A Ag-Cu-Pb-Au mining area located in T.14-15S., R.9-10E. in the Roskruge Mountains.
Mineralization is spotty, scattered and generally weak, oxidized silver, copper, lead, and minor gold minerals along fracture zones in Cretaceous and Tertiary volcanics and sediments.
Workings include mostly prospects. Some 380 tons of ore containing about 10,500 oz. Ag, 25 tons Cu, 25 tons Pb, and 20 oz. Au were produced through 1972.
