Deposit: Small pods containing a little scheelite and oxidized copper minerals occur along the marble-monzonite contact, along the marble-volcanic contact, and locally within the marble
Development: Property consists of 2 unpatented lode claims known As silver star 1 and 2. The larger part of the claims lie within the u.s. Naval ammunitions depot.
Geology: The metamorphic rocks have been folded. Small lenses of quartz, quartz and limonite, garnet, tactite, or a combination of all 3 occur along contacts or within the marble. Many of these contain no scheelite and only stains of copper; some contain narrow streaks of low grade scheelite
Rock formation(s): Excelsior
