A group of 5 gold prospects located at UTM: 747,180 m.E., 3,984,640 m.N.
Mineralization is quartz veins in altered amphibolite, that comprises the vein walls. Steeply-dipping shear zone that strikes about N.10ºW. Veins primarily contain milky quartz, carbonate and sulfides with gold.
Workings include a deep verticle shaft approximately 30 meters deep on the East side of the wash.
