Prospects without specified commodity(ies) located in the SW¼ sec. 8, T29N, R17W, G&SRM, E of Hualapai Wash, near the Golden Mile Mine.

Mineralization is magnetite-bearing leucogranite pegmatite containing cataclastic margins characterized by fine-grained magnetite. A block of skarn occurs in the wash at the prospect. Radioactivity is locally up to 7 times normal background. The margins of the pegmatite have the highest counts in areas along the hanging wall.
