Deposit: Target is flat-lying, probably lenticular. Bodies of hectorite, a li-bearing white montmorillonite clay, prized for its high plasticity and viscosity in liquids. Thickness, extend, and tonnage of hectorite is unknown. There are no outcrops in the area, but extent of the clay-bearing sedimentary unit is inferred
Development: Clays were discovered by drilling in 1983, 1984 and perhaps earlier. No activity at time of examination in 1984.
