Deposit: Light to medium-gray phyllite with minor amounts of milky white quartz on dump, As well As aplite dike material on dump. Upper workings (2 very short adits) are in Fe-stained meta-intrusive rock (originally a granodiorite or monzonite), strongly lineated no W with fair amounts of chlorite. Upper workings were started on a milky white Fe-stained quartz vein about 6 inches wide. Lower adit was probably driven to intersect this vein, but didn't make it!

Deposit type: Low-sulfide Au-quartz vein

Development: No activity in 1984; fairly old workings, largest workings in the area
