Mineralization is hosted in granodiorite and lamprophyre. The ore body is pinch-and-swell in form, strikes N30E and dips 70E at a thickness of 1.52 meters. Ore controls included faults and a shear zone. Granodiorite is intruded by lamprophyre dikes. A mass of serpentine was found a few hundred feet to the N. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 5 (Klamath Mountains).
