Mineralization is a vein deposit. The ore body strikes N35W and dips 65NE. The vein forms a system of irregular quartz stringers cutting amphibolite schist, forming pockets at the intersections of vertical stringers with those having a slight dip. Local rocks include undivided pre-Cenozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 2 (undivided).
Workings include underground openings comprised of a 375 foot adit.
