A Pb-Cu-Zn-Mo claim with surface and underground workings located in the NE¼ sec. 30, T5S, R20E, 2 miles NNE of Aravaipa on the crest and west side of the ridge S of the Iron Cap Mine. Several small prospects are grouped together on one claim.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit hosted in Bolsa Quartzite; Martin Formation; Escabrosa Limestone and Dolomite. An associated rock unit is the Copper Creek Granodiorite. Ore control was the contact of Bolsa Quartzite and the Martin Formation or Escabrosa Limestone. Ore concentration was replacement. Some of the ore is high grade.
Area structures include the Iron Cap thrust fault nearby; block faulting trending NNW. Regional trends: minor Pre-Cretaceous E- and NE-trending folds.
Workings include a caved adit and a shallow pit. No information on production, if any.
