Ref.: Ashley, R.P. (1974), Field Examination (Unnamed Pb-Cu prospect 117-47).
MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039871, MRDS ID #M050980.
A Pb-Cu occurrence/prospect with underground workings located in sec. 32, T13S, R12E, on National Park land.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with the ore zone striking N20W and dipping 40W, hosted in arkose. Cu silicate occurs on fractures; disseminated malachite is moderately abundant and pyrite is scarce.
Ore control was dike-wallrock contact. An associated rock unit is plutonic igneous rock.
Workings include an inclined shaft (stope ?).
