A former W occurrence/mine located in sec. 14, T18N, R15W, G&SRM, NE of Hibernia Peak, 19 miles E of Yucca, on Bureau of Land Management administered land. The USGS MRDS database accuracy for this locality is not stated.
Mineralization is a W deposit hosted in schist and gneiss. The ore body strikes N68E and dips 85SE. The fissure is zoned as follows: 0.5 inch of gouge along the fault, 2 inches of quartz on the N side of the gouge, 6 inches of quartz on the S side of the gouge, next is 2 feet of altered schist, followed by 12 inches of quartz. Wolframite occurs in crystalline masses 1 inch thick and up to 4 inches long. Associated rocks include Neoproterozoic-Late Cretaceous pegmatite and granite. Local rocks include Early Proterozoic granitic rocks.
Local geologic features include schist foliation striking N50ºE, and dipping 80ºNW.
Workings include unspecified surface and underground openings with an overall depth of 9.14 meters (20 feet), overall length of 30.48 meters (100 feet) and an overall width of 4.57 meters (15 feet).
