A Cu-Pb-Mo prospect located in sec. 23, T8S, R12E, between Durham Wash and Olsen Wash, about 1 mile E of state highway 79, on private land.
Mineralizaton is hosted in the Ruin (Oracle) Granite. Alteration is silicification and seritization. Ore involves heavy quartz veining, heavy sulfide boxwork. X-ray of yellow film-like material gives Kaolinite, Montmorillonite, and Duftite.
Workings include 3 prospects. This outcrop suggests additional work (drilling, geophysics) would be worthwhile.
