A Pb-Ag-Au prospect located in sec. 3, T10S, R12E, about 2 miles SSE of Owl Head Buttes, on private land.
Mineralization is comprised of two or three 6 inch to 1 foot wide quartz veins with sericitic alteration hosted in Ruin (Oracle) Granite. The ore zone strikes N80E and dips 50-80S. Ore minerals are abundant argentiferous galena and oxidized pyrite. Alteration is silicification and seritization.
