An underground Cu prospect located in sec. 5, T8S, R19E, 3 miles ENE of Copper Creek, near the Pinal County line.
Mineralization is a tabular ore body hosted in Galiuro Volcanics Andesite. Fractures are filled with thin veinlets of copper minerals, and are in "Turkey Track" andesite.
Ore control was fracture in andesite and ore concentration was fissure filling.
Area structures include block faulting trending NNW. Regional trends: minor Pre-Cretaceous E- and NE-trending folds and major Post-Cretaceous NNW-trending faults. Late Tertiary uplift and faulting.
Workings include one shaft at 60 feet (18.29 meters) deep.
