A Pb occurrence/prospect with surface workings located in sec. 5, T14S, R12E.
Mineralization is a vein deposit (breccia filling along a fracture zone) 80 meters long, striking S40-70W and dipping 42NW. The 1-1.5 meter wide breccia zone with planes hanging wall, mostly striking S40W, but turns to S70W at the W end. The breccia is cemented with more or less limonite-stained calcite (and some siderite?) with minor galena.
Workings include 4 pits.
