MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039760, MRDS ID #M050783.
A Pb occurrence/prospect with underground workings located in sec. 5, T14S, R12E.
Mineralization is ore 1 meter wide, striking N40W and dipping 48E. Alteration is argillitic. Ore control was the Silver Lily Dike, a few meters uphill to the NE of the shafts; footwall of shear zone locus.
The workings are along a 20cm to 1 meter wide breccia zone in the footwall of a shear zone, which is 10-20cm thick. Argillite in the shear zone is weakly argillized. Galena to 5mm wide is fairly common, but not abundant, on white calcite vein material.
Workings include two inclined shafts. These inclined shafts look like stopes in part.
