MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039783, MRDS ID #M050850.
A Cu occurrence/prospect with surface and underground workings located in sec. 25, T13S, R11E.
Mineralization is a skarn deposit with a pod-like ore body 10 meters long by 1.5 meters wide hosted in quartz monzonite and arkose. Magnetite-rich skarn has some quartz and epidote, locally has disseminated chalcopyrite mostly oxidized to malachite, limonite, and Cu silicates. Massive limonite occurs at 2 pits 30-35 meters N of the shaft, associated with massive magnetite. Alteration includes pyrite gossan; skarn.
Workings include a shaft, 2 pits, 30 and 50 meters to the E, and 2 pits 30-35 meters to the N.
