Ref.: Ashley, R.P. (1974), Field Examination (Unnamed Cu prospect 119-1).
MRDS database Dep. ID file #10095443, MRDS ID #M050863.
A Cu occurrence/prospect with surface workings located in sec. 19, T13S, R12E, on National Park land.
Mineralization is ore in veinlets hosted in quartz monzonite. The host quartz monzonite is shot through with many tiny quartz veinlets. Moderately abundant limonite occurs in small blobs and on fractures, and relatively abundant malachite and Cu silicate disseminated and on fractures. A small amount of pyrite and chalcopyrite occurs in the veinlets.
Workings include a pit.
