MRDS database Dep. ID file #10095458, MRDS ID #M051078.
A Cu occurrence/prospect located in sec. 9, T12S, R8E.
Mineralization is ore hosted in Cretaceous clastic sedimentary rocks. Abundant chrysocolla is present but very little if any oxidized sulfides. It is suspected that this is exotic from nearby copper mineralization. Alteration includes propylitic.
Workings include a shaft.
