MRDS database Dep. ID file #10095459, MRDS ID #M051081.
A Cu occurrence/prospect located in sec. 32, T11S, R8E.
Mineralization is ore hosted in quartz monzonite. The ore consists of moderate quartz-sericite with oxidized pyrite, chalcocite and probably chalcopyrite. Chrysocolla occurs as a fracture lining. Alteration includes quartz-sericite-pyrite.
