Mineralization is pyrolusite with manganite and psilomelane, mixed with quartz and calcite, in irregular shoots in a lensing brecciated zone in Tertiary andesitic volcanics.
Workings include an adit and shaft operations. This mine was worked from about 1953 through 1958 and produced some 500 tons of 30-40% Mn ore.
