Köppen climate type:
This prospect, located four miles west of Ava, consists of an outcrop of secondary limonite covering an area of about three-quarters of an acre on the west point of a hill. Dolomite, of the Jefferson City formation, outcrops on the hillsides, indicating that the residuum at this place is not very thick. The ore occurs in both the pipe and boulder forms which show abundant sulphide pseudomorphs. There is also a small amount of cellular limonite which is highly silicious due to the presence of sand and fragments of chert.
