Deposit: The property consists of 3 unpatented location claims the primary sulfide minerals are chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and covellite. Erythrite occurs in fractures in and near quartz veinlets and also As post-mine druses and crusts. Copper occurs in chalcopyrite, malachite, and chrysocolla in quartz veinlets and adjacent metamorphic rocks. Three samples taken averaged 0.07 percent cobalt.
