Mineralization is a deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 151; USGS model code: 25d; Deposit model name: Epithermal vein, Sado; may alos be categorized as: 25A, Hot-spring Au-Ag deposit), hosted in rhyolite. The ore body is a vein that strikes N70W; N80W and dips 75S; 60-70S, at a thickness of 1.52 meters. The vein cuts rhyolite and the underlying andesite. High-grade ore is associated with heavy iron-stained gouge on the hanging wall. Some of the vein quartz shows copper silicate stain. The vein is 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.25 cm) thick. Local rocks include Tertiary volcanic flow rocks, unit 17 (Cascade Range).
Workings include underground openings with a length of 182.88 meters and comprised of a crosscut adit, 150 feet to the vein, with a 250 foot E drift on the vein.
