A Pb-Cu-Zn-Au-Ag occurrence located in sec. 4, T33N, R2W, MDM, 1.6 km (5,400 feet) ESE of Sugarloaf (coordinates of record). Property consists of 5 claims. MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit hosted in rhyolite and slate. The ore body strikes NE and dips 45NW. The hanging wall is slate and the footwall is rhyolite. Ore in one shaft the quartz contains sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. Local rocks include Mesozoic volcanic rocks, unit 5 (Northern Sierra Nevada and Eastern Klamath Mountains).
Workings include underground openings 365.76 meters long. A 25 foot deep shaft cuts several feet of siliceous ore. There are 1,700 feet of drifts. On the Homestake group, two 25 foot deep shafts were sunk and are filled with water.
