A tactite zone 6 to 10 feet wide occurs with occasional beds of marble. ranite dikes cut these rocks. Meta-sedimentary rocks consist of hornfels. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges).
Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of an open cut on the W end 5 feet long and 12 feet deep. On the E is an open cut and 2 adits 40 feet long and below the cut.
