A former Mo-U mine located in the NW¼ sec. 20, T27S, R32E, MDM, 3.1 km (1.9 miles) WSW of Miracle Hot Springs, along the S canyon wall of the Kern River Canyon, on National Forest land. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.

NOTE: USGS MRDS database file #10107626 pertains to this locality; however, it contains data, in part, that relate to deposits in Africa (Sierra Leone ?). Those data should be ignored.

Mineralization is hosted in granodiorite. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges).

Workings include underground openings.

There was small production.

Analytical data results: Black ore sample contained 1.84% Mo.
