A Cu occurrence with underground workings located in sec. 6, T8S, R19E, 2.3 miles ENE of Copper Creek, near the Pinal County line.
Mineralization is hosted in the Galiuro Volcanics Andesite. The ore zone is 10 to 15 feet (4.57 meters) thick, strikes N40W, and dips 80SW. Chrysocolla forms films on rock in a stringer less than 1 inch thick in fractured flow brecia. The country rock is fine-grained, reddish gray andesite. Ore control was fractures.
Area structures include vertical faults, block faulting trending NNW. Regional trends: minor Pre-Cretaceous E- and NE-trending folds and major Post-Cretaceous NNW-trending faults.
Workings achieved a depth of 100 feet (30.48 meters). Probably no production.
