A Cu occurrence with surface workings located in sec. 5, T8S, R19E, 3 miles ENE of Copper Creek.
Mineralization is hosted in the Galiuro Volcanics Andesite The ore is fracture surfaces filmed with secondary copper minerals. The country rock is red to dark purple fine-grained amygdaloidal andesite cut by fractures and thinly mineralized. 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 faults.
Workings include one shallow pit. There was probably no production.
