A former underground Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au-As-Cd mine.

Mineralization is a tabular ore body hosted in the Bridle Formation; Dick Rhyolite. Ore control was stratigraphy and igneous activity. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was chloritization and pyritization.

Area structures include massive sulphide lenses parallel to foliation and bedding. The foliation in the local Precambrian metavolcanic rocks trends N20E to N30E.
