Mineralization is a replacement deposit with irregular ore bodies hosted in Limestone. Where observed, the ferruginous limestone exposures rest on Precambrian biotite granite with widely divergent dips. The iron-enriched portion of the limestone appears as much as 10 feet thick and may prove extensive but low grade. An associated rock unit is rhyolite.
Small surface cuts constitute the development work done on the property. No production record. A character sample taken by the Bureau in 1961 contained 47.0% Fe; 0.3% Mn; 0.3% titania; 0.11% P; 0.36% S; and, 19.4% Si.
