Geology: The country rock at this prospect is mainly Jurassic quartz diorite that locally contains roof pendants of Jurassic mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The prospect consists of small bodies of magnetite-quartz and magnetite-rich skarn in the mafic and ultramafic rocks (Berg and Cobb, 1967; Detterman and Reed, 1980).
Workings: Prospect was staked but little work was done (Berg and Cobb, 1967).
Age: Jurassic.
Alteration: Contact metasomatism: formation of replacement bodies of iron-rich skarn in mafic and ultramafic rocks intruded by quartz diorite.
