Geology: A block of forty-seven lode claims was staked in 1978 by MAPCO, Inc. and were active through at least 1981 (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1980). The rocks in the vicinity consist of augite-bearing flows, volcanic breccia, tuff, graywacke, phyllite, and slate of the Jurassic or Cretaceous Stephens Passage Group and their hornfelsed equivalents across the Mosman fault (Brew, 1997 [OF 97-156-A]; Karl and others, 1999).
