Location: Occurrence is situated on a northeast-facing spur of an isolated range of hills at an elevation of 2,000 feet (609 m) in Section 8, T. 23 S., R. 17 E., of the Kateel River Meridian. Location is estimated to be within about 500 feet (152 m).
Geology: Quartz -galena vein cuts sheared argillite and hornfels (Patton and Moll, 1983). Surface samples contain values of 100 ppm Ag, more than 2 percent Pb, 700 ppm Sb, and 300 ppm Zn (Patton and Moll, 1983).
Workings: The occurrence was first reported by U.S. Geological Survey personnel during an AMRAP investigation of the Medfra quadrangle (Patton and others, 1980). Surface samples contain 100 ppm Ag, more than 2 percent Pb, 700 ppm Sb, and 300 ppm Zn (Patton and Moll, 1983).
Reserves: None.
