Mineralization is copper carbonates in narrow replacement deposits in Pennsylvanian Horquila Limestone cut by small porphyry dikes. Ore control was the beds near NE-trending faults and folds. The beds strike NW and dip 40NE. An associated rock unit is the Texas Canyon Quartz Monzonite (53 ± 3 MY).
Local structures include a massive facture system. Tertiary block faulting with a general NE trend.
Workings include a shaft and tunnel workings. A total of some 60-70 tons of ore were shipped in 1908, 1912 and 1942.
