Mineralization is irregular quartz vein with bunches and disseminations of base metal sulfides in a crosscutting fault in Precambrian granite associated with a diabase dike. Also includes oxidized copper minerals.
Local structures include quartz monzonite in fault contact with Cretaceous sediments to the north. Faulting and shearing throughout the quartz monzonite body.
