A former Au-Ag mine located in the eastern White Hills.
Mineralization is a 0.9 to 1.2 meter thick quartz vein striking N.20ºE. and dips 45ºSE. Pyrite and other sulfides are concentrated along late hypogene fractures parallel to the overall strike of the vein. Only a small percentage of the vein is mineralized. Downhill to the East, the vein strikes N.35ºE., dips 20ºSE and is from 0.15 to 1.2 meters thick. Here, the vein pinches and swells, cutting strongly sheared gneiss or medium-grained granodiorite, and it includes a quartz-iron carbonate-chlorite-pyrite-galena-sphalerite(?)-Chalcopyrite(?) assemblage. Chrysocolla is abundant. Mineralogy of the NNE-striking, gently to moderately SE-dipping vein includes quartz, pyrite, galena, and cerussite. Trace amounts of secondary copper minerals are present. Gold was found in the dump of the main shaft. Veinlets locally cut hydrothermally altered alaskite.
Workings include a 6 meter deep shaft.
