The vein width is less than 1, to about 2 feet wide. It consists of coarse-grained, glassy, gray quartz, locally with intergrowths of pale-green muscovite. Orebody is tabular.
Workings include an upper adit tunnel about 150 feet long connected by stopes and raises with a 500 foot adit some 160 feet farther down-dip. A 1,400 foot long adit (1940-41) connects with a 350 foot deep winze below the old lower tunnel level.
