A series of lead prospects along generally E-W-striking structures located in the NE ¼ sec. 30, T.28N., R.18W.

Mineralization is a series of veins. One quartz vein, 15 to 30 cm thick (estimated) lies along a N.85ºE.-striking fault. Abundant lead minerals and pyrite molds were noted locally. Numerous quartz veins and pods occur along a sericitized and deformed contact zone between medium-grained gneissic biotite granodiorite and leucocratic granite-bearing metamorphic complex. The easternmost prospect pits were sunk on 2 quartz-pyrite-galena-cerussite veins 15 to 30 cm thick.

Workings include a series of prospect pits.
