Tectonics: San Juan Uplift
Deposit: The deposit was mapped by reconnaissance, dipneedle and magnetometer work.
Development: Mcleroy (1970, p. 13) suggests that the scrub oak vegetation in the area may be useful in delineating the iron ore body. Mcleroy says "the thickest growths are on slopes with the greatest amount of iron concentrations. The scrub oaks highest on the slopes usually define exactly the upper boundary of the iron deposit."
Geology: Bingler (1968, p. 106) says several writers have classified the precambrian iron-rich greenschist As taconite, the typical ferruginous chert of the lake superior iron district.
Rock formation(s): Moppin Metavolcanic Series
