Deposit: Outcrop of quartz veins in felsite/granite, with molybdenite?, sericite, red hematite. Road cut exposes a series of parallel quartz veins and aplite dikes cutting granite and felsite. Wall rock is sericitized and stained red with hematite. Phelps Dodge corp's drill hole lp-6, total depth 690 ft, collared in "griesen", penetrated biotite granite, andesite, ended in schist. Hole averaged 21 ppm mo with highest value 95 ppm mo. Discovery year: staked 1976
Deposit type: Porphyry Mo, low-F
Development: Active claims in 1986, nearby recent road building and drilling
