A gold placer deposit area in the southern Muggins Mountains. Burro Canyon trends southward from Muggins Peak.
Mineralization is in an area of southward dipping lava flows, intercalated with thick beds of conglomerate, form a rugged terrain. This conglomerate, which consists mainly of coarse, subangular pebbles of gneiss and granite, rather firmly cemented in a sandy to clayey matrix, forms the bedrock of the placers. The gold-bearing gravels occur principally as ancient bars several feet above the stream channel and, to a lesser extent, in the present stream bed. The gold occurs as particles up to 0.15 inch in diameter, mostly concentrated at or near bedrock.
