Mineralization is a vein deposit that strikes N.18ºE. & dips steeply West in a small fissure, 2 to 3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) wide with a pay streak about 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation of near surface ores. No alteration noted. An associated rock unit is the Crown King Granodiorite (informal name) and rhyolite dikes.
