A Cu-Au prospect with surface workings located on the western slope of a spur 1 mile South of sec. 32, T.9S., R.18W. and 6 miles South of Wellton.
Gneiss strikes nearly west, dips 30º towards the North, and is cut by several aplitic dikes. A narrow, lenticular, white quartz vein near on of these dikes contains some bunches of brown calcite, together with hematite and granular quartz. In places considerable copper stain is developed. The vein walls are somewhat sericitized.
Workings include a few shallow cuts.
