A Cu-Fe-Quartz occurrence on 6 patented claims (Niagara No. 1 to No. 6) with underground workings, located in the SW¼ sec. 32, T.15N., R.9W. (Bagdad 15 minute topo map), including the northernmost breccia pipe along Niagara Creek.
Mineralization involves a cylindrical breccia pipe with quartz cementing the brecciated material. A NNW striking fault, and a WNW fault are explored by drifts. Host rock is the Butte Falls Tuff and the King Peak Rhyolite. Associated rock units are diorite porphyry and aplite. Ore control is the breccia pipe. No alterationm is noted.
Local structures include foliation in metavolcanic rocks that trends N10E to N40E. Veins parallel dikes and the foliation.
A 150 foot adit was driven. An 80 foot drift follows a fault, and another drift 50 foot long follows another fault.
