A former U-Mo mine.
Mineralization is primary and secondary uranium minerals with gangue species in lenses and pods. The ore fills intraformational channels and scours within the upper 30 feet of the Shinarump and lower 60 feet of the Petrified Forest members of the Triassic Chinle formation. Area orebodies are surrounded by a light brown to yellowish-brown alteration halo which cuts across the normal purple and grey beds of host rock types.
