A former Pb-Zn-Au-Cu-Ag mine located in sec. 26, T22S, R45E, MDM, 4.7 km (2.9 miles) SE of Slims Peak (coordinates of record), on the divide between the South Park and Middle Park Basins, on National Park Service wilderness land (Death Valley National Park/Death Valley Wilderness). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit hosted in limestone. The ore occurs in fractured limestone for a distance of 600 to 700 feet. Local rocks include Precambrian rocks, undivided, unit 1 (Death Valley).
Workings include underground openings comprised of a 50 foot inclined shaft plus 75 feet of drifts and crosscuts driven S and SE at the bottom of the shaft. During 1952-1953, A.D.M.E.A. project was underway to drive an adit below the known ore reserves.
Production data are found in: Norman, L.A. & Richard M. Stewart (1951): 78 - 79.
