A Au prospect located in sec. 32, T5S, R37E, MDM, about 2.9 km (9,400 feet) W of Oasis, on the eastern margin of the White Mountains. Property was comprised of 4 claims. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 5,000 meters.

NOTE: coordinates presented in both MRDS files plot this locality to sec. 29 [N of sec. 32]; however, in view of the stated inaccuracy of location, this is plausible. MMDS file #10007223 contains 2 notes of relevence: 1. Modified to match location of DEP_ID 10140140. On Google Earth this is part of alluvial plains. Most likely the location should be moved to the mountains on the west, but {the reporter} couldn't find any workings for sure. UTM Accurate S½ S½; and, 2. Shaft symbol in sec. 32 , not 29 as indicated in reference.
