A former Cu-Au-Ag-Zn-W-Sn occurrence/mine located in sec. 25, T15N, R13E, SBM, about 4.6 km NNW of Kessler Peak, on a western spur of the Ivanpah Range (12 miles NW of Cima), on federal reservation land (East Mojave National Scenic Area). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
Mineralization is hosted in skarn (tactite). The tactite zone lies along the contact between limestone and granite. Local rocks include Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits.
Workings include underground openings with an overall depth of 68.58 meters and comprised of a 70 degree inclined shaft at 225 feet deep (prior to 1910), plus other, irregular shallow openings.
No production was reported.
