A former surface Li-Mn-Ta-Nb-Feldspar-Mica-Phosphates occurrence/prospect located near the NW corner of the SWΒΌ sec. 10, T7N, R3W.
Mineralization is the Sunrise lithium pegmatite. The main dike and nearby smaller dike. The main dike trends NE and appears to dip steeply. It is 600 feet long, 60 feet wide. The core is massive quartz pegmatite; the intermediate zone is quartz-montebrasite-spodumene-perthite pegmatite; and the wall & border zones are perthite-quartz-lepidolite pegmatite.
Workings include several small, shallow prospect cuts and bulldozer strippings.
