A Th-Ba(baryte) occurrence.
Mineralization is hosted in migmatitic gneiss that probably underlies volcanics (migmatite, gneiss, hornblendite).
Geologic structures include the Wet Mountains; the Deer Peak Volcanic Field, nearly on Axis of pre-volcanic paleo Valley; nearby large, NW-trending fault.
Related tectonic Structure: Central Cordillera (Southern Rocky Mountains).
