A surface Cu prospect (two prospects 0.1 mile apart) located in sec. 17, T6S, R20E, 3.3 miles SE of Aravaipa, on National Forest land.
Mineralization is a vein deposit along a fault zone in breccia hosted in Horse Mountain Cretaceous-Tertiary coarse-grained tuff and agglomerate. The ore zone strikes N30W and dips 75SW. An associated rock unit is the Copper Creek Granodiorite. Ore control was the fault breccia along the Grand Reef Fault. Alteration is silicification.
Area structures include the Grand Reef Fault and block faulting trending NNW. Regional trends: minor Pre-Cretaceous E- and NE-trending folds and major Post-Cretaceous NNW-trending faults.
Workings include a cut 40 feet deep and shallow pits.
