A former surface and underground Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn mine. Produced 1935-1951.
Mineralization is a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface (30 to 50 foot depth). Minor alteration noted. An associated rock unit is the Government Canyon Granodiorite and the informally named Walker Granodiorite.
Area structures include veins sometimes parallel to regional foliation in Precambrian country rocks that trends N10E to N45E.
