A Cu prospect with underground workings located in secs. 11 & 12, T5N, R14W, 5 miles W of Salome, on BLM-administered land.
Mineralization is hosted in mica schist. An associated rock unit is granite. The lack of contact metamorphic minerals is indicative of a shallow depth or slight overlying weight at the time of the intrusion of the granite magma.
Workings are 12.19 meters long and 45.72 meters deep.
