A reported placer Au occurrence/prospects located in the NW¼SE¼ sec. 16, T29N, R12E, MDM, 8.4 km (5.2 miles) NE of Diamond Mountain (coordinates of record) and 5.4 km (3.4 miles) SSE of Susanville. Operated by Tro Emerson. MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated.
This deposit is a relic of an old channel and the slightly reworked gravels show a great variety of old country rock pebbles that are well-rounded by stream action. Local rocks include Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits.
Workings include surface openings comprised of extensive diggings.
