A Au-Cu prospect located in North-central sec. 12, T2S, R11W, about 2 miles N60E from the Bill Taft prospect.
Mineralization is spotty gold with minor copper in weathered zones in quartz lenses or silicified zones with strong iron oxides, in Precambrian schist intruded by granitic masses and andesitic to granitic dikes, or in granitic masses. A large tongue of fine-grained granitic rock has invaded schist. It exhibits a marked alteration of its feldspar and mica and, near the vein, contains considerable amounts of specularite in disseminations, streaks, and bunches. The vein is about 2 feet wide and strikes NE, and at the surface, dips 80ºNW. At a depth of 25 feet the vein steepens and thickens for a short distance.
Workings include a vertical shaft.
