Mineralization is a 0.3 meter thick quartz vein containing some iron carbonate, albite, and some minor seams of baryte (?). Considerable late galena and oxidation products of chalcopyrite also occur in the vein. The vein occupies a minor normal (?) fault in predominantly amphibolite paragenesis, which includes a lens of well-laminated iron formation, approximately 100 meters NNW of the 2 meter deep pit at this site.
Workings include surface openings comprised of a 2 meter deep prospect pit.
