Supergene native silver and native copper forming plates and cement in a breccia of clay, together with native copper-included gypsum crystals, in a fault gouge cutting red arcillaceous Tertiary sandstone. Primary ore appears to have been chalcosite impregnation in the sandstone country rock. Mining was stopped at 60 meters depth, near the water table, because of exhalation of CO2 gas.
