Deposit: Worked from 1872 to 1882 when 17,292 tons valued at $158,616 were produced. ; info.src : 1 pub lit ore bodies localized by intense fracturing of brittle quartzite along shear zones. Andmalous radioactivity noted along shear zones

Geology: The deposit is unique in that the host rock is quartzite, the ore bodies were localized by intense fracturing of the brittle quartzite. Jasperoid is common along the nearby hoosac fault zone. Tertiary andesite dikes, rhyolite flows, and in trusive breccias occur near the mine (nolan 1962 p.71).
