Mineralization is a tabular ore body hosted in Pliocene latite. The ore body is tabular, strikes NW and dips 15SW at a thickness of 1.83 meters and a length of 914.4 meters and covers 4 HA. Ore body Nos. 1 & 2 are fissure veins and ore body No. 3 is a shear zone. The primary mode of origin was contact metasomatism. Primary ore control was igneous activity. Wallrock alteration is slight (propylitic) plus advanced argillitic. A north-trending fault zone has displaced the beds upward to the west side. Local rocks include Middle Miocene to Oligocene sedimentary rocks and/or Late to Middle Miocene basaltic rocks.
Workings include surface and underground openings with a length of 67.06 meters, overall length of 152.4 meters and an overall width of 91.44 meters. The claims were explored by trenches, tunnels and shafts.
