A former surface and underground Ag-Zn-Pb-Cu-Au-V mine.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS: Observed in February, 2005. A timbered vertical shaft is still open. A dump accompanies this shaft and is comprised of relatively barren brown-stained quartz boxwork and rock. Nearby concrete foundations indicate the past presence of a relatively large milling & treatment (cyanide ?) facility.
