Mineralization is a polymetallic vein deposit hosted in Ithaca Peak granite. Alteration is pyritized and silicified granite. Precambrian schistosity strikes N30ºE. Mineralization is associated with a Late Cretaceous porphyry intrusion. Veins, fissures and dikes strike NW to NNW regionally. Associated rocks include Late Cretaceous Ithaca Peak Granite. Local rocks include Early Proterozoic granitic rocks and/or Early Tertiary to Late Cretaceous granitic rocks.
Workings include underground openings with a length of 365.76 meters and an overall depth of 60.96 meters and are comprised of a 200 foot shaft and 2 drifts, each about 600 feet long.
