Mineralization is hosted in granite. The ore body strikes N40E and dips 70E at a thickness of 0.61 meter. There are 2 parallel veins, the Pennsylvania and the Sunrise, 10 inches (25 cm) to 2 feet (0.61 meter) in thickness. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges).
Workings include underground openings. Developments on the Pennsylvania vein consist of an inclined shaft sunk on the vein to a depth of 210 feet.About 300 feet in elevation below the collar of this shaft, a crosscut was driven NW to intersect the Pennsylvania vein at a point 300 feet NE of the shaft. This tunnel has been advanced 850 feet in granite. At an elevation of 80 feet above this tunnel, there is a tunnel driven SW on the Sunshine vein a distance of 800 feet.
