Mineralization is hosted in gneiss. The ore body is 1.22 meters thick. Controls for ore emplacement included a fault zone. Ore occurs in several veins near the contact between Pre-Cambrian gneiss and Tertiary volcanic rocks. Associated rocks include Pliocene/Neoproterozoic volcanic rock (aphanitic). Local rocks include Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rock complex and/or Tertiary nonmarine rocks, undivided.
Workings include surface and underground openings. The deposit was explored for a few hundred feet by a drift adit, several pits and shallow, inclined shafts. Another vein was explored by a 300 foot adit.
