A Ni prospect located in the NW¼NW¼NW¼ sec. 19, T11N, R2E, SBM, 3.4 km (2.1 miles) WNW of Coyote Wells (coordinates of record), near the SE edge of Coyote Lake, 11.8 km (about 6½ miles) NE of Calico, on the NE margin of the Calico Mountains. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
Local rocks include Paleozoic marine rocks, undivided, unit 2 (Northern Mojave Desert and Southeastern Sierra Nevada).
Workings include unspecified surface and underground openings (the topo map seems to reflects 2 or 3 prospect pit symbols and perhaps 1 adit symbol just W of this point [symbols muddled in other topo map graphics]).
