The deposit occurs in one of several dike-like peridotite bodies that are NW-trending across central to SW Trinity County.Local rocks include ultramafic rocks, chiefly Mesozoic, unit 2 (Western Sierra Nevada and Klamath Mountains).
Workings include surface openings comprised of an open cut in the face of the hill. Old open cuts indicate chromite was mined during the period 1914-1918.
Production data are found in: Wells, F.G. and Hawkes, H.E. (1965): 183.
