A Mn occurrence located in sec. 33, T19S, R29E, MDM, 1.4 km (0.9 mile) WNW of Milo (on a low hill 65 feet S of the roas, 7 miles by road to Springville). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is hosted in Late Cretaceous granite. A quartz vein 1½ feet thick consists of clear, glassy quartz coated by soft, black, sooty, impure pyrolusite. About 4 inches on the S side of the vein is mostly pyrolusite, with the raminder being quartz. Quartz also stained with limonite and hematite. The vein is in highly altered granitic rock. Less altered rocks in the vicinity have a composition close to biotite granodiorite. Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges).
Workings include unspecified surface openings/operations.
