Ref.: Ashley, R.P. (1974), Field Examination (Unnamed Cu prospect 118-16).
MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039832, MRDS ID #M050912.
A Cu occurrence/prospect with underground workings located in sec. 30, T13S, R12E, on National Park property.
Mineralization is a skarn deposit hosted in arkose. Ore control was skarn and fractures. Alteration includes pyrite-gossan; skarn.
Dump material includes calcite-garnet skarn with pyrite stringers and blobs, also some magnetite-diopside(?)-calcite skarn with similar pyrite; and some massive coarsely crystalline [crystals to several mm] pyrite; some malachite and Cu silicate on fracture surfaces in skarn.
Workings includes a tunnel.
