Ref.: Ashley, R.P. (1974), Field Examination (Unnamed Cu prospect 119-6).

MRDS database Dep. ID file #10039875, MRDS ID #M050999.

A Cu occurrence/prospect with surface workings located in sec. 20, T13S, R12E, on National Park land. Part of the Arizona Consolidated Mine group. See crib record-M001019 for general group information and production.

Mineralization is a skarn deposit with a pod-shaped ore body 2 meters wide hosted in arkose. The skarn consists of dense material OF green-black amphibole crystals (individual crystals to several mm), with minor amounts of quartz, epidote, and interstitial limonite. Alteration is skarn. An associated rock unit is quartz monzonite.

Workings include a pit.
