MRDS database Dep. ID file #10095433, MRDS ID #M050830.
A Pb-Cu occurrence/prospect with surface workings located in sec. 21, T13S, R12E.
Mineralization is ore at 1.7 meters wide, striking N60E and dipping 70S, hosted in andesite. Alteration includes propylitic. A small amount of very porous, fine-grained quartz with minor limonite plus malachite in vugs was found in debris. A 50 cm shear zone striking N85W and dipping 32N occurs 10 meters S of the larger shear zone, in the upper pit. There is possibly some cerussite in the upper pit and some late calcite.
Workings include 2 pits.
