Two adits and two shafts were all inaccessible in 1944 (Seager, 1944). The host rock was a biotite schist with possibly some association with a quartz latite porphyry extrusive on Palmer Mountain. The ore was found in lenticular quartz bodies with some arsenopyrite (Seager, 1944). The site was visited in August 2000 and the workings were still inaccessible and dry. |
