The mine workings include four adits, a few small stopes, and one shallow shaft. These explore a quartz-carbonate vein in a fault zone to a depth of about 50 metres. The host rocks consist of coarse grained, porphyritic granite of the Nelson batholith.. The vein is well mineralized and strikes 095 degrees, dips 70 degrees south and varies in thickness from 0.6 to 1.5 metres. The chief vein minerals are quartz, siderite and some galena and sphalerite.
