Numerous barren-looking quartz veins cut slates of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Leech River Complex (Formation). An adit appears to follow one of the less conspicuous veins. A sample taken from a vein above and to one side of the adit contains trace amounts of gold. The shaft appears to have passed through a thicker, white vein.
