Kรถppen climate type:
An unworked prospect.
A massive surface limonite body, possibly base metal or sulphides in a former life. Gilligan 1993 goes into various theories how the ore body came to be. Located above the contact between the west dipping Regina Volcanics and Mount Halfway Volcanics. The limonite is next to a reverse fault, the fault containing pyrite and chalcopyrite in strongly chloritic Regina Volcanics.
