Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Vernal Mining Company Ground
Structure: Faults
Alteration: Silicification, Pyritization, Kaolinization.
Deposit: Ledge is a broad zone of partly sheeted and partly irregularly fissured and shattered rock. Walls are indefinite or gougy. Ore was found between the 62-ft level and the surface. Some "stringer lode" ore
Deposit type: Epithermal quartz-alunite Au

Geology: At least two periods of fissuring and veining and evident at the 150-ft level
Rock formation(s): Milltown Andesite
Ore(s): Fissuring, Brecciation In Sheeted Zone
