A Cu-U deposit located in the center sec. 11, T40N, R21E, G&SRM, 2.6 km (1.6 miles) E of Hunts Mesa (coordinates of record), near the crest of Agathla anticline. Discovered in 1948.
Mineralization is small cracks in the uppermost strata of the Moenkopi formation in many places around the mesa. The deposit is a replacement deposit and the ore body is channel fill hosted in the Moenkopi formation, the Upper Member of the Dripping Spring quartzite, and the Organ Rock Tongue of the Cutler formation. Local rocks include rocks of the Chinle Formation.
