An U occurrence/group of claims located about 8 miles East of the road from Kingman to Wikieup and 50 miles SE of Kingman, near the West-facing escarpment of the Aquarius Cliffs. This locality is not listed in the USGS MRDS database.
The claims extend along a small valley sharply incised into the Aquarius Cliffs escarpment. The East wall of the valley have exposed, tilted strata of sandstone, shale, and limestone that overlie Precambrian granite on the West and are faulted against it on the East. On the West wall of the valley are exposed flat-lying arkosic grit and conglomerate strata, which are unconformable on steeply dipping strata beneath. The uranium deposits occur on the East side of the small valley in a thinly laminated and poorly consolidated limestone unit, 20 to 30 feet thick, which strikes N. 20º-30ºW. and dips 25º-30ºNE.
