Hurlbut (1957) says of the locality, "scattered pegmatites extending over a distance of two and one-half miles in a north-south direction....Development to date has shown this pegmatite to contain one of the world's great concentrations of lithium. Spodumene and amblygonite are both present but the chief lithium minerals are petalite and lepidolite, which are found in hundreds of thousands of tons. The southern half of this body is mined by Bikita Minerals, Ltd., with lepidolite the principal ore mineral. In the northern half George H. Nolan, Ltd., is mining mainly petalite."
The coordinates entered for this locality are based on this description and applied to the northern developed region, with the understanding that there remains some uncertainty.
