Approximately 15 old adits with assorted copper and uranium associated mineralization. Excavations for copper minerals took place from the mid-1800s-early 1900s. Excavations for uranium minerals took place in the 1950s. The adits surround Beaver Lake in northern Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, USA.
For a very detailed review of all the copper and uranium occurrences in this area, and images of specimens, see the Smith and Hoff book noted in the references.
