It is located in the central part of the Teller Quadrangle, about 25 miles (40 km) east of Cape Prince of Wales.

[4][5] The mountain is located about 11 miles (18 km) north of the mouth of Lost River and is approachable by a road starting from the beach.

These are sedimentary formations which are interspersed with many dykes of granite and rhyolite, generally oriented in an east and west strike.

[4] Radiometric survey and mineralogical studies have been carried out since 1950, which has assessed that the mountain formation contains high-grade uranium.

Uranium was found mainly in the form of zeunerite at three locations though other rock types showed a certain degree of radioactivity.
