Manganese resources within the Artillery Mountains occur as two distinct types of deposits, stratiform and vein hosted mineralisation. In 2011, American Manganese Inc (now Recyclico) defined an Indicated and Inferred resource of 277mT @2.8% Mn.

The primary mineralizing event related to the Artillery Peak district has been identified as a detachment – fault – related mineral deposit. This model accommodates the structural settings and mineralization associated with the area between the Havurcar metamorphic core complex and the minor extensional area known as the Transitional Zone. A Manganiferous-bearing sandstone named the Chapin Wash Sandstone hosts mineralisation within a Tertiary-aged package of volcanic and sedimentary rocks named the Artillery Formation and is the primary target for Buxton.

Buxton aim to focus on the stratiform manganese mineralisation as it dips southwest from the Artillery deposit extending beneath the water table, presenting a potential target for in-situ leaching.
