Deposit FLUORSPAR IS SPOTTY AND DISCONTINUOUS FOR 600 FT ALONG A NW TRENDING VERTICAL BRECCIATED FAULT. AT THE WORKINGS FLUORSPAR OCCURS IN A VEIN THAT RANGES FROM 2 TO 4 FT IN WIDTH OVER A DISTANCE OF 250 FT. THE ORE MINERAL IS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH QUARTZ. IT INCREASES IN CAF2 CONTENT WITH DECREASING VEIN WIDTHS.
