| Deposit | THE REDSKIN STOCK IS ZONED, WITH NEARLY ALL OF THE BERYLLIUM DEPOSITS OCCURRING IN THE GRANITE-APLITE OR PORPHYRITIC GRANITE FACIES OF THE GREISENIZED REDSKIN GRANITE. EVEN THOSE DEPOSITS NOT ACTUALLY IN THE REDSKIN GRANITE ARE SPATIALLY AND GENETICALLY RELATED TO IT. THE REDSKIN DEPOSIT ORE HERE OCCURS AS SMALL PODS LOCALIZED BY STEEPLY DIPPING FRACTURES WITHIN PORTION OF THE PIPE PLUNGING N 60 E. TWO OTHER PIPES CLUSTERED NEARBY TO FORM MINE AREA |
