| Deposit | TWO DEPOSITS ARE DESCRIBED: WITHIN LIMESTONE BLOCK THE BARITE OCCURS AS DISSEMINATIONS AND VEINLETS ALONG FRACTURES ( 100 FT. X 60 FT. X 70 FT. ); WITHIN THE ANDESITE, TO THE NORTH OF THE LIMESTONE, BARITE OCCURS IN IRREGULAR, DISCONTINUOUS, PARALLEL VEINS 2 FEET WIDE, 250 FEET LONG. MINERALIZATION IS LARGELY IN FAULT CONTACT BETWEEN LIMESTONE AND ANDESITE. |
