Deposit SCHEELITE OCCURS IN A SHEARED IRON-STAINED ZONE ALONG N20 DEG-30 DEG W FRACTURES AT CONTACT OF A META-IDABASE AND A THIN-BEDDED GREY LIMESTONE. WHITE QUARTZ VEINLETS WITH CLOTS OF GREEN AND SMOKY GREY TOURMALINE CUT DIABASE. SCHEELITE OCCURS IN IRON-STAINED CONTACT ZONE, ALONG SOME FRACTURES AND WITH TOURMALINE IN SOME VEINS. IN SOME AREAS, SCHEELITE OCCURS IN KAOLINIZED META-DIORITE ALONG THE CONTACT ZONE.
