| Deposit | FLUORSPAR OCCURS IN QUARTZ-RICH EN ECHELON VEINS. MAIN VEIN IS POD-SHAPED ON THE WEST SIDE OF AN OUTCROP OF ALTERED LITHIC-RICH VOLCANIC BRECCIA. LOCALLY THE BRECCIA FORMS VERY STEEP OUTCROPS AND RIDGES OF HIGHLY SILICIFIED MATERIAL. SAMPLE 1771 WAS SELECTED FROM THE PILE STACKED NEXT TO THE OUTCROP AS WELL AS FROM THE OUTCROP ITSELF; IT DID NOT CONTAIN DETECTABLE GOLD. |
