| Deposit | WORKINGS EXPLORE AN EXPOSED RIB OF HEAVILY FE-STAINED JASPER/JASPEROID FILLING FISSURES BETWEEN BEDDING PLANES IN CARBONATE. OTHER STRINGERS AND VEINLETS OF JASPER/JASPEROID WERE OBSERVED PARALLELLING BEDDING WEST OF THE MAIN RIB. APPEARS TO BE JASPER INFILLING BEDDING PLANE FAULTS RATHER THAN A RIB OF JASPEROID. CARBONATES CARRY PODS OF CRYSTALLINE CALCITE, AND PARALLELLING THE BEDS ARE SACLHROIDAL CALCITE VEINLETS CARRYING OXIDIZED GRAINS OF FE-STAINED SILICA. THE MAIN RIB OF JASPER IS MASSIVE TO BRECCIATED, HEAVILY FE-OX STAINED. THE BRECCIATED JASPER IS CEMENTED BY CHALCEDONIC SILICA, WHITE TO DARK BLUE, AND CARRIES A VERY FINE-GRAINED GREY METALLIC MINERAL. CUTTING THE JASPER ARE YELLOWISH-BROWN SILICEOUS VEINLETS. PALE GREEN SURFACE COATINGS (MALACHITE?) OCCUR ON EXPOSED SURFACES. VERY MINOR MNOZ SPOTS SURFACES. NORTH OF THE SAMPLE SITE, RHYOLITIC VOLCANICS OUTCROP, STRONGLY BLEACHED, ARGILLICALLY ALTERED. |
