Deposit THE DEPOSIT IS A TABULAR BODY LYING BETWEEN BASALT AND TUFF. IT IS EXPOSED IN THE CANYON WALL OVER A SLOPE DISTANCE OF 350 FEET, AVERAGES ABOUT 1 FOOT IN WIDTH, AND STRIKES NORTH-SOUTH WITH AN ALMOST VERTICAL DIP. A FAULT CAUSES A 20-FOOT HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT IN THE ORE BODY AND BREAKS ITS CONTINUITY NEAR THE CENTER. THE PRINCIPAL MANGANESE MINERALS ARE SILICATES, WITH BEMENTITE PREDOMINATING. TWELVE SAMPLES, WITH AN AVERAGE WIDTH OF 0.9 FOOT, HAD A WEIGHTED ASSAY OF 23.5 PERCENT MN, 6.0 PERCENT FE, AND 31.8 PERCENT INSOLUBLE
