| Deposit | MINERALIZED AREA COVERS ABOUT HALF A SQUARE MILE. GOLD ASSOCIATED WITH PYRITE AND MINOR SPHALERITE, OCCURS IN ELONGATED LENTICULAR QUARTZ BODIES ALONG THE MARGINS OF DIKES. |
| Deposit | GOLD MINING WAS CARRIED ON ALONG EDGES OF DIKES IN LATE 1920'S AND EARLY 1930'S. SPORADIC PROSPECTING AND DEVELOPMENT WORK FOLLOWING THIS PERIOD REVEALED THE TITANIFEROUS DIKES OR SILLS. THE TIO2 CONTENT OF ALBITIC DIKES AND/OR OTHER BODIES VARIED FROM LESS THAN 1 TO MORE THAN 40%, WITH THE AVERAGE CONTENT OF TIO2 IN ALL ALBITIC ROCKS EQUALLING 0.75%. A FEW GRAB SAMPLES OF THE ALBITIC MASSES RANGED FROM 2.0 TO 3.5% TIO2. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
