Subject category Comment text
Deposit THERE IS VERY LITTLE DATA AVAILABLE RELATING SPECIFICALLY TO THE BELGRAVIA; NO DATA IS AVAILABLE ON RESOURCES. THE ORE BODY IS APPARENTLY WITHIN THE BLACK ROCK THRUST KNAPPE, AND THUS COMPLEXELY FOLDED. THE ONLY DATA INDICATES THAT THE MINE OPERATES ON A SMALL SCALE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEARBY GLORIA AND NCHWANING, AND IS ACCESSED BY TWO SHAFTS AND AN INCLINE. IT IS ASSUMED TO BE OPERATING ON RESOURCES ASSIGNED TO THESE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS PRODUCED AT BELGRAVIA.
