| Deposit | THE PEGMATITE IS FROM 5 TO 40 FT. WIDE THIS PEGMATITE CONSISTS OF A DISCONTINUOUS GRAPHIC GRANITE Z DISCONTINUOUS WALL ZONE AND A CORE. ACCORDING TO CAMERON, 19 CONSIDERABLE AMTS. OF POTASH FELDSPAR COULD BE MINED FROM TH THIS DEPOSIT WAS MINED FOR FELDSPAR + MICA WAS A BYPRODUCT. DTHER MINERALS SUCH AS CASSITERITE,COLUMBITE ETC ARE BELEIVE CONTAINED ONLY IN SMALL QUANTITIES AND WOULD HAVE TO BE OBTA BYPRODUCTS OF FELDSPAR OR MICA MINING. REC/080 COLS 72-75 TWELVE METERS IS THE MAXIMUM THICKNESS. DATE OF COMMENTS 1975. |
