| Deposit | THE MASSIVE MN-OXIDE MINERALS OCCUR IN A ZONE UP TO 8 M THICK. THE NORTH (FOOTWALL) SIDE IS A QUARTZ-RICH ROCK THAT RESEMBLES QUARTZITE (RECRYSTALLIZED). THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ZONE IS MAINLY GRANODIORITE PORPHYRY, BUT A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE QUARTZ-RICH ROCK IS PRESENT ALSO. THE ATTITUDE OF THE FOOTWALL CONTACT IS N 45 W, 75 SW. THE MANGANESE ZONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LATERALLY EXTENSIVE; POSSIBLY IT IS CUT OUT BY FAULTS OR DIKES. |
