THIS RECORD ALSO CONTAINS DATA FROM DUPLICATE RECORD D000310 OF ROBERT KING WHICH HAS BEEN DELETED FROM MRDS. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT |
| Deposit | ANOTHER OREBODY WAS 800 BY 200-400 BY 15-40 FT, PERPENDICULAR TO BEDDING, LOCALIZED ALONG AXIS OF SHALLOW ANTICLINE TRENDING N10W. THE CLEAREST ASSOCIATION OF ORE WITH A FOLD IS WHERE THE MAIN MANTO ORE BODY LIES ALONG AN ANTICLINAL FLEXURE BETWEEN THE 700 AND 1300 LEVELS. THE MAIN MANTO FOLD DIES OUT A SHORT DISTANCE ABOVE THE 700 LEVEL BUT THE ORE BODY CONTINUES WITH THE SAME TREND ALMOST TO THE SURFACE. |
