| Deposit | At Jackpot, four major more or less overlapping ore trends have been identified at depths below 850 m. They are separated by about 90, 45, and 150 m barren intervals, i.e., they are distributed over a stratigraphic interval of 290 m. While a substantial part of these trends are stacked at Jackpot, in other areas ore trends are arranged en echelon or in a sloping pattern." [Dahlkmap, p. 185] |
