| Deposit | 3 PARALLEL VEINS. ORE IS GENERALLY LOW GRADE; MOST OF PRODUCTION CAME FROM HIGH-GRADE SHOOTS. BECAUSE OF TECTONIC SETTING AND HOST ROCK TYPES, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE OVERLAPPING DEPOSIT TYPES IN THIS DEPOSIT, PARTICULARLY SILICA-CARBONATE HG, WHICH IS COMMON IN OPHIOLITIC TERRANES |
| Deposit | MRDS RECORD D001419 HAS BEEN MERGED WITH THIS RECORD AND DELETED |
