Analytical data

Result ORE ASSAYED 8.4% MN, 0.24% W. SAMPLE 2348, A GRAB SAMPLE OF CHALCEDONIC AND CALCITE VEIN MATTER AND MN OXIDES, CONTAINS 20 % FE, 0.15 % MG, 20- % CA, 0.01 % TI, +5000 PPM MN, 1.5 PPM AG, 2000 PPM AS, 50 PP-M B, +5000 PPM BA, 10 PPM BE, 10 PPM CR, 30 PPM CU, 15 PPM MO,- 5 PPM NI, 50 PPM PB, 300 PPM SB, 30 PPM SN, 1000 PPM SR, 200 -PPM V. 50 PPM W. THE MN OXIDES CONTAIN CHEMICALLY COMBINED W A-ND THE HIGHEST GRADE MATERIAL CONTAINS 18.6 % MN AND 0.88 % WO-3. W CONTENT INCREASES WITH MN CONTENT, BUT THE DEPOSIT HAS NO-T BEEN MINED FOR EITHER METAL BECAUSE THE MATERIAL IS NOT AMEN-ABLE TO CONCENTRATION EXCEPT BY EXPENSIVE CHEMICAL PROCESSES.

  • General form TABULAR

Comments on the geologic information

  • MNMINERALS INTIMATELY ASSOCIATED WITH CALCITE, AND W THOUGHT TO BE CHEMICALLY COMBINED WITH THE MN OXIDES, MAKING RECOVERY OF BOTH METALS DIFFICULT. PROSPECT EXPLORES A CALCITE VEIN CONTAINING NARROW BANDS OF SLATE, SHALE, AND LIMESTONE IMPREGNATED WITH THE MN OXIDES. THE COMPOSITE VEIN CONSISTS OF BANDS OF GRAY TO PINKISH CHALCEDONY, BLACK (WITH A FEW WHITE BANDS) CALCITE, AND -ALTERED FAULT BRECCIA FRAGMENTS OF ARGILLITE. THE ARGILLITE FR-AGMENTS ARE SILICIFIED AND/OR KAOLINIZED. NUMEROUS QUARTZ-AFTE-R LAMELLAR-CALCITE AND SIMILAR REPLACEMENT TEXTURES IN THE CHA-LCEDONY SUGGEST SILICA REPLACEMENT OF CALCITE WITHIN THE VEIN.- CRUSTIFORM TEXTURES IN THE CHALCEDONIC MATTER ARE RARE. CRYST-ALS OF BLACK CALCITE UP TO SEVERAL CM IN DIAMETER OCCUR IN A M-ATRIX OF FINER CALCITE AND WHITE CHALCEDONY. THE HIGH-ANGLE (N-EAR-VERTICAL) NATURE OF THE CALCITE VEIN ZONE CAN BE SEEN JUST- N OF THE ROAD TO THE RADIO FACILITY, 0.5 KM N OF THE SAMPLED -LOCALITY.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit W-BEARING BLACK MN OXIDES OCCUR WITH BLACK CALCITE IN A CALCITE AND CHALCEDONIC SILICA VEIN WHICH MAY BE UP TO 15--20 M WIDE. THIS N-S TRENDING ZONE BOUNDS THE RANGEFRONT OUTCRO-PS AND IS PROBABLY A HIGH-ANGLE NORMAL FAULT ZONE WHERE REPEAT-ED OPENING UNDER EXTENSION WOULD ALLOW SUCH A WIDE FISSURE VEI-N. (SOME WHITE CALCITE BANDS WITHIN THE BLACK CALCITE, HOWEVER-, SUGGEST A 45 E DIP WHICH NOT BE A NORMAL FAULT)
