| Deposit | THE TYPE OF DEPOSIT IS UNKNOWN. OTHER DEPOSITS IN THE DISTRICT INCLUDE PORPHYRY COPPERS AND POLYMETALLIC VEINS. IT WOULD BE UNUSUAL TO FIND PT IN A POLYMETALLIC VEIN BUT ALSO UNUSUAL TO FIND PB IN A MAGMATIC SEGREGATION DEPOSIT. POSSIBLY THERE WERE TWO STAGES OF MINERALIZATION, PT DEPOSITED WITH THE ULTRAMAFIC HOST ROCKS AND A LATER OVERPRINT OF THE AG, PB, AU MINERALIZATION |
