Economic information

Controls for ore emplacement

  • The Ore Body Occurs In Lenses In A Shear Zone (Data From U.S.G.S. Mrds, 1990). Manganese Deposits Of The Region Are Associated Woth Spilites (Park, 1942, P. 331-312) And Commonly Are Found With Reddish Pelagic Limestone Interbedded With The Basalt. Manganese Mineralization May Be Either Disseminated In Replacement Bodies Or Volcanogenic Exhalative/Diagenetic Bodies (Sorem And Gunn, 1967).
