Comments on development

  • HOLE DY 22 -- ANOMALOUS GEOCHEMICAL VALUES FOR LEAD-ZINC IN MIOCENE CARBONATES ; ECON.COM: IN THE HOPE OF LOCATING A POSSIBLE CONTINUATION OF LEAD-ZINC MINERALIZATION, HOLE DY22 WAS SITED ONA RESISTIVITY ANOMALY THAT INDICATED THE POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF A BASEMENT HIGH. THE MIOCENE STRATA INTERSECTED ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF A TRANSITIONAL ZONE FROM LIMESTONE INTO AN EVAPORITIC SEQUENCE; THE SLIGHTLY ANOMALOUS LEAD AND ZINC VALUES ARE OF NO SIGNIFICANCE.

Subject category Comment text
Deposit STRATIFORM BARITE IN MARL (0.2 M THICK), AND GALENA AND ZINC OXIDES AS IMPREGNATIONS AND FISSURE FILLINGS IN BIOCLASTIC LIMESTONES OF MIOCENE AGE, ARE THE PRINCIPAL TUPES OF MINERALIZATION, WHICH IS OF LIMITED AREAL EXTENT. THIS AREA IS ISOLATED FROM THAT TO THE SOUTH (JABAL DHAYLAN 0334) BY A SERIES OF FAULTS.
