| Deposit | DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF DISSEMINATED GRAINS OF GALENA, SPHALERITE, PYRITE, AND MANGANESE MINERALS REPLACING GREENISH ARGILLITE. REPLACEMENT LOCALLY RESULTED IN MASSIVE PODS OF ORE CONSISTING OF BLEBS OF GALENA AND SPHALERITE IN A RHODONITE MATRIX. INACCESSIBILITY OF WORKINGS PREVENTED DETERMINATION OF FORM OF DEPOSIT. MINERALIZING SOLUTIONS PRESUMABLY WERE INTRODUCED ALONG FRACTURES, HOWEVER NO MAJOR FAULTS WERE MAPPED NEAR THE DEPOSIT. CONTROLLING FRACTURES PROBABLY STRIKE NW. THIS DEPOSIT IS PROBABLY A VARIETY OF THE POLYMETALLIC VEIN AND REPLACEMENT DEPOSIT-TYPE (TINTIC DISTRICT-TYPE) |
