Ore body information

  • Strike NS
    Dip 15 W

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Shear Zone

Comments on the geologic information

  • SHEAR ZONE CUTS ACROSS THE DOLOMITE BEDDING AT DEPTH. ORIGINAL ORE WAS PROBABLY DOLOMITE BRECCIA SILICIFIED, WITH VEINS AND LENSES OF CHALCOPYRITE AND COBALT SULFIDE - BUT NO POSITIVE CONCLUSION CAN BE SAID, ORE IS COMPLETELY OXIDIZED. THE DOLOMITE IN & NEAR THE SHEAR ZONE CONTAINS COBALT OXIDE.
