Comments on the geologic information

  • WULFENITE WAS FOUND IN ONE INSTANCE IN A LENS OR BLOCK 130 FT. LONG, 160 FT. HIGH, AND 10-30 FT. WIDE. THE DOLOMITE BRECCIA ZONE IS LENS-SHAPED, AS ARE THE ORE BODIES WITHIN THE BRECCIA.
  • HYDROZINCITE IS ANOTHER MAIN ZINC MINERAL. THERE IS SOME RADIOACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH LIMONITE.
