Comments on the geologic information

  • FROM E/MJ 1989-90 ORES OCCUR IN LOW-GRADE IMPREGNATIONS CONSISTING OF PYRITE IN CHLORITE-SCHIST AND CHLORITE-QUARTZITE SCHIST. DEPOSIT IS SPLIT INTO TWO PARALLEL MINERALIZED ZONES, LYING ABOUT 130 M FROM EACH OTHER STRIKING EAST-WEST AND DIP VARIES 45 - 70 DEGS S. NORTHERN ZONE IS MADE UP OF 5 LENSES. TWO OF THESE (IN CENTRAL PART OF MINERALIZED ZONE CONSIST OF COPPER AND ZINC-BEARING PYRITE ORES WITH SMALL QUANTITIES OF GALENA AND SPHALERITE. THE OTHER 3 ARE PREDOMINANTLY PYRITIC. THE SOUTHERN ZONE IS RICH IN PYRITE WITH SOME CHALCOPYRITE.
