Comments on the geologic information

  • MINERAL GANGUE CONSISTS OF SOIL MATRIX. SOIL MOSTLY KAOLINTE, QUARTZT AND CHERT.
  • ORE IS CONCENTRATED IN SOLUTION COLLAPSE BRECCIAS
  • DEPOSITIONAL.CHARACTER OF ORE: OCCURS AS POCKETS OF LIMONITE/HEMATITE IN THE RESIDUUM OR IN CAVITIES IN UNDERLYING ROCK. ORE IS IN RESIDUUM OVERLYING JEFFERSON CITY AND ROUBIDOUX FORMATIONS.
