A manganese-oxide (-baryte) deposit.
Manganese was mined from 1886 to 1909 and from 1916 to 1928 producing 220,000 tons of Mn. Baryte veins are common in the main pits and also in many prospects and outcrops around the area. The mine covers ~1 km2 area and is a restricted to a Quaternary intravolcanic rift basin.

Reef limestone is hydrothermally mineralized by Mn-oxides and barite. Manganese occurs as thin layers, as cement of sandstone and as metasomatic replacement of the limestone, including abundant fossil shells.

Also occurring are banded iron-rich (hematite) sedimentary rocks containing substantial clastic materials (Sun et al., 2022).
