Copper–silver ore.
Larosite is reported by Nigel et al. (2010) found in situ at the NNE wall of the open pit mine.
Copper–(silver) ore occurs within a main quartz-calcite vein and numerous smaller veinlets and deformed lenses. Mineralization occurs at or close to the contact to a N–S-trending body of amphibolite.
