Deposit: Material on the shaft dump is white vein quartz with boxworks and clots of gossan along with massive jasper/gossan. ; info.src : 1 pub lit contact zone of fine-grained diorite dike with limestone. Diorite dike trends n30e. Limestone in area has irregular patches of bleaching and marble, and is laced with quartz veinlets & clots of crystalline calcite. Vein contains limonite and hematite filling in the boxwork.
Geology: Series of pits and adits are on quartz veins concentrated along the contact between a diorite and limestone. Weak epidote-pyroxene skarn occurs locally. The diorite is fine-to medium grained, and pervasively chloritized and pyritized (gone to Fe-oxide). Quartz vein material consists of vuggy c.g. Terminated quartz (comb quartz) and large amounts of green chlorite and limonitic Fe-oxide. The diorite-limestone contact exposed in shafts appears sheared. Quartz veins almost exclusively occur in the diorite and not in the limestone.
