Alteration: Some Of Rocks Have Decomposed To Porous Friable Masses
Deposit: First open cut is in brecciated sandstone and chert, some of it a bluish green color. More weathered rocks contain zinc silicate: (i.e. Hemimorphite), unweathered has small but abundant sphalerite crystals
Geology: Similar geology is said to be present in the five other cuts.
Rock formation(s): Calciferous Series
