San Manuel orebody, San Manuel Mine (Apex Lead & Vanadium Mining Corp Mine; Quarelli group), San Manuel, San Manuel District, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA

StandardDetailedBy ChemistrySearch Google

This is the upper segment of the original monolithic San Manuel orebody. The present San Manuel orebody outcrops and contains an oxidized zone, while the Kalamazoo orebody (downfaulted segment) now tops out about 2,600 feet below surface.
