Predicting paragenetic modes of deposit

Green indicates almost certain match based on minerals unique to a certain deposit type. Yellow indicates a possibly poor match, but should not be entirely discounted. Scores > 100 indicate strong confidence.

Paragenetic Mode	Score
33 : Minerals deposited by hydrothermal metal-rich fluids (see also [#12]) Unique: Metacinnabar	100
35 : Ultra-alkali and agpaitic igneous rocks Unique: Ferri-winchite	100
