Brownish slates near Tetagouche Falls contain many small vermicular and nodular masses of manganese oxides; they are occasionally accompanied by limonite and strings of quartz. The slates also contain isolated crystals of chalcocite and pyrite.
Further downstream, near Bathurst, manganite was mined from slate-hosted quartz-baryte veins and shipped to England. The manganite "is highly crystallized and affords very handsome and brilliant specimens, the crystals being sometimes as much as half an inch long, and grouped in fibrous, radiating and stellate forms." (Henwood, 1871)
