Please note: the latitude/longitude coordinates given are for the operating open pit mine in the Ovoid part of the deposit.
Complex deposit :
- Eastern Deeps: disseminated and massive sulfides along the intersection of a feeder sheet and troctolite intrusion
- The Ovoid: massive sulfide lens underlain by a feeder sheet
- Discovery Hill zone: disseminated and massive sulfides in the troctolite feeder
- Reid Brook zone: intersection of a feeder sheet and a deep level intrusion.

Underground operations (Eastern Deeps and Reid Brook) commencing in 2021.
