Some 2800 tons of baryte were produced from Barlocco Mine, mainly from the more northerly of two approximately east-west subvertical veins. The principal vein is 0.5-2.1 m thick and occupies a fault breccia traceable for at least 300 m in altered Silurian shale. The high-quality white baryte remaining on the dumps is accompanied by calcite and traces of chalcopyrite, malachite and bornite.
