Deposit: The richest gravels are at the upper end of ravines where the gold is coarse. The gold is probably derived from mineralized shear zones in chert & shale of the vinini formation in the upper plate of the roberts thrust. During late tertiary time the gold was weathered from veins and concentrated in channels being dissected by present day stream. Operations are handicapped by lack of water, and have been confined mainly to the upper reaches of the channel ; info.src : 1 pub lit
