Overview

Massive, stockwork, 0.15 km thickness. Stockwork ore exposed at the surface, massive ore 50 m below surface. Orebody extends 2700 m E-W strike, 30-200 m horizontal thickness, surface to 550 m depth. Overturned beds. Multiple ductile-brittle shears (south-verging imbrications, sinistral transverse strike slip-faults) resulted in offsets and repeats of the ore horizon.
