Primary:	Iron
Ore:	Chalcopyrite, Magnetite, Pyrite
Gangue:	Calcite, Garnet, Quartz

Production

Operation type:	Unknown
Development status:	Occurrence

Geology

Host type:	Marble
Alteration processes:	Calc-rocks have been altered to tactite composed mainly of calcite, garnet, hornblende, pyroxene and quartz. Propylitic alteration of alaskite has introduced actinolite, calcite, chlorite, and epidote. Actinolite and chlorite, with plagioclase, have also formed in the alteration of the andesite dikes.
