| ore_ctrl: | There Are Three Principal Vein Systems, Which Are Persistent And Fairly Wide Fissure Fillings, Containing Sphalerite And Galena In A Gangue Of Rhodochrosite And Quartz. Wall Rock In The So-Called Main Vein Is Moderately Seriticized And Kaolinized. Post Mineral Faults Are Common. In The West Section Of This So-Called Main Vein, 187,500 Tons Of Ore Were Developed, Averaging 2.5% Lead, 2.4% Zinc, And 770 Grams Of Silver Per Ton (Simons, Frank, 1960) |
