Quoting from the type description of kinoite:
"The type locality is on claims held under an agreement between the Anaconda Company and the Banner Mining Company, situated on the east side of the northern Santa Rita Mountains between the old mining camps of Helvetia, to the northwest, and Rosemont, to the southeast."
"The core containing the new mineral [kinoite] is from a diamond drill hole which penetrated contact metamorphosed sedimentary rocks consisting principally of limestones and dolomites corresponding to a Paleozoic series exposed at the surface. In the limited vertical extent of core examined the rock is skarn composed of diopside, garnet, calcite, and quartz. The rock is strongly brecciated and was transected by at least one fault whose gouge consists of calcite, fine diopside, and an aluminous 15Å expanding layer smectite".
