Old lead/zinc mine having produced several transparent gypsum crystals to 30 cm long. The mine shafts are now filled and the majority of mine dumps removed.
A fault fissure in Grenville Marble is occupied by a 5 foot galena-calcite vein. There are two veins, the main vein and the north vein (located 500 meters north west of the main vein. The Kingdon main vein occurs along a fault and at a fault junction, in Precambrian marble and amphibolite. Slickensides are common, the plunge varying from 65 degrees northwest to vertical. The vein strikes generally 115 degrees and dips steeply. It is relatively straight and thick where the wallrock is marble, but the srike is more variable and the thickness is less (in places, several thinner veins occur) where the wallrock is amphibolite. The vein is up to 3 meters thick, and has an average thickness of 1.5 meters. Galena occurs in disseminated grains and clusters, and is commonly concentrated in bands up to 75 cm thick parallel to the vein contacts. Sphalerite is concentrated in bands along the vein margins. The Kingdon north vein, trenched along a length of 8 metres, strikes 145 degrees and is 75 cm thick. It occurs along a fault which separates Precambrian marble and amphibolite (to the north east) and the Oxford Formation (to the south west).
