Locality type:
Köppen climate type:
Gold mine.
Gold-bearing quartz veins along the east–northeast-trending Barramiya–Um Salatit ophiolitic belt.
Native gold and gold–silver alloy occur as tiny grains along micro-fractures in the quartz veins. The bulk mineralization is, however, attributed to auriferous arsenopyrite and arsenic-bearing pyrite.
