Deposit: Mineralization is northern extension of hi grade fluorspar d property updated oct 1987. The average dimensions apply to the q1=c1r2 matrix.
Geology: D drifts. A 8.5-m high bylium also found in ore, with uranium quantities locally high enough to create crystal structure damage in the fluorite.
