Deposit: Scheelite occurs in a sheared iron-stained zone along n20 deg-30 deg W fractures at contact of a meta-idabase and a thin-bedded grey limestone. White quartz veinlets with clots of green and smoky grey tourmaline cut diabase. Scheelite occurs in iron-stained contact zone, along some fractures and with tourmaline in some veins. In some areas, scheelite occurs in kaolinized meta-diorite along the contact zone.
