Structure: Normal Faults, Most Beds Are Highly Contorted And Faulted Into Wide Range Of Attitudes
Deposit: The introsive has been extensively brecciated with stockwork veining, cossau and boxwork; and abundant psilomelane coating the surfaces. There is evidence of at least 3 stages of brecciation and subsequent veining. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 3 field observ
Development: 400-500 tpd tungsten-processing plant was in operation in 1972 most of the old workings have been destroyed in the past 5 years, due to exploration (1982).
Geology: The beds are cut by highly fractured, sulfide bearing, vertical calcite and quartz veins with secondary malachite coatings on fracture surfaces.
