Deposit: UNPUBLISHED MODEL NAME: NEW RAMBLER CU-AU-PGE. Hausel, 1989, p. 128: "Several exploratory shafts were sunk in shear-zone cataclastics and strongly sheared metagabbro and metadiorite. Traces of copper, pyrite, hematite, and limonite and gold-bearing tetrahedrite were detected in the cataclastics."
