Major lode systems trend 135 degrees in a highly sheared and boudinaged sequence of feldspathic sandstone, siltstone and shale.
The lodes contain abundant pyrrhotite and Sn, Cu, As, Pb and Zn mineralisation.There is a metal zonation with an outer Pb + Zn zone |
grading inwards and at depth to Cu + As + W. Tin occurs in both zones although the best grades are in the outer zone. |
Wall rock alteration is common close to the mineralised fractures with silicification, sericitisation and propylitic all occurring. Some |
minor tourmalinisation has been noted. |
