The deposit has been investigated for its garnet potential by Minerals Corporation Ltd and it was found that production of clean garnet |
concentrate was technically feasible but at a high cost. |
The lode consists of at least 4 en-echelon lenses; each lens is characterised by mineralogical and textural layering parallel to the wallrock.
