The deposit is a vein type in rhyolitic tuff of the Carboniferous Saint James Volcanics. Uranium-molybdenum mineralisation is in a |
|
complex system of steeply dipping veins and fractures associated with a wide shear zone. |
|
Mineralised veins are closely associated with silicic and hematitic alteration. The system is mineralised over more than 500m length, to |
|
150m width and 100m depth. |
