Cassiterite and minor amounts of wolframite are concentrated in three layers: at the surface in recent alluvium; at 7 m depth in cemented |
wash which is believed to be an ancient weathering surface and; and at 16 m at the base of the alluvial profile. |
Tin and tungsten are shedding from the western slopes of Mount Lewis, where the Mount Carbine granite contains numerous quartz and |
quartz greisen veinlets. |
