Lithology Comments

Jan 04, 2012 (A Wilson) - The marble contains small inclusions of metabasite and granite, and late granitic pegmatite. Large inclusions are limited to the west edge of the ridge and to the southern end, particularly south of the road. Most inclusions are in the range of tens of centimetres to a few metres in size. The marble rarely appears to have more than 5% mineral impurities.




Mineralization Comments

Jan 04, 2012 (A Wilson) - C. Marmont made a visual estimation of the tonnage available at the site. He estimates approximately 100,000 tonnes per vertical metre of calcitic marble grading 94% CaCO3.
