Mineralization Comments

Feb 27, 2017 (A Wilson) - Use of marl from this location was apparently short-lived as the workings are shallow and not extensive. An analysis of the marl was made by Gillespie. The composition of the marl is 84.91% CaCO3; 2.89% MgCO3; 2.00% SiO2; 0.84% Al2O3; 0.50% Fe2O3 and 1.21% SO3.
