Nov 21, 2014 (R Tuomi) - The deposit has been described by Ferguson (1965). The talcose rocks do not outcrop in many places. They are found mainly in the underground workings. The following description is taken from Ferguson (1965). An altered peridotite, called locally the South Austin -footwall talc-, is generally about 50 feet wide, but ranges from 30 to 200 feet. It cuts across the Austin and Main Austin sections. Farther northeast the same band of talc is at the base of the Austin tuff and then progresses stratigraphically lower across a basalt flow to the base of that flow. Microscopic work has indicated that this dyke is altered peridotite.
