Sulphide in the main ore vein occurs in lenses 15.24
to 18.29 m in diameter and 15.24 to 60.96 cm thick. Up until
1905 the ore was hand-cobbed at the mine giving high grade ore
running 40% Sb. The ore was shipped to England. The low grade
ore containing good Au values comprised 90% of the total output
of the mine. It is reported that much of this material was left
on the scaffolds or as backfill in the mine. The ore is composed
primarily of stibnite with some native antimony, native gold,
arsenopyrite, pyrite, and minor silver. The stibnite, where
weathered, has oxidized to orange kermesite and white valentinite.
The pyrite and arsenopyrite occur as small crystals shot through
the slaty filling. In places, the pyrite carries considerable
native gold. The slaty filling is reported to assay 0.15 oz/ton
Au (Haley). The Au is also reported to show an affinity for
carbonate.
