The past producing Walton Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Ba Deposit is located
approximately 4 km southwest of the village of Walton, Hants
County. The abandoned workings can be accessed by a secondary
road leading off the main highway that leads from Walton to
Windsor.

The principal metallic minerals within the orebody are
galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, malachite, auzurite,
chalcocite, marcasite, tennantite, prousite, pearceite and acanthite.
Pyrite and marcasite are closely associated and occur as dull,
metallic, brass-yellow, fine grained intergrowths of a colloform
or concretionary texture. the galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite
and other sulphides are closely associated with the pyrite and
marcasite and, in most cases, are intergrown with them. Stalactitic
and botryoidal masses of pyrite and marcasite fill late fractures
in the sulphide body. Galena occurs as fine grained masses,
in brecciated pods, fracture- and seam-fillings and as fine
disseminations. Sphalerite is light to dark brown and is almost
always intergrown with galena. Chalcopyrite occurs as pure blebs,
masses, stringers and irregular patches. Tennanite is lead grey
and commonly intergrown with chalcopyrite, also occurring as
irregular masses and small discontinuous seams. The high silver-bearing
sulphosalts prousite and pearceite occur as disseminated grains
and small masses within vugs and crushed breccia zones. Malachite
and auzurite are rare and usually occur as coatings on other
sulphide minerals.

The Mine Road leads south from the Meat Cove-Lowland
Cove Road, approximately 3.2 km west of the village of Meat
Cove (200 m west of the juncture of the road with French Brook).
The Northwest Zone is exposed along a brook valley, a short
distance west of the Mine Road, approximately 600 m south of
the juncture of the Mine Road with the Meat Cove-Lowland Cove
Road. Coordinates 2: Adit Zone The adit is located along the
Mine Road, approximately 500 m southeast of the Northwest Zone.
It was driven on a steep east dipping slope, along the south
side of a tributary of French Brook. The discovery outcrop is
located along this tributary, approximately 70 m northeast of
the adit portal. Coordinates 3: South Trench Zone Two large
trenches are found on top of the hill, approximately 200-300
m south of the Adit Portal.

The Meat Cove Deposit is primarily a Zn deposit in which
sphalerite is the dominant sulphide mineral. The sphalerite
occurs as coarse grained massive crystalline aggregates, as
disseminations, as bands and as veins. Chatterjee (1979) reported
that sphalerite commonly replaces brucite, antigorite and pyrite.
He also noted that the most significant Zn-mineralization occurs
as a replacement of forsterite bearing units within the magnesian
alteration zone. Other minerals reported to occur within the
deposit include pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, galena, graphite,
fluorite, arsenopyrite, stannite, germanite and renierite. Pyrite,
which is the second most common sulphide mineral, occurs as
independent crystals and aggregate masses.
