| According to Wulff (2010), the copper-sulphides include chalcopyrite, bornite and possibly chalcosite, which all occur as dissemination in felsic gneiss, in dolerite (or its altered equivalents) and in quartz-veinlets. Pyrite is common too, and malachite-staining is widespread. The total thickness of copper-mineralization is about 7 m at the stope, but much of these 7 meters are barren. Alteration includes silicification, chloritization, amfiolitization, biotization and carbonization and probably more as the mineralization is rather heterogenous. Much of the mineralization is sub-horizontal and strike and dip varies much. The richest of Wullfs samples has 26.5 ppm gold, 233 ppm silver and 6.2% copper, while other samles have only little gold (0.23-0.9 ppm), less silver (25-52 ppm), but are richer in zinc. |
