100 feet and chlorite continuing beyond the pyrite. (Burgoyne, A.A, 1996). The main metallic minerals include pyrite, arse- nopyrite, chalcopyrite, electrum, native gold, marcasite, acan- thite (silver sulfide), proustite (silver arsenic sulfide), pearcite (silver arsenic sulfide), naumannite (silver selenide), native silver, sphalerite, aquilarite (silver selenium sulphide) and pyrostilpnite (silver antimony sulfide).
