Within the oxidized zones, the primary sulfide minerals were commonly converted to limonite, pyrolusite, cerussite, anglesite, argentojarosite and plumbojarosite (basic sulfates of Fe), and native silver, with traces of malachite and azurite. Examination and sampling of the Esmeralda Lead Manto stopes has revealed that the host rock for the cerussite mineralization is a high iron oxide rock containing oxide zinc mineralization similar to the Iron Oxide Manto and that the stope back-fill contains oxide zinc mineralization. |
