Wolframite/ Hubnerite

Total wt% 49.0 / 19.0 (68.0)Liberated 51% Locked with Scheelite 44 %

Scheelite + Quartz 3 %Fluorite tracePyrite trace

Grain SizeLiberated 600 m - 2.2 mm

Locked > 200 m - approx. 2 mm Description The ratio of wolframite to hubnerite is approximately 2:1. They both occur

as fragments of coarse prismatic crystals, individual crystals range from 600 m - > 2 mm. The average grain size of locked wolframite is approximately 600 m. Wolframite and hubernite show evidence of alteration to scheelite along cleavage planes, creating complex composite grains of wolframite/hubnerite and scheelite +/- quartz. The average size of locked scheelite in wolframite/hubnerite is 350 m. Wolframite/hubnerite is also locked with coarsely crystalline quartz. Locks are typically sharp single boundary locks.

Quartz 5 % Pyrite 1 %Fluorite trace

Grain SizeLiberated < 600 m - approx. 1.5 mm

Locked < 80 m - approx. 1 mm Description Coarsely crystalline single crystal fragments, and multiple locks and

intergrowths with wolframite/hubnerite. The average size of scheelite locked with wolframite is 350 m. Locks are predominately multiple inclusions along cleavage planes in the wolframite/hubnerite.

Pyrite Total wt% 5.4Grain Size 100 m - > 2 mm
