The molybdenite mineralization is hosted in an 800 m long skarn zone composed of clinopyroxene, crystalline limestone (marble), limestone (skarn) and dolomite. Widths of skarn with MoS2 are up to 80 m wide and extend 500 m to depth. Molybdenite occurs as "veins" in fractures within the skarn and can become intensely clustered where molybdenite is greater than 20% in confined areas of 1m-2m widths. Molybdenite occurs as disseminated flakes throughout the skarn and is common in "banded" skarn.
