| Basis for focus area |
MRDS dep_ids: 10267346 (Levant prospect), 10169844 (Carmel antimony prospect). Occurrences in the Vassalboro Formation. Selected the two points in MRDS and created a buffer. See Hussey and others (1958) and Morrill and Hinckley (1959). |

| Comments |
Carmel deposit is a quartz vein that strikes north-northeast, dips vertical (Hussey and others, 1958). Geological setting is similar to that of world's largest Sb deposit at Xikuangshan, South China (Seal and others, 2017; Zhang and others, 2019). |
| Cover thickness and description |
Variable limited cover and glacial cover estimated at less than 2-50 m. |
