Deposit | Model Name = Fracture fillings and disseminations of molybdenite in granitic rock. Deposit model 21b (?); porphyry Mo, low-F |
Deposit | Other Comments = Locality 6 (West Cape) of Cobb (1972) should be deleted (Cobb, 1980, p. 51) as the cited reference information (Anderson, 1947, p. 35-36) is for the Booshu Camp site and not West Cape. |
