There is only one known shaft. The maximum subsurface depth of the mine reaches 366 meters (1,200 feet). The ore extracted from the Austinville East Lead Zinc Mines mainly consisted of galena, anglesite, and hydrozincite. The waste material primarily comprised dolomite, anhydrite, and calcite.

Dolomite cation order in the geological record

Nevertheless, the efficiency of dissolution- (re)crystallisation as a mechanism of cation ordering in dolomites is affected by a number of factors. Probably, one of the most relevant is the Mg/Ca ratio of the precursor carbonates of dolomites. It is apparent that deviations from dolomite stoichiometry (Mg/Ca = 1) preclude complete cation order.

The geology of the Zawar lead-zinc mine, Rajasthan, India

The lead-zinc ores occur in a shear zone in Precambrian metasediments. The shear zone is later than the two recognized generations of folds, and contemporaneous with wall-rock alteration and subsequent mineralization. Flow directions of mineralizing solutions are deduced from the mineral zoning pattern; galena follows sphalerite paragenetically and …
