Abstract: The Mel deposit consists of a concordant, folded lens of barite and coarse recrystallized galena and sphalerite at the contact between Cambro-Ordovician limestone and shaly limestone. Based on diamond drilling since 1972, the deposit contains geological reserves of 6,200,000 tons grading 6.77% Zn, 1.92% Pb and 49.6% barite to a depth of 457 m. The mineralization is open to depth and the higher grade part of the deposit lies below 305 m.
