Two distinct types of sulphide deposits have been recognized. One is syngenetic with the host quartzite, and may thus also have formed elsewhere at various positions within it. The other type of occurrence was deposited below the water table from cupriferous groundwater. The oxidized copper mineralization varies from that formed from in-situ oxidation of copper sulphides, together with dispersal of copper into adjoining sediments, to that formed from cupriferous groundwater which had migrated away from the source of the copper.
