Tin is found both in massive and stratified rocks. Lode mining has been extended 

 from Herberton as a center westward to Watsonville, Irvinebank, Eureka Creek and 

 Koorboora, southwest to Coolgarra, Glenlinedale and California Creek. Alluvial ore 

 occurs from Herberton to the Tate River and Fossilbrook, a distance of 80 miles. In 

 the neighborhood of Herberton, the tin bearing rock is mostly porphyry at the out- 

 crop, but of a granitoid structure in depth; hornblende is in places a constituent. 

 Quotes R. L. Jack in describing tin bearing veins as metamorphosed dikes, probably 

 originally diorite, now mainly of quartzose chlorite and quartzose serpentine. In depth 

 veins develop more quartz. Ore is cassiterite, mostly in lenticular deposits, reaching 

 a length of 40 and 50 feet, and in depth from a few inches to several hundred feet, 

 yield ranges from 5 to 40 per cent oxide. Wolframite, fluorspar, galena and molyb- 

 denite occasionally accompany the tin. Alluvial tin is derived from open gullies and 

 gravels now covered by lava. Ilmenite and gem stones sometimes accompany ore.
