[10] The lead-zinc ore occurs in Middle to Upper Triassic carbonate rocks deposited in an anoxic supratidal marine environment,[11] similar to other Mississippi Valley-type lead-zinc ores.

[12] In addition to the ore, several rare minerals were discovered underground in the mountain, such as wulfenite and calcite.
