Mine location stops map

Stop	Location	Zone
Number	Stope (floor)	Number	Geologic Feature

1	12/14-SRR (190)	8	High grade pollucite core of the Pollucite Zone.
2	16-SNN/SPP (184)	5/8	Low Grade Pollucite: a mixture of Pollucite Zone and Upper Intermediate (Spodumene) Zone.
3	16-SNN/SPP (184)	5	Upper Intermediate Zone - Spodumene-Quartz lntergrowth (SQUI) after primary petalite .
4	11-SU (190)	5	An approximately 10 metre "Tancocrystic" K-feldspar crystal in the Upper Intermediate Zone.
5	9-SP/SQ (190)	5	A single petalite pseudomorph; also amblygonite, petalite and pollucite found in the area.
6	14-SM (190)	9	The Upper Southwest Zone Lepidolite Zone
7	7-H (330)	7 & 3	Typical Quartz Zone. Contact with the Saccharoidal Albite Zone can be observed. The only known location at Tanco where cleaveable quartz can be seen in situ.
8	10-H (330)	2	Typical Wall Zone displaying megacrystic K-feldspar crystals.
9	21-N (305)	6	Central Intermediate Zone: the lower portion of a tantalum zone (O-Zone) in close proximity to a Quartz Zone.
10			The "Lookout" A good view of room and pillar mining method.
11	12-N (330)	4	Banded aplite in the Lower Intermediate Zone in close proximity to the Central Intermediate Zone.
12	14-N (350)	2	"Hayward's Horse": A xenolith of host metagabbro (amphibolite) within Zone 20. Such xenoliths generally generate their own surrounding Wall Zone (Zone 20)
13	Refuge Room	4	Typical Lower Intermediate Zone showing diverse (1st Level Stn.) mineralogy (lithian muscovites, SQUI, cookeite,K-feldspars, Na-feldspar).
