Three subparallel, stibnite-mineralised zones strike northwest and dip steeply northeast at Buchans prospect, west of Carricktown. Stibnite-rich zones range from a few centimetres up to 1.2 m wide, and contain hydrothermal breccia with a cement of fine-grained quartz and medium-coarse-grained (up to 3 cm) stibnite. Surficial oxidation has produced abundant white, cream, and orange Sb oxide phases, as well as goethite. Breccia clasts are largely altered host schist, with the latter adjacent to the lodes being extensively fractured and locally silicified. Hydrothermal quartz cement strongly resembles the fine-grained quartz in the high-angle gold-bearing breccia lodes described above. Stibnite veins display local postmineralisation shearing, resulting in polished surfaces.
