Pb-Zn-Ba-Ag ores occurring in the matrix of breccias and in veins/stockworks.

"Field evidence indicates that mineralisation was extensively reworked by debris flow events during formation. The mineral paragenetic sequence is consistent with a Pb-Zn-(Ag) massive sulphide system, and analogous to the early stages of a Kuroko-type deposit, but Triades lacks massive sulphide bodies" (Smith et al., 2018).

Mining activities at Triades-Galana probably date back to Roman times.
