Sulphide rich quartz veins, lenses, pods and stringers in the silicified phyllite and sericitic quartzite beds (host rock) are the favourable ore sites. Maximum metal content in the ore samples is 1.72% Cu, 0.22% W, 200 ppm Mo, 900 ppm Bi, 550 ppm Ni, 40 ppm Sn, 48 ppm Ag, and up to 1 ppm Au (one sample up to 14 ppm?) and up to 2.4% arsenic. Ore reserve is calculated as 3.91 million metric ton ore with an average 0.25% Cu along with minor amount of W, Mo, Bi and traces of Ag and Au. Therefore, the Bamangaon prospect is a small tonnage, sub-economic polymetallic deposit.
