The thickness of the productive area varies from 20 to 30 m with 2 to 3 sulfur – bearing levels being outlined inside the succession. The shape of native sulfur bodies is determined by the shape of the cavities in the area; pockets, nests and lenses predominate. The thickness of the ore body fluctuates from a few inches to 2 – 3 meters and the quality from 2 – 3 % to 50 – 51 % S.
