Exhalite
They were mined in 1916-1919 and produced 21,310 long tons with 25-30% Mn and 40-50% silica. The regional geology is shown as the Cretaceous Playa Venado Formation of basalts and pillow basalts. Mineralization occurs in five deposits over a distance of about 1,600m on a NNE-trending ridge near the mouth of the River Nabagana.
