Conclusion Roberts' mechanism of ore genesis in this paper is plausible and is worthy of consideration. It could well apply to situations such as the Missouri-type deposits, although Gerdemann and Myers (1972) might disagree. One cannot deny that dolomitization and diagenetic processes have occurred at Woodcutters, but in view of the folding and the time-relationships exhibited by the rocks, it would appear that these are not the ultimate ore-forming processes. It is possible that the mechanism of ore genesis proposed by Roberts might apply more fully to the Bulman deposits east of Woodcutters (Patterson, 1965) where the resemblance to a Missouritype situation is stronger.
