Greisen zone carrying wolframite and gahnite (both common) and cassiterite (rare).

The occurrence of placer tin caused New Zealand's only known tin-rush. The mineralisation is bound to a greisenised granodiorite and metasedimentary rocks on the crest of the Tin Range. There are three mineralised lithologies: a sericite-quartz greisen, a quartz-topaz greisen, and a gahnite-schist greisen.
