A system of working in ore, etc
a 3-dimensional network of veins or veinlets
a mass of rock irregularly fractured along which mineralization has spread
A metalliferous deposit characterized by the impregnation of the mass of rock with many small veins or nests irregularly grouped
Such deposits are worked in floors or stories
This kind of deposit is especially common with tin ore
when it lies not in strata or veins, but in solid masses, so as to be worked in chambers or stories
A large number of small, closely spaced veins, often with many different orientations, is referred to as a stockwork and sometimes as a stringer zone
