The Sir James Pit was operated for the mining of siderite, an iron carbonate ore. The siderite ore was originally deposited on the seafloor ~2.75 Ga as the result of seafloor hydrothermal venting in the Archean oceans. The dark outcrop seen here at the lip of the pit is thought to represent the primary vent from whic...
