The most likely deposit type is either skarn/porphyry copper deposits, perhaps with surrounding polymetallic lead-zinc-silver replacement deposits or "distal disseminated" gold-silver deposits. The area (1) is structurally complex with both thrust and high-angle faults, (2) contains lithologic units favorable...

Previous studies demonstrated that Fasciclin II and Beaten path are necessary for regulating cell adhesion events that are important for motoneuron development in Drosophila. We observe that the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin II and the secreted anti-adhesion molecule Beaten path have additional critical roles in the development of at least one set of sensory organs, the larval visual organs....
