| All evaporite deposits result from the precipitation of brines generated by evaporation. |
| The key to understanding the mechanism lies in the analysis of the geological and hydrological framework of the basin, coupled with the timing of evaporite dissolution. |
| Because most evaporite bodies in the Province are deeply buried, a suitable drilling program must follow geophysical exploration. |
| Typically, evaporite deposits occur in closed marine basins where evaporation exceeds inflow. |
| Among the borates commonly found in evaporite deposits are borax, colemanite, inyoite, kernite, and tincalconite. |
| Subordinate rocks include thin units of dolomite, evaporite, Varangerian tillite and Precambrian crystalline rocks. |
