Hi Chris, Check the literature surrounding the Macraes shear zone and mine in Otago, New Zealand, I think it may be a good eample of what you are looking for. Dave Craw and Doug Mackenzie have published a bounty of papers on this and other deposits of a similar but smaller-scale nature from around Otago. Hope this helps.
