The tungsten deposits of Vance County, NC, and Mecklenburg County, VA, lie in a northeast-trending belt about 8 miles long and a mile wide. All the veins described in this report are located south of the Roanoke River, and the majority of them are in the northwest corner of Vance County. A few veins have been reported from north of the river. Townsville, the nearest village, is on North Carolina Highway 39, 3 1/2 miles southeast of the center of the tungsten district.
