(2004)	10.1016/j.crte.2004.06.009	CRG336_1255	The age for this deposit was derived from the age of mineralization the nearby Bourg-d’Oisans area ~ 5km south of Allemont (Allemond). Specifically the age of hydrothermal mineralization at La Gardette. There is no scientific liturature on the Les Chalanches Mine in Allemont, or on mineralization in the Allemont. So, the age of the deposit at La Gardette ~ 5km south of Allemont will be used. 39-36 Ma. The mercury at Allemont is associated with silver.
