I can't tell if I am looking at a lithic breccia or a crystal tuff.

Or both mixed.

They say it themselves when they state, "clastic or conglomerate sequences."

An autoclastic breccia/conglomerate perhaps. It would be possible to have an autoclastic brecciation of a sedimentary breccia that had conglomeritic parent rock. It is just a matter of starting with a stream worn pebble bed, lithifying it, making that into a breccia and reforming it heterolithically, and then creating fault transpression which introduces ore fluids.

At that point it become Fubarite, an ore host often found in highly active drilling areas.

The geologist here was quoted as saying, "Is this ever f----- weird, man, you ever see anything like this f----- stuff? -- crazy!".

This is an appropriate notation or field description of formations of this type. It can be shortened to "WFS". Or "Weird F...... S..."
