The deposit | The site is on the margin of a major regional change in geology, from the rock sequences of the Curnamona Craton and Willyama Inlier (pre-Cambrian basement rocks of granite, gneiss and schist, plus pegmatite) in the north, and the Adelaide Geosyncline to the south.The geology of the area is considered to be closely related to that of the Broken Hill region, and the Curnamona Craton is considered to be a potential host of Broken Hill style and Olympic Dam style mineralisation. |
