The Upper Battle Creek tin resource held by Tin Australia N.L. covers an area of 311 hectares and the moderately deep eluvial deposit |
|
has been the target of evaluation since its discovery. Some 140 holes have been drilled in the area since 1938. |
|
Hard rock mineralisation is confined to a down-faulted block, with the Battle Creek fault zone bound to the north and east by granite, and |
|
to the west and south by the Chillagoe Formation sediments. |
