LATE CAMBRIAN to EARLY ORDOVICIAN
The Dry River South deposit, south-west of Balcooma, occurs as a blind deposit with two varieties of massive sulphide: lead-zinc and |
copper with the lead-zinc massive sulphide grading into the copper massive sulphide. |
The deposit forms a thin (1-10m) N-S trending, E dipping tabular body at the boundary between meta-greywacke and stratigraphically |
lower metavolcanics. Generally narrower and lower grade than the nearby Surveyor orebody. |
The Dry River South deposit is expected to be the main source of feed for the Mt Garnet plant after the Surveyor deposit is exhausted.
