Stratabound iron and copper sulphides occur within high grade gneisses within the Einasleigh Metamorphics.
The orebodies are composed of quartz-biotite-garnet-feldspar-barite gneiss containing pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, minor pyrite, |
sphalerite and traces of molybdenite and gold. |
Immediately adjacent to the deposit are small bodies of garnetite, ferruginous barite-andradite and oligoclase-carbonate rocks. The |
deposits and their host rocks have been multiply deformed and highly metamorphosed. |
