Alluvial cassiterite occurs within alluvium of Garrawalt Creek to a maximum depth of 12.8m.
The source of the cassiterite is thought to be the contact zone between Carboniferous granite and rhyolite where greisenised fractures |
have been observed to contain lode cassiterite, wolframite and molybdenite. |
