The cobalt mineralisation occurs as massive manganese wads and as manganiferous matrix in course sandstone and grits associated with |
|
Jurrassic sediments of the Eromanga Basin. |
|
The manganese-cobalt mineralisation is confined to joint bounded diatreme-like structures containing brecciated coarse sandstone blocks. |
|
Interaction of hydrothermal fluids (generated from gabbro/basaltic intrusives) scavanged manganese and cobalt from the |
Evergreen Formation sediments and deposited them in the joint/breccia zones. Later Tertiary weathering enriched this mineralisation.
