EARLY CARBONIFEROUS
Zeolites in altered water-lain ash-fall tuffs of the Early Carboniferous, Ducabrook Formation. The sequence is gently folded with no |
evidence of metamorphism. |
The resource occurs within three horizons. The middle horizon has excellent grade (135-160 meg/100g cation capacity) |
Ca-clinoptilolite-type zeolite. The unit averages 2-3m in thickness with little (<0.5m) overburden. |
