Comments |
Small pods of Ag-Pb-Zn sulphides occur along a general zone of fracturing. The mineralisation of the Herberton/Mount Garnet area is |
thought to be characterised by a distinct zoning related to the Elizabeth Creek Granite. |
In this scheme a tungsten inner zone passes outwards to a tin zone then to a copper zone and finally a lead zone (Blake and Smith, 1970). |
This deposit is thought to occur within the outer lead zone. |
Some authors e.g. CR 23451 have proposed the mineralisation contains characteristics of volcanogenic-type massive sulphide |
mineralisation. |
