Stratabound fluorite-uranium-molybdenum mineralisation confined to relatively coarse, fluviatile arkosic sediments of the Gilberton |
Formation which unconformably overlies Proterozoic metamorphics and is overlain by the Maureen Volcanic Group. |
Mineralisation is complex, especially in the oxidised zone with a range of hydrated oxides, phosphates, arsenates and sulphates of U, Mo, |
Fe and Al. Mineralisation shows both concordant and cross-cutting relationships with the host rock. |
It has cross-cut some sedimentary structures, filled fractures and replaced matrix, some clasts and locally the entire rock. In some areas, |
mineralisation has been strongly controlled by sedimentary features and in places diagenetic features. |
