The graphite mineralization at Siviour is hosted within Meso-Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks sediments of the Hutchison Group. The graphite mineralization is within a nominally 30 m-thick band of pelitic schist that occurs within a thick calc-silicate sequence.Mineralisation hosted within a sequence of micro-gneiss, metasedimentary rocks and schists.The mineralisation is generally tabular, oriented east-west and forms an undulating surface that dips shallowly to the southwest, in the southern area, and more steeply to the north in the northern area. In the west the strike of the mineralisation has been interpreted, from geophysical data, to swing sharply towards the north and in the east is partially dislocated by a fault zone although, again from geophysical data, is anticipated to extend further to the east to Siviour East and Paxtons. Geological interpretation was completed on a sectional basis, from which geological surfaces were interpolated for the dominant lithologies and the top and base of the mineralised horizons. These interpretations were used to constrain the grade estimation. There are no alternative detailed interpretations of geology. The main mineralisation domains were defined using grade constraints in conjunction with geophysical data. A nominal cut-off grade of 3% TGC was used to define boundaries between the higher-grade mineralised horizons and the and weakly-mineralised or un-mineralised horizons within the micro-gneiss, metasedimentary rocks and schists.The main zone of mineralisation extends over 2.9 km east-west and 1.6 km north-south. The horizontal width ranges from 550 m within the central area, at the Siviour Prospect, to 125 m south of Buckies.
