The Renison deposit is hosted by a thick late Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic sedimentary and volcanic sequences of the Success Creek Group and Crimson Creek Formation which were deposited within the Dundas Trough between two Neoproterozoic blocks; the Tyennan and Rocky Cape massifs to the east and west respectively.The Renison deposit is hosted by supratidal to intertidal dolomitic and siliciclastic sediments of the Renison Mine Sequence which comprises the upper ~80m of the Success Creek Group and the lower ~60m of the overlying Crimson Creek Formation. The Renison Mine Sequence ranges from 50 to 200m in thickness, but is in general around 140m, with individual cherts and carbonates being from 10 to 20m thick. The primary carbonates are well bedded manganiferous dolomite or pistomesite.The Renison Mine Sequence has been intruded by the Devonian Pine Hill Granite which is interpreted to have likely been the source of the hydrothermal fluids responsible for carbonate replacement tin mineralisation.The deposit occurs on the NE limb of the broad, SE plunging, Renison Bell Anticline, which constitutes a horst block bounded to the NE by the NW-SE trending, 60 to 85°NE dipping Federal-Bassett Fault, to the SW by the subparallel Blow Fault and to the south by the east-west striking Argent fault. The horst is ~700m to 1km wide and 3km long.Mineralisation at Renison occurs in three main forms: 1. Stratabound massive sulphide orebodies;2. Strata-fault massive sulphide orebodies; and 3. fault enclosed massive sulphides and vein clusters. Mineralisation comprises tin, almost solely as fine grained cassiterite, commonly associated with significant sulphide development dominated by 65-70% pyrrhotite and variable arsenopyrite and pyrite. Chalcopyrite is a widespread trace mineral while galena, sphalerite and stannite are encountered sporadically.DimensionsRenison has been mined over a strike length of >1,950m, a lateral extent of >1,250m and a depth of over 1,200m. Rentails is deposited in three adjacent TSFs which have and aggregate length of approximately 1.8km and a width at the widest point of circa 1km. Maximum depth is in excess of 20m.
