Summary:
• Occur within metapelites and metarhyolite, of the Balcooma Metavolcanics
• Two lenses are lead/zinc rich and one is copper rich
• Lens like bodies
• Recent age dating suggests the bodies formed in the Early Ordovician (~480Ma)
• Textures suggest the deposit is a deformed and metamorphosed volcanogenic massive sulphide similar to those in the Seventy Mile range Group.
• Mineralisation is Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide type typical of deposits in a back-arc setting “Kuroko type”.
