| Abstract: | The geological setting of copper mineralization occurring within the Mt. Fitton South area has been examined. The major control on mineralization is the unconformable contact between Carpentarian granites and Adelaidean cover sediments. This contact appears to have controlled the migration of the ore bearing solutions. Ore deposition has been localized in Lower Palaeozoic shear and fault zones which occur at the basement-cover contact. The degree of structural control on mineralization was sufficient to warrant a detailed study of the structural environment of the project area. |
