Bulletin No. 32 (3) - 1994: Metallogenic Studies of the Broken Hill and Euriowie Blocks in New South Wales, Mineral Deposits of the Southern Eastern Broken Hill Block.

Abstract

This study of the mineral deposits of the south-eastern part of the Broken Hill Block is the third part of Bulletin No. 32 - Metallogenic Studies of the Broken Hill and Euriowie Blocks, New South Wales. It covers the main Pb-Zn-Ag lodes and describes the lode geometry, mineralogy, host rocks, stratigraphy, structural setting and historical information on production and exploration. The most important mineral deposits in this area are (i) stratiform type deposits, (ii) base metal-bearing and gold-bearing vein deposits, (iii) mineralisation related to intrusive rocks and non-metallic deposits. The stratiform deposits are the most common and they are described in great detail. The text is well illustrated with 41 figures and 17 photographs. Interpreted geology with cross sections of several mines are presented. Summary of geochemistry assays of samples from three mines are presented in tables.
