Records Volume 23 Part 1 - Geological Setting of Gold and Copper Deposits in the Parkes area, New South Wales

Abstract

This report covers the area between Forbes in the south, and Tomingley in the north, and the Harvey Range and Carridgery-Gunning Ridge in the east and west respectively. A meridional belt of gold deposits extending from Forbes, through Parkes and Peak Hill to Tomingley, and a significant new discovery of a porphyry copper-gold province near Goonumbla, have recently provided the stimulus for a high level of exploration activity in the area. Several sub-projects of the Geological Survey's Component of the Parkes Project are discussed in this report.
