Abstract:
The Warramunga Province of the Palaeoproterozoic North Australian Craton, in the central Northern Territory, represents a prospective terrane for mineral exploration. A well-known example is the Tennant Creek mineral field, which has a rich history of gold, copper, bismuth, silver, and selenium production. Some 80 km southwest of the Tennant Creek mineral field is the entirely undercover Rover field, which hosts base and precious metal deposits with established mineral resources (JORC). Despite this, the geological framework, nature and timing of mineral systems remains poorly understood.
