The Structure of the Rosebery Mine Sequence (CODES publication 18)

Abstract

Introduction A study was carried out over 5 days at the Rosebery Mine to assess structural evidence which could be used to support the fold model proposed by Dr. R. Large and Mr. K. Zaw. The work consisted of a series of structural sections across parts of the ore and host sequence which were predicted to show fold closures based on metal zonation. In addition the project was aimed to check for structural evidence which could test an alternative model (Aerden 1987) that the ore was formed by structurally controlled replacement. Excellent exposures were studied in crosscuts on 15,16 and 18 levels involving sections from E to G, and E to F lens.
