Sediment-hosted base metal deposits. CODES/AMIRA Project P.384A. Report No. 6, August 1998.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION This interim report contains the results of a study of the lithogeochemistry of some sedimentary rocks from the Lawn Hill Platform in the Century area. The analytical data was provided from the AGSO Rockchem data base, and the interpretation is based on our lithogeochemical vector research previously presented in P384/P384A reports. This report is being distributed prior to the final project meeting because of the significance of the results to exploration for Century-style Zn-Pb-Ag deposits. Also included as an appendix to this report is a paper by Large and McGoldrick to be published shortly in the Journal of Geochemical Exploration. It is included here because it provides important background to the Century lithogeochemical study. The published paper is a modified version of the report presented to sponsors of P384 in October 1993 (Report 3: 63-91). Ross Large Director, CODES
