Genesis of Mount Gunson copper deposits.
2 main types of copper deposit are recognized. 1 of these is of low grade, near the base of the laminite sequences in the Woocalla Dolomite, probably of syngenetic origin, and is believed to be the oldest and primary kind of deposit. (Gully, MG 14...-

Results of August, 1974 drilling at the MG14 target, EL 81, Mount Gunson.
14 cored holes have intersected copper mineralization in shaley facies of the Woocalla Dolomite, and extending up into dark claystone at the base of the Whyalla Sandstone. The mineralised rocks occupy a shallow depression in the post-Pandurra erosion...-

Progress report on geology of the Cattlegrid [copper mine]. Observations since the commencement of mining.
Opening up of the Cattlegrid pit has greatly elucidated the geology of the Whyalla Sandstone and the ore bearing zone of the Pandurra Formation and with the discovery of the MG 14 basic dyke and overlying mineralization, a much more direct association...-
