Author: Bluck, R.G.

Analysis of Pliocene sedimentation along the Padthaway Ridge has identified a major shoreline feature in the Marmon Jabuk Range, with associated, but younger, shorelines developed in the Padthaway area. Traversing and sampling has established the presence of a suitable heavy mineral suite. Models of known heavy mineral deposits, together with palaeogeographic reconstructions, are being used to assess the potential of this region and to identify exploration targets.
