The Cambrian sediments in the vicinity of the Mount Barker Creek and about the Callington-Kanmantoo mines have been studied. Evidence is produced to show there is rapid thickening of members above the Inman Hill Formation north of Mount Barker Creek. The metamorphic grade is uniform over the area mapped, the presence of andalusite being due to a difference in composition in the original sediment. The base of the Cambrian has been identified at the bass of an arkosic member near the bridge at Mount Barker Springs. Some comments on a probable origin for the copper mineralisation are included.
