The sedimentary environment of Cambrian and Marinoan shelf sediments in South Australia is outlined. Tables are presented showing the distribution of Cu and Pb in the various facies of these sediments. Low grade copper mineralisation in some Marinoan shale and dolomite units is considered to be contemporaneous with sedimentation. The extensive enrichment of Pb in basal Cambrian sediments is attributed to either a sedimentary exhalative process contemporaneous with sedimentation, or later telethermal mineralisation related to an Ordovician orogeny. Basement fault-shear lineaments and areas of Pb and Cu enrichment are inter-related.
