RB 71/00014 Stream sediment sampling of Giles Complex intrusions in the Musgrave Ranges.

Published: 01 Jan 1973 Created: 06 Nov 2024 Revised: 06 Nov 2024

Author: Miller, P.G.

A total of 380 stream sediment samples and 40 heavy mineral samples were collected from Giles Complex norites in the Musgrave Ranges and the -80 mesh fraction tested for copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, manganese, titanium, molybdenum and platinoid elements. No markedly anomalous values were detected and with the exception of the intrusions near Mount Woodroffe and Trudinger Pass, background values for all elements were low and no further work is warranted. Near Mount Woodroffe and in Trudinger Pass, background values for nickel and copper are higher, approximately double that of the remainder of the intrusions. Chalcopyrite has been reported in Trudinger Pass and further work on this intrusion is recommended.
