A deposit of barite, up to 20m wide and 350m long occurs in the Woocalla Dolomite Member at Pernatty Lagoon. The barite as indicated by grab samples, is associated with up to about 2.6 per cent strontium sulphate, 0.12 per cent iron oxide and 0.8 per cent silica. The barite was probably formed by low temperature hydrothermal fluids. It is estimated that there are about 16,000 tonnes per vertical metre of barite available. The prospect of finding more barite in the area, is considered favourable.
