The area includes the Willyama Inlier and surrounding Adelaidean 300 km NE of Adelaide. The Willyama Complex is separated by NW trending faults into blocks of metasedimentary rock of upper amphibolite grade with amphibolite, migmatite and granitoid. Broad correlation is possible with the Broken Hill area to the east. In the Murray Basin, to the SE, the oldest known Tertiary is of Early Miocene age, in a total know thickness of 150 metres. Minor sedimentary uranium is present. The region has been multiply deformed. Current mining is restricted to barite from Mount Mulga and small parcels of gold ore. Past mining includes uranium at Radium Hill, copper at Mutooroo and feldspar-beryl-mica from pegmatites.
