4 main styles of mineralization have been identified and the following areas worthy of further investigation are outlined : . Broken Hill style : associated with banded iron formation (BIF) and schist of the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group on eastern Eyre Peninsula; . Gamsberg (or Balmat-Edwards) style : associated with metamorphosed calc-silicate and dolomite of the Hutchison Group (northern and central Eyre Peninsula); . Mount Isa style : Early Proterozoic (1800-1730 Ma) acid volcanics and associated, dominantly fine-grained, sediments; . McArthur River style : Middle Proterozoic, in black shale, siltstone, dolomite and chert associated with tuffaceous volcanics and major structural features. A style of mineralization, not noted for lead and zinc but containing appreciable silver, is Olympic Dam. In the Roopena area, mineralization in underlying altered haematitic breccias suggests affinities with Olympic Dam.
