Two structural regimes have been identified from Landsat Multi Spectral Scanner imagery covering Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges: - a thrust terrain in the Adelaidean metasedimentary sequence; - the major Kanmantoo Shear Zone affecting the Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough. Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery and air photographs were used to map lithology and structural lineaments over the Karinya Syncline the site of SADME investigations for potential Pb-Zn mineralisation. A number of significant NNW trending structures were identified which may represent shear planes. Near the intersection of NW and NE trending lineaments a small diffuse circular anomaly, identified from TM imagery, is associated with minor NE trending lineaments and TM colour anomalies. This area is close to a geochemical anomaly, the Gap Prospect.
