Field Trips

Albitisation and Hydrothermal Breccias in the Proterozoic Basement of South Australia

This excursion takes you to the Palaeoproterozoic Curnamona Craton, host to the world class super giant deposit of Broken Hill. In the Curnamona Craton we will be looking at regional scale alteration patterns that have altered large volumes of rock to a mineralogy dominated by albite. Associated with this albitisation are large, intrusive, hydrothermal breccias consisting of albitised clasts in a matrik of Ca-Mg-Fe silicates (actinolite, clinopyroxene), magnetite, quartz, albite, and apatite.

Schedule: 5 days, leaving Saturday, April 18th 8:00am returning wednesday April 22nd in the evening

Accommodation: simple but comfortable accommodation in "Shearer's Quarters" on outback stations.

A visit to the Broken Hill mine may be possible but cannot be confirmed as yet.
