| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Product description:Introduction Following the discovery of promising copper-lead-zinc mineralisation near Benambra by Western Mining Corporation, the Geological Survey undertook a rapid mapping programme of the Limestone Creek area in the summer of 1978-1979. The aim was to map and establish the stratigraphy in a belt of Silurian volcanics and sediments lying about 30 km east of Benambra. The belt is roughly triangular, with an area of about 1000 km2, with its apices at Bindi, Cowombat Plain, and Mt Seldom Seen. The area straddles the Great Dividing Range and most of it is mountainous and very rugged, with relief ranging from 1800 to 1600 m at Mts Cobberas and Wombargo, to 500 to 700 m in the Buchan, Tambo and Indi valleys and in low-lying areas such as Bindi. Access is very difficult in parts of the area, and outcrop is generally quite poor, despite the rugged relief. Because of the limited time available, this report and the accompanying map are to be regarded as provisional accounts.
