The Palaeoproterozoic Tennant Creek Inlier and Granites-Tanami Inlier share stratigraphic and tectonic similarities. Gold is the most important commodity mined within both inliers, concentrated in deposits with regional stratigraphic and local structural controls. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16.
Use Cases
- Mapping regional stratigraphic controls for gold deposits based on Mount Charles beds and Warramunga Formation ironstones
- Analyzing structural controls on mineralisation based on basin and dome structures from D2 and D3 deformation episodes
- Studying the origin of mineralising fluids based on descriptions of magmatic and metamorphic fluid components
- Identifying mineral commodity potential based on mentions of Au, Cu, Bi, W, U, Ag/Pb mineralisation
Strengths
- Detailed geological description of two major inliers in Northern Territory
- Specific mention of gold as the most important commodity and other minerals like Cu, Bi, W, U, Ag/Pb
