| Michelle_714 | Locality is characterized by the voluminous intrusions of the Moorarie Supersuite (Minnie Creek Batholith, ca. 1820–1770 Ma) that have undergone deformation and low-grade metamorphism during the Capricorn Orogeny. Two types of molybdenum mineralization are recognized. An earlier intrusion related, disseminated molybdenite found within alkali granites. The second molybdenite enrichment is hosted within quartz-rich veinlets reflecting remobilisation of molybdenite associated with Neoproterozoic faulting. |
