A study of the mineralisation at the Kitticoola copper mine, Palmer, S.A.

[摘要] The Kitticoola Copper and Gold Mine near Palmer, is one of a number of such occurrences in the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, but differs from the norm in that it is located within a granitic host rock, intrusive into lower Palaeozoic meta-sediments of the Kanmantoo Group.In this study, field relationships, together with mineralogical studies of the ore and associated hydrothermal alteration are outlined and suggestions put forward as to sequence of formation.Geochemical studies including soil sampling and rock, gossan and ore analyses are also presented together with conclusions pertaining to exploration.
