West Kundip covers an area of Proterozoic dolomite and mudstone overlying Archaean tonalite approximately 15km south of Ravensthorpe. The Manyutup Tonalite covers the northern portion of the tenement, which has been intruded by numerous Proterozoic dykes. The tonalite is overlain by Mt Barren Group sediments which include a 23m thick dolomite and mudstone sequence defined by drilling. This sequence is then overlain by quartzites and shales, with a second dolomite layer covering the eastern part of the lease. The basal dolomite comprises approximately 20% of the sequence, with a manganese-rich unit of the dolomite occurring as cavity fillings and replacement of the dolomite. |
