Summary of results. Joint NTGS-GA geochronology project: Cu-Au-Ag-Zn mineralisation in MOUNT RENNIE, Aileron and Warumpi provinces, March - September 2018

Abstract

This Record presents data collected between March and September 2018 as part of the ongoing Northern Territory Geological Survey-Geoscience Australia (NTGS-GA) SHRIMP geochronology project under the National Collaborative Framework (NCF) agreement and Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program. Five new U-Pb SHRIMP zircon geochronological results, derived from five samples of meta-igneous and metasedimentary rocks from MOUNT RENNIE (southwestern Aileron Province and northwestern Warumpi Province) in the Northern Territory, are presented herein. All five samples are located at or close to the recently discovered greenfield Grapple and Bumblebee prospects, which contain precious and base metal sulfide mineralisation. This Record represents the first attempt to provide temporal constraints on the country rocks associated with this mineralisation.
