    • Analogous to the Wallaby, Jupiter and Cameron Well gold deposits.
  • Orogenic Lode Gold
    • Related to deep tapping structures and their associated second/third order splays.
    • Significant gold deposits in the district include Granny Smith, Sunrise Dam and Mt Morgans.
  • Volcanogenic Massive Sulphides (VMS)
    • Related to geothermal vents on the ancient sea floor.
    • Favourable geological environment, with VMS deposits known in the district, for example Teutonic Bore, Anaconda and Jaguar.

    • Related to ultramafic volcanics and intrusions.
    • Three significant nickel projects are within a 50km radius, being Murrin Murrin, Kilkenny/Eucalyptus and Windarra.
