The Tollu Project contains high grade copper mineralisation known over a 2km x 3km area where mineralisation styles include fault-related, vein and fracture fill, stringer and disseminated mineralization in altered gabbro and felsic volcanic host rocks.
It is located in the south-western portion of the West Musgrave Region, north of the A-type Tollu Granite.
Owned by Redstone Resources Ltd.



Located approximately 25 kilometres south south-east of the Blackstone indigenous community. Cu-Ni is hosted by a swarm of hydrothermal Cu rich veins forming part of a dilation system between two major shears. Cu mineralization at the surface shows as malachite, tenorite and azurite. Mineralization below 60-80 metres is chalcopyrite and minor pyrite, chalcocite and bornite.

Discovered by South Western Mining Limited (Inco) in 1957. The central zone of the deposit has eight sub-zones, although the reference does not describe these in any detail. Sub-Zone 1 is mentioned at a length of 600 metres at the surface, and average thickness of 9.37 metres, 380 metres deep and open at depth, grading at 2.68% Cu. The Tollu Eastern Zone is also mentioned being similar to Sub-Zone 1 except with traces of Ni and cobalt sulphides, with surface vein related Cu mineralization.

The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate, and little exploration work could be seen where maps place the prospect. The post office listed at the site on Google Maps does not exist, and demonstrates how some people in more settled areas of the world have little idea of the remoteness of these places. The nearest human habitation is Blackstone, 25 kilometres away.
