Köppen climate type:
Represented by 2 intrusions - Yungul North and Yungul South which are just over 600 m apart (Gwalani et al. 2010). They have been emplaced into the Hart Dolerite which, together with the sedimentary and volcanic rocks it intrudes, is of Proterozoic age.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Early/Lower Cretaceous : 122 ± 24 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
