Mt. Carlton district


The Urannah batholith is a monzogranite. This unit crops out mostly to the north and west of the district. Three samples have been dated, providing an age range from ~296 to 307 Ma. The Lower basalt/andesite unit discordantly overlies the Urannah batholith, however the contact has always been observed tectonized. This unit is composed of andesites and basalts. Three samples provided an age range of 287-288 Ma. The Rhyolite unit is the main deposit host rock. It is deposited on top of the Lower basalt/andesite unit. It is composed of flow banded to coherent rhyolites, rhyolite breccias, rhyolitic tuffs and is locally interbedded with volcaniclastic and lacustrine sediments. Five samples provided an age range of 277-281 Ma. The Volcanic/volcaniclastic unit is composed of dacites, ignimbrites, andesites, and volcaniclastic rocks. These rocks overly the rhyolite unit, although locally they are interbedded. Six samples provided an age range of 270-280 Ma. The Trachyte unit that overlies all previous units, is a rhyolite with well-developed trachytic texture. Two samples have been dated providing an age of 275-276 Ma. Subvolcanic intrusions of granitic, rhyolitic and andesitic composition with porphyritic texture intrude the entire volcanic sequence. They locally develop porphyry copper-type alteration mineralization. Ten samples have been dated providing an age range of 285-118 Ma.
