Broad areas with potential to host a variety of styles of mineralisation have been outlined as a result of this study. These areas have been identified based on the results of prior exploration, known geology and an appraisal of the new geophysical data. Disseminated copper-gold and tin deposits, together with vein gold, tin and tungsten and volcanic hosted base metal mineralisation all represent potential exploration targets within the area. GEOLOGY AND PROSPECTIVITY - TALLANGATTA 5 1 Introduction This report represents part of a data package that has been prepared to provide information to explorers in the Tallangatta 1:250 000 sheet areas, which is located in northeast Victoria (Fig. 1). The data package has been prepared to provide information to explorers in a part of the Eastern Highlands Initiative area where the exemption from mining and exploration licences will be lifted in the near future. This package includes the results of airborne magnetic/ radiometric surveys flown over this area, between November 1994 and March 1995, as a component of the VIMP Eastern Highlands Initiative program. A summary of the geology, mineralisation and exploration history are presented in this report, together with recommendations for areas worthy of further exploration for a variety of commodities. It details for the first time the range and styles of primary gold, tin, tungsten and base metal mineralisation in the sheet area, together with comments on their mode of formation. A comprehensive reference list directs the reader to more detailed descriptions of the geology and mineralisation of the area. The digital data set accompanying this report details the location, geology and production from over 1500 individual mines and prospects on the Tallangatta 1:250 000 sheet area. A digital data set covering the Tallangatta 1:250 000 sheet area in MapInfo and Arcview format is available for purchase from the Business Centre, Department of Agriculture, Energy and Minerals, Ground Floor, 115 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy. Themes in the data package include topographic data, geological boundaries, geophysical surveys and images, mines and prospects, geochemical samples, drill holes, and historical and current exploration tenements.

TALLANGATTA covers much of the Omeo Zone (Gray et al., 1988) of Victoria, and also parts of the Kosciusko Batholith and Kiandra Group of 2.1 Geological history New South Wales (NSW). The Palaeozoic history of the Omeo Zone is complex.

  • Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Place Names (7)
    Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Names Peter Gardner 1.The Meaning of the word “Munjie”(1) The meaning of the word "munjie", amongst other things, is mentioned in an article by John O'Rourke (2). This word has been given various attributed meanings including 'fish' by the Aboriginal Protector George Augustus Robinson. But almost certainly the true meaning, as recorded a number of times by Alfred Howitt, is 'place'. Hence Bukkanmunjie, the original name for Buchan, and also mentioned by O'Rourke, is "place of the woman's bag" and not "evil spirit of the jumping water" as O'Rourke claimed. John O'Rourke wrote: "Coming through from New South Wales one passes through 'rapid water' country, falling into Victoria, and it is found that the (word) Munjie occurs very frequently. Some of the New South Wales blackfellows claim Omeo as their territory, and there are lots of Munjies about there - Hiinomunjie, Tongiomunjie, Lumlamunjie, etc. When you came down to the still water the munjies ceased and I claim this finally proves that the name of the blackfellows for 'jumping water' was munjie." (3) O'Rourke continued: "There is another instance in the Mullick Munjie River, which empties into the Buchan. Formerly it was known as Quag Quag Munjie (4). When the blackfellows became acquainted with milk they used also to call it mullick, and this river is a series of steep rapids, the water coming down like an avalanche of snow, so I presume they changed it in mullick, owing to the foam reminding them of milk." (5) Unfortunately O'Rourke has found an elaborate solution for a simple problem.
