  • Granites of North Queensland D.C
    The Ishihara Symposium: Granites and Associated Metallogenesis GRANITES OF NORTH QUEENSLAND D.C. Champion1 & R.J. Bultitude2 1Geoscience Australia, GPO Box 378, Canberra, ACT, 2601. 2Geological Survey of Queensland, 80 Meiers Road, Indooroopilly, 4068. Introduction North Queensland comprises Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic basement (Etheridge, Savannah, Croydon1) provinces structurally overlain by successively younger components including Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (Iron Range, Cape River, Barnard), Cambrian- Ordovician (Thalanga) and Ordovician to Carboniferous (Broken River, Hodgkinson) provinces (Figs 1, 2). The region has been the site of long lived, episodic, widespread and voluminous felsic I-, S- and rarer A-type magmatism, spanning some 1200 Ma. Major episodes of granite formation include the Mesoproterozoic (ca 1550 Ma), the Cambrian to Ordovician (ca 480-460 Ma) Macrossan Igneous Province, the Silurian to Devonian (ca 430- 380 Ma) Pama Igneous Province, and the Carboniferous to Permian (ca 330-260 Ma) Kennedy Igneous Province (Table 1; Fig. 2). Mesoproterozoic granites Proterozoic granites in north Queensland are dominated by the Mesoproterozoic granites of the Georgetown region (Forsayth Subprovince (Etheridge Province) and Croydon Province; Fig. 2). These differ markedly from the majority of Proterozoic granites elsewhere within Australia, being dominated by S-type granites, and also comprising Sr-undepleted, Y-depleted sodic I-type granites. The Georgetown region provides a cross-section through the crust, showing that the S-type granites range from small migmatitic bodies at higher metamorphic grades (middle-upper amphibolite) to large plutons at similar and lower metamorphic grades (Bain et al., 1997). Their potassic, LILE-, LREE-, Th- and U-enriched nature coupled with Nd-Sr isotopic data show that they were largely derived from gneissic metasediments similar to those outcropping in the region.

  • Queensland Geological Framework
    Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier.
