Influence of basin fill architecture on fluid flow and ore genesis in the Mount Isa Basin, Northern Australia

  • 498 Accesses

Abstract

The known area of the Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic Mount Isa Basin covers more than 120 000 km2 of north central Australia (Figure 1). Much of the basin margin has either been erosionally removed or is concealed beneath the younger Georgina, Carpentaria and Eromanga Basins. It is only in the northwest, where the younger basin sequences onlap the Murphy Inlier, that an original basin margin is preserved. The exposed part of the basin covers an area 600 km long and 200 km in width. The basin fill varies from more than 11 000 m stratigraphic thickness in the southeast to a zero edge along the exposed southern flank of the Murphy Inlier (Figure 1) in the northwest.
