Channelways.<br />

A sedimentary rock containing large rounded rock fragments.<br />

The enclosing rock around a body of ore.<br />

A relatively immobile part of the earth’s crust, generally of a large size.<br />

Rocks in layered igneous intrusions which appear to have formed by the<br />

accumulation of crystals.<br />

Process by which rocks are folded or faulted.<br />

The precipitation of mineral matter from solution.<br />

Method of obtaining a cylindrical core of rock by drilling with a diamond<br />

impregnated bit.<br />

Coarse-grained intrusive rock of intermediate composition.<br />

The angle at which layered rocks, foliation, a fault, or other planar structures, are<br />

inclined from the horizontal.<br />

Relative movement of the two sides of a fault.<br />

Mineral grains scattered throughout host rock.<br />

Sediments formed far from the source area.<br />

Department of Industry, Resources and Environment<br />

Medium-grained crystalline basalt.<br />

Direction which is most likely downwards on a lithological structure or surface.<br />

Any fold that is a subsidiary part of a large fold.<br />

The process of discharge of water from an area by stream or sheet flow and<br />

removal of excess water from soil by downward flow.<br />

Tabular igneous intrusion cutting across the bedding or other planar structures in<br />

the country rocks.<br />

Exploration licence (application).<br />

Method of measuring the alternate magnetic fields associated with electrical<br />

currents artificially or naturally maintained in the subsurface.<br />

Electromagnetic survey.<br />

Calcium aluminium silicate mineral.<br />

A mineral deposit formed later than the enclosing rock.<br />

Mineral deposit formed in faults and fractures, mainly in volcanic rocks within<br />

about 1km of the Earth’s surface, from low temperature hydrothermal fluids.<br />

Igneous rocks that have flowed out onto the Earth’s surface.<br />

The general appearance or nature of one part of rock body as contrasted with<br />

other parts.<br />

A fracture in rocks along which rocks on one side have been moved relative to<br />

the rocks on the other. The movement may provide a channel for the passage of<br />

mineral bearing solutions.<br />

A very abundant group of rock-forming silicate minerals in which calcium,<br />

sodium and potassium are in combination with aluminium.<br />

Fine grained igneous rocks with a very low content of mafic minerals.<br />

A bend in rock strata.<br />

Laminated structure in rocks resulting from the parallelism of the constituent<br />

minerals or by segregation of different minerals into layers.<br />

Natural or induced breaks in a rock which enhance its reservoir properties.<br />

Grams per tonne – measure of gold content of rock or sample.<br />

Coarse grained dark igneous rock of similar composition to basic volcanics.<br />

Lead sulphide mineral.<br />
