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 />
