Antarctica undoubtedly contains mineral deposits that formed in the course of its long geologic history. The vast amount of ice on the continent (Section 2.6) and the coal seams that are interbedded with the rocks of the Beacon Supergroup have already been mentioned in Section 10.3.5. In addition, Ravich et al. (1982) described Precambrian iron deposits in the Prince Charles Mountains located west of the Lambert Glacier... 

Fig. 12.1 In this continental reconstruction by Lawver et al. (2003), Tasmania is located close to the coast of northern Victoria Land and within the Ross-Delamerian-Lachlan fold belt. Therefore, the geologic history of Tasmania was similar to that of the Ross orogen and the Transantarctic Mountains from early Paleozoic to the break-up of Gondwana in the late Mesozoic. AFO = Albany-Fraser orogen the V patterned areas identify an igneous province of Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic age GSM = Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains the Miller Range was discussed in Section 5.1.1 the lines within Australia and East Antarctica are tectonic boundaries (Adapted from Fig. 4.1-2 by Finn et al. (2006))...
