The Woodlawn volcanogenic Zn-Pb-Cu deposit is situated on the flank of a folded Middle to Upper Silurian volcaniclastic pile within the Lachlan Fold belt of eastern Australia (Malone et al., 1975). Primary ore comprises some 6 million tonnes of finely-banded complex massive sulphide ore (average grade 14% Zn, 5% Pb, 1.6% Cu and 88 g/t Ag). Ryall (1979b) compared the distribution of Hg with that of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, As and Sb in massive sulphide ore and wall rocks. The Hg content of massive sulphide ore ranges from <100-18,000 ppb and thermal release curves indicate Hg resides principally...

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.
