Abstract
The Milparinka-Tibooburra district is characterised by the appearance of various quartz veins hosted in low grade metamorphic, strongly deformed clastic sediments. A large percentage of these veins are cleavage-parallel and bear gold and minor sulphides. The mineralised veins were generated in the course of hydraulic fracturing caused by local high fluid pressure during deformation and metamorphism. Geochemical evidence and preliminary isotopic data indicate that the gold has been derived from an external source and has been introduced during quartz vein formation.
