G11 Resources is focused on identifying Company making discoveries from their 3,300km² land package in the Koonenberry Belt, NSW.
The Koonenberry Belt is located within the Delamerian Orogen in western NSW, approximately 130km east of Broken Hill. The Delamerian Orogen comprises a sequence of Proterozoic to Devonian aged sediments, volcanics and intrusives which have undergone multiple mineralisation, deformation, remobilisation and enrichment events.
The scale and setting of the Koonenberry Belt within the Delamerian Orogen, along with its proximity to the cratonic margin is analogous to the Fraser Zone within the Albany Fraser Orogen, which hosts the world-class Nova-Bollinger Ni-Cu-PGE and Tropicana Au deposits.
The long history of deposition and deformation in the Koonenberry Belt increases its prospectivity for large mineralised systems. Some of the key events include:
Neo-Proterozoic
Deposition of the Mt Arrowsmith Volcanics including Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation within mafic-ultramafic sequences.
Cambrian
Deposition of the Ponto Group within the right tectonic setting for Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposition. Delamerian Orogeny causing remobilisation of base metal mineralisation and enrichment in dilatant structural traps.
Siluro Devonian
Extensional tectonics along the Koonenberry Fault creating the Mt Daubney Basin and the associated Cu-Ag-Pb mineralisation.
Carboniferous
Fourth major tectonic event resulting in further deformation and enrichment of Cu and Au mineralisation in structural traps.
Rocks from all of these events are located within the 190km strike extent of G11 Tenure, underscoring the significant potential of the belt to host numerous Company Making Discoveries
