Paleoproterozoic rocks of northern Australia host one of the worlds largest base metal repositories and are the worlds most important zinc repository. The McArthur-Mount Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt contains several world-class Zn-Pb-Ag, U, Cu, and Cu-Au deposits (Ewers and Fergusson, 1980; Williams,...
