PTY LTD.
Projects Overview
Barrier Resources has assembled a strategic portfolio of fourteen exploration licences covering a large tract of the fertile stratigraphy and structures of the highly-mineralised Willyarma Supergroup within the Broken Hill Block. The portfolio contains a great number of historic mines and mineral occurrences, many of which have experienced minimal modern exploration.
Since 2017 Barrier has a compiled a comprehensive database of previous work and carried out extensive exploration programmes comprising geochemical (soil and rock chip) sampling, geophysical (IP, ground magnetics) surveys, geological mapping, mineralogical and petrographic studies and diamond drilling.
This work has defined extensive tracts of previously unrecognised Broken Hill Type lode rocks and identified multiple targets for further work. Further drilling is planned for Thackaringa and other targets have drill sites prepared and drilling approvals granted:
Work programmes are continuing to define drill targets on other of the company’s priority areas.
Barrier Resources, Broken Hill Tenements
Common Mineral Deposit Types in the Broken Hill Block on Barrier Tenements
Type | Style | Metals | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
U-bearing quartz-sulfide veins | Epigenetic veins | U | Quartz-Fe sulfide veins in brittle structures. Poorly known. |
Waukeroo type Sn veins | Pegmatite veins with Sn . | Sn | Disseminated cassiterite in very coarse quartz-feldspar pegmatite veins. |
Pb-bearing quartz veins | Epigenetic vein | Pb (-Cu) | White-grey quartz veins with disseminated or blebby Fe and Pb sulfides. Common but none economic. |
Base-metal Sulfides in pegmatite | Epigenetic vein | Pb, Zn, Cu | Late pegmatites with minor base metals sulfides (not Sn pegmatites). Uncommon and not economically significant. |
