Geology and mineralazation in the southern Lachlan Fold Belt: Colo creek ? a barite zinc-rich setting in the hill end trough

Abstract

The Colo Creek setting, some 66 km south of Bathurst, is situated on the very western margin of the Hill End Trough. Zinc-rich sulphides have been deposited rapidly, in a high energy depositional environment close to a zone of active submarine acid volcanism.
