Borroloola
Overview & Background
The Borroloola Project comprises a total area of 14,200km2 of granted tenements and tenements under application in the Northern Territory. The Project encloses a significant proportion of the Batten Fault Zone, host to the giant McArthur River lead and zinc mine deposit. This deposit is the second largest SEDEX base metal deposit in the world.
The Project also covers near-coastal areas of Cretaceous rocks considered to be highly prospective for sedimentary manganese mineralisation, similar to the world-class Groote Eylandt manganese deposits north of the Borroloola Project in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
