| History of the Brocks Creek Project |
|
Gold was discovered at Brocks Creek in 1871 during the construction of the Adelaide to Darwin overland telegraph line. This was the prelude to a period of mining by English companies and Chinese tribute miners until 1914. Field work subsequently declined and there was little activity in the area for the next 60 years.

| Geology of the Brocks Creek Project |
|
|
Brocks Creek is a stratiform, meta-sedimentary hosted quartz-vein type gold deposit, formed in the steeply southeasterly plunging hinge of a tight anticline. The mineralized sequence consists of argillite, often highly carbonaceous near its base, with variable proportions of interbedded greywacke, chert and tuff. There are thin banded iron formation beds near the top of the sequence.
