Cobar region Explorers' Guide
Entitled 'A guide for mineral exploration through the regolith in the Cobar region, Lachlan Orogen, NSW', this guide is designed to assist mineral explorers working in the regolith-dominated terrain if the Cobar area of western NSW. This region is a major metallogenic province with a long history of metal production and remains highly prospective for deposits of copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc. The guide provides a basic introduction to the regolith and landscape history of the area, and advice on exploration strategies and techniques for exploring through the different types of regolith cover.
The guide was produced by Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME).
Copies of the guide are available from the Geological Survey of NSW.
