Abstract

The oxide zones of a number of small historic mines and a large recent open-cut at Mineral Hill in central New South Wales have produced fine specimens of azurite, malachite, cerussite, cuprite and silver halides. Recent studies have revealed that volcanic-hosted mineralisation produced relatively simple secondary mineral assemblage of mainly azurite and malachite whereas sediment-hosted mineralisation yielded a far more complex secondary assemblage of oxide, carbonate, phosphate and sulfate minerals.
