Abstract

New high-resolution airborne geophysical data acquired in the Broken Hill Region are being used to assess the deformational history and define the regional structural regime. The interpretation of these data may enable new structural and stratigraphic models to be postulated that will enhance and revitalise the exploration thrust within the Broken Hill Region.
