Popis: In Duketon, a mafic‐dominated rock sequence surrounds a felsic‐epiclastic rock sequence. D1 L‐S tectonites in the ma = fic‐dominated sequence are absent from the felsic rocks suggesting that these epiclastics were deposited post‐D1, on top of older greenstones. In the older greenstones, the linear shape of the Christmas Well orebody, together with auriferous quartz veins deformed by L‐S tectonites in the mineralised corridor through Hack Well, implies that the D1 fabric‐forming event strongly influenced the shape of the orebodies and probably the timing of mineralisation.
