The largest of a number of iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits in the Cloncurry district.
Located about 25 km NE of Cloncurry.
The Ernest Henry orebody is hosted in metaandesite rocks, interpreted as the temporal equivalent of the Mount Fort Constantine metavolcanics (~1745 Ma). This unit is primarily composed of euhedral plagioclase phenocrysts (45%–85%) set in a fine-grained groundmass of biotite (5%–30%), magnetite (5%–20%), and quartz (>5%), with minor apatite, K-feldspar, and amphibole. A variety of porphyritic, glomeroporphyritic, seriate, and non-porphyritic igneous textures are preserved in this unit. The metaandesite is intercalated with multiple metasedimentary units consisting of biotite and muscovite-rich schists, banded scapolitic calc-silicate rocks, biotite and muscovite-rich psammite, and graphitic schist.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Mesoproterozoic : 1538 ± 37 Ma to 1464 ± 2 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
