Revised stratigraphic nomenclature and correlation of Early Proterozoic rocks of the Darwin-Katherine region, Northern Territory

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

New stratigraphic names and correlations are given for parts of the Early Proterozoic Pine Creek Geosyncline metasedimentary sequence and overlying felsic volcanics of the Darwin-Katherine region. They have significant implications for the stratigraphic distribution of uranium mineralisation in the Rum Jungle, Alligator Rivers, and South Alligator Valley uranium fields.
