Regolith-landforms of the Pinnacles 1:25,000 sheet, western NSW: mapping and geochemical characterisation

The majority of the bedrock in the Pinnacles region is covered by transported colluvial, alluvial or aeolian material, and where bedrock is exposed it is weathered and may be difficult to identify. Future discoveries of mineralisation therefore are most likely to be in areas covered by regolith materials. As a result it is important to understand the regolith materials and processes when exploring in these regions for ore deposits
