Blinman Mine, the Orebody

The orebody, consisting of dolomite impregnated with copper minerals, was located in a large sedimentary block in breccia of the Blinman Diapir.

Above water level in the oxidised zone the main copper minerals were cuprite (copper oxide) and malachite (copper carbonate). Below this level the ore consisted of the primary copper sulphides chalcopyrite, bornite and chalcocite.
