Abstract

The study of samples from the McArthur River complex ore deposit (Middle Proterozoic, 1.64 Ga), one of the largest zinc-lead mineral deposits in the world, suggests a possible biogenic origin of sulfides in this deposit and a likelihood that the rocks studied formed in the marine photic zone.
