The Mount Read Volcanics is a Cambrian volcanic beltinWestern Tasmania.
It is a complex belt due to folding, faulting and a range of tectonic events.
Between 1986 and 1993 a project to research and map the belt was conducted.[1][2]
The component regions within the belt were identified in separate maps:[3]
Geological conferences in Australia and Tasmania have had symposiums and excursions to consider aspects of the phenomenon:
It is a productive mineralised belt that has had profitable copper-silver and gold production of Mount Lyell, Rosebery, and Henty Gold Mine, as well as numerous smaller sites of prospective mineralisation along the West Coast Range.
