The city of Broken Hill and its famous line of lode are situated in the centre of a Middle Proterozoic-aged region called the Willyama Complex. This complex is over 200 km wide and straddles the South Australian / NSW state border. The Willyama Complex is divided into three blocks - The western Olary Block, the central Broken Hill Block and the eastern Euriowie Block.
This sub-section of the Broken Hill Block encompasses the area covered by the Broken Hill Block Southwest 1:50000 metallogenic sheet and accompanying publication, produced by the geological survey of NSW.
The Broken Hill Block Southwest covers an area of approximately 300 square kilometres and includes the southern part of the main line of load, the Pinnacles area, Thackaringa and Silverton.
There is an overlap with the Broken Hill Block Southeast and probably should not be included in the locality string.
The coordinates are for the approximate centre of the Block.
The Broken Hill Block Southwest includes the following Pastoral Stations and sub-districts:
Thackaringa Station;
Sterling Vale Station;
Ascot Vale Station; and
Mount George Station.
