“…The occurrence of copper at Moke Creek, in western Otago, has been reported by Hutton and Ulrich (1875), Finlayson (1908), Park (1909), and Hutton (1934). It occurs as sulphides within a greenschist formation that crops out in the banks of Moke Creek, 12 miles north-west of Queenstown (Wood, 1962).…”

Results of geochemical prospecting surveys for copper in the Moke 'Creek area, the Shotover district, and the Skippers Creek area of west Otago are presented. Copper in soils was found to be contained almost entirely within the finest fractions, and to be associated mainly with clastic chlorite. Anomalies in soils indicate that the cupriferous sulphide laminae of the Moke Creek Copper Lode extend beneath the soil at least 500 ft southward from the most southerly prospect pits, but the lack of anomalies to the north indicates that the copper lode does not extend much beyond Moke Creek. The source rocks of a cupriferous boulder found in the Shotover River may be a greenschist band in Ironstone Creek, with which are associated soil and water anomalies. Additional anomalies were found during a reconnaissance hydrochemical survey of the upper Shotover drainage system. The absence of strong geochemical anomalies in the Skippers Creek area suggests that cupriferous schist at Skippers Point does not extend into that area.

“…He made the vital distinction between the Nelson and the Otago Alpine schists, considering the Nelson schist to be Ordovician, and the Otago schist to grade into Maitai (Triassic-Jurassic) sediments. By contrast, F. W. Hutton (1875) in particular had considered that unconformity existed between the Kakanui and Kaikoura formations, and probably also between the Kaikoura and Maitai. Marshall's view was not accepted by Morgan (1915b) in considering the schist of Lawrence and Waipori to be Upper Paleozoic-if they graded up into Mesozoic then they themselves were likely to be Upper Paleozoic (1919b).…”

“…The northern part of Stewart Island was shown to consist of granite, gneiss, and diabase. Hutton and Ulrich (1875) referred the Fiordland rocks to a new Manapouri Formation, composed chiefly of syenite gneiss, granite schist, and serpentine schist at Anita Bay, and limestone. The Fiordland VOL.…”

“…Williamson (1939) subdivided the metamorphic rocks into three units, with the Wanaka Series of Hutton (1875) at the base, equivalent to Hector's lower two divisions, followed by the Kakanui Series, or upper division of Hector's foliated schist, mainly of Chlorite 2 and 3. The upper part of Hutton's Kakanui was split off into the Waihemo Series, of finegrained greywacke continuing into the beds mapped as Te Anau by McKay (1884a).…”
