	Rimfire Pacific Mining NL - Bingara
		Rimfire's exploration techniques utilize new high-resolution geophysical imagery, supported by detailed field sampling (stream sediment, bulk and loam) and drilling; together with applying geological concepts derived from cutting edge research by geologists from the NSW Department of Mineral Resources, Australian Museum and Macquarie University.
		Conventional theorists arguie that such a source cannot exist because the crust is too thin to support temperatures and pressures which could attain the diamond stability field.
		However, at Penarie, 300 km to the west of Bingara, drilling by RTZ recovered 3 diamonds from a basaltic diatreme

	Garnets, Diamonds, Diatremes and Subduction at Bingara - Jane Barron et. al.
		Abundant angular (proximal) garnet is widespread in the modern drainage south of Bingara, and forms the most important “indicator”of eclogitic diamond that is independent of ubiquitous diaggregated spinel lherzolite minerals from mantle xenoliths.
		The REE patterns further suggest that the low Cr-pyrope garnets are Mg-rich eclogite compositions derived from picritic oceanic protolith, while the euhedral andradite garnets are related to hydrothermal alteration of serpentinised dunite along the Peel Fault zone.
		The latter confirms a sparse ophiolitic contribution to the Bingara samples.

		First stop is a small town called Bingara, where she discovers a completely novel way of surfing...
		The Oz bus is excellent at sorting your accommodation, helping with an itinerary and any trips you're interested in, but I did wish some of these stops weren't compulsory as our time was short enough.
		That night in the pub was pretty quiet and Bingara definitely isn't a party town, but I'd had such a good time riding that I almost regretted that we were heading on the next morning.

		Their occurrence overlying Phanerozoic basement terranes of the Tasmanide Orogen, raises the possibility that they may have a younger eastern Australian lithospheric origin, thus potentially identifying new environments for diamond formation and preservation.
		This study investigates the nature and origin/s of alluvial diamonds from Wellington, NSW and 350 km north at Bingara, NSW, by characterising the diamonds on the basis of their morphological features, mineral inclusions, carbon isotopes, internal structures, nitrogen contents and nitrogen aggregation states.
		Diamonds at Wellington and Bingara are of two types, here termed group A and B. At Wellington, group A diamonds dominate in the ratio of 4:1, while at Bingara, the population is essentially of the B type.

		My further reply that I would have liked Bingara Mayo's Son somewhat better if he had managed to bite either a copper at the C.I.B. conference or Ita Buttrose, didn't go down to well, so without further ado, we adjourned to the pub for a couple of rums.
		I was at a country gathering the other day, having yet again failed to induce Bingara Mayo's Son the delights of ute travel, when a kid of about fourteen strolled up to me and asked for a smoke.

	Rimfire Pacific Mining NL - Bingara Project Presentation
		It should be noted that there has been a number of exploration programmes run by major diamond exploration companies with, on occasion, very significant results.
		For example, CRA drilled a diatreme in 1997 at Pinari to the west of Bingara and identified 3 diamonds [or diamond fragments] but discounted the discovery as POSSIBLY being due to contamination and in any event most likely being SUB-ECONOMIC.
		Heavy metal separation resulted in a number of garnets and included the Bingara 0.265ct diamond from Tom and Jerry and orange eclogite garnets.

		Some however might say it has little to distinguish it from neighbouring towns, so why is that Bingara and not the other towns attract backpackers seeking a true Australian experience.

	Garnets, Diamonds, Diatremes and Subduction at Bingara - B. JANE BARRON, L.M. BARRON & G. DUNCAN
		A variety of post subduction alkaline igneous rocks and many diatremes (several reported as diamondiferous), as well as obducted blocks (mainly along the 1200km long Peel-Yarrol Fault zone) could have delivered diamonds and related indicator minerals to the surface.
		In terms of Ca-Mg-Fe the Bingara garnets, form a large population that ranges from Cr-poor pyrope through Mg-rich almandine-pyrope to Fe-rich almandine and even Fe-Mn almandine-spessartine compositions.
		Bingara garnet chemistry indicates a variety of igneous protoliths and metamorphic grades, and proves that a high pressure- (HP) to ultrahigh- pressure (UHP) eclogitic terrane at depth has been sampled by igneous intrusions, independent of the ophiolite at the surface.
