MAY RIVER-structural interpretation
• Frieda River/May River area contains a number of circular type structures - 1km to 20km diameter.
• Some may relate to regional caldera collapse structures and some collapses above porphyry and/or exposed intrusive bodies or diatreme breccia bodies.
• Horse-Ivaal to Nena trend coincides with NE rim of inner structure, Iku to Skirasia trend coincides with SW rim of outer structure.
