Hello Marcin,

Actually, I don't guess either is correct any longer. From my website:

Under the taxonomic revision of the IAB complex by Wasson and Kallemeyn
(2002), both Mundrabilla and Waterville plot near the low-Au, low-Ni
subgroup (sLL) with slight deviations. They also share very high (6x)
FeS contents, and are therefore considered to be ungrouped members
constituting a duo of the IAB complex.

In other words, it is in the IAB complex, Mundrabilla duo.
