Observable crustal controls on hydrothermal activity in the Olympic Cu-Au province
This work presents a "snapshot" of research into the crustal architecture around the Olympic Dam Iron Oxide Cu-Au deposit, and makes some preliminary inferences on the fault... -
Alteration vectors to Olympic Dam-style and Ernest Henry-style Cu-Au...
Copper-gold mineralisation in the Moonta-Wallaroo district of the south-eastern Gawler Craton is associated with regionally extensive magmatism and Na-Fe-K metasomatism, typical... -
The Gawler Project, and a framework for discovery of Cu, Au and Ni deposits
We are developing a Geographic Information System (GIS) for use by participants in the Central Gawler Gold (CGG) Sub-Project (GA, PIRSA and CRC LEME). It complements existing... -
New constraints unifying Au mineralised systems in the central Gawler...
New reconnaissance studies of Au mineralisation, alteration, geochronology, and palaeo-fluids in the central Gawler Craton support the existence of a major Au metallogenic... -
Uranium mineral systems: ore-forming processes and relationships among deposit types
Shared geological and geochemical processes are involved in the formation of particular groups of uranium deposits. Three families of uranium mineral systems are recognised:... -
