Summary of results. Joint NTGS-GA geochronology project: Base metal and tungsten mineralisation, and skarn alteration in the Aileron Province, July 2017-June 2018

This Record presents new SHRIMP U–Pb geochronological results from the Aileron Province obtained during the NTGS–GA geochronology project between July 2017 and June 2018. This project is a contribution to Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Programme, which aims to better understand the mineral, energy and groundwater resources of Northern Australia. The six samples described herein are all locally associated with different examples of skarn alteration and/or base metal or tungsten–molybdenum mineralisation. They were analysed in support of ongoing regional geoscientific investigations and mapping programs by the NTGS. This Record documents detailed results for each sample, encompassing sample location and geological context, a description of the target mineral for geochronology, the relevant analytical data, and a brief geochronological interpretation. A summary of all results from this study is presented in Table 1; the sample locations are shown in Figure 1. Full analytical data and interpretations for each sample, along with analytical session-specific details of the calibration data collected on the reference 238U/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb zircons, are also available via GA’s Geochron Delivery system (http://www.ga.gov.au/geochron-sapub-web/).
