Geochemical techniques for stratigraphic insights from exploration data

Geological Survey of Western Australia

GSWA's  one-day workshop at the Joe Lord Core Library in Kalgoorlie, WA.

Joe Lord Core Library

Register for a free one-day workshop following GSWA Big Day Out 2025.At this workshop, you'll learn about two key geochemical methods: greenstone geochemical barcoding and Yilgarn granite classification. After a short introduction to the science behind these methods, we’ll show you how to use them to understand the layers of rocks (stratigraphy) from real exploration data. We'll also talk about the challenges and limits of these techniques.You’ll get hands-on experience with important rock samples and diamond drill core, seeing up close how different rock types and minerals are identified.Data acquisition was primarily funded by the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).The day will be run by GSWA geoscientists Hugh Smithies, Jack Lowrey, and Alicia Verbeeten, and it promises to be an engaging and practical experience.Registrations are open until 5pm on Friday, 14 March 2025 unless sold out prior.This event is free, but places are limited!
