Iron Oxide Copper-Gold mineral systems workshop
Event Information
Description
A practical workshop for mineral explorers
2 day workshop runs from 8.30am - 4.30pm Monday 2nd, Tuesday 3rd December
South Australia hosts some of the world’s most significant iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits. Since the discovery of Olympic Dam, IOCG deposits have been recognised elsewhere in the Gawler Craton and in a number of terranes world-wide. Our understanding of IOCG systems have been developed over many years of research and discovery.
This workshop aims to discuss current understanding of these mineral systems, bringing together local and international examples. Specific focus will include
- Alteration facies and their application to mapping the mineral system
- Lithospheric to deposit scale footprints
- Key deposit characteristics
Keynote speakers will include Dr Louise Corriveau, Geological Survey of Canada. An expert in mineral assemblages related to alteration, Louise brings a wealth of knowledge on progressive alteration related to IOCG systems from her extensive work in the Great Bear province, Canada.
On display: Drill core covering the range of South Australia’s IOCG deposits including a major showcase of drill core from Olympic Dam.
