Craton-scale controls and time-space distribution of IOCG and gold systems...
This talk outlines three key regional geological features considered to be essential for development of major iron oxide copper-gold systems in the Gawler Craton. They are as... -
Large-scale exploration targeting for uranium mineral systems within the...
The Eromanga Basin has the potential to contain significant sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation. Publicly available geophysical and geochemical datasets have been integrated... -
Are there any sandstone-hosted uranium systems in the Eromanga Basin?
As part of Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program the authors have investigated whether there is any evidence that a sandstone hosted uranium system has operated... -
Macro-scale targeting of magmatic-related uranium mineral systems
Uranium-rich igneous rocks are recognised as an important source of metals in uranium mineral systems. Magmatic-related uranium mineralisation may be orthomagmatic in origin,... -
Crustal setting of the Olympic Cu-Au province
Deep seismic reflection profiles and potential-field data show that the crustal architecture of the Olympic Cu-Au province in the vicinity of the giant Olympic Dam deposit is... -
New Insights from Key Proterozoic Mineral Provinces
Paper presented at the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) National Mining Congress 2007, 7-8 June 2007, Perth Convention Centre, Western Australia. Ore... -
40Ar/39Ar ages from sericitic alteration in central Gawler gold prospects:...
This report presents results of a reconnaissance-scale 40Ar/39Ar geochronological study of gold prospects in the central Gawler Craton. Prospects included in the study were:... -
Towards discriminating Cu-Au mineralised from barren hydrothermal systems...
This talk was presented at the Gawler Craton 2002: State of Play conference held in Adelaide, December 2002. -
Towards a tectonic framework for the Gawler Craton
The tectonic evolution of the Gawler Craton is defined by two periods of tectonism both of which lead to apparent cratonisation. Megacycle 1 developed during the period 2550 Ma... -
A New Radiometric Map and Data Set for Australia: Implications for Uranium...
In February 2009, Geoscience Australia released a new national radiometric map and dataset. This improved radiometric map, shows the distribution of potassium (K), uranium (U)... -
Australian Mineral Exploration: Sunshine after Storms?
Although exploration is languishing at a 20 year low, the outlook is the best for five years. Metal prices are forecast to improve over the next several years. Australia remains... -
Regional guides to mineralisation in the Olympic Cu-Au province
The Olympic Cu-Au province is an early Mesoproterozoic (~1570-1600 Ma) metallogenic belt along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton, containing the Olympic Dam and Prominent... -
Unconformity-Related Uranium Systems: Regional Scale Constraints
The presentation covers the following: - uranium occurrences widely distributed but Major Deposits are localised in specific zones/fields - > 90% of U resources confined to... -
New central Gawler gold HyLogger results - Preliminary results from the...
The HyLogger hyperspectral core-mapping instrument, developed by CSIRO's Mineral Mapping Technologies Group (MMTG), can log up to 1000 m of core per day (more for chips) and has... -
