Summary This study has shown that helium thermochronology or (U-Th)/He dating is a technique that can be utilised to detect “hot” zircon originating from deep crustal regions. Case studies have…
Summary The objectives of the project were to compile background hydrogeochemical data and to develop reliable regional hydrogeochemical prospectivity maps for mineralization in the Yilgarn Craton. The results showed that…
Summary The project outcomes have resulted in increased understanding of the processes that control high grade gold deposition and application to targeting in the brownfields environment. Work involved site campaigns,…
Summary Mulga foliage collected previously during a water well sampling campaign was prepared into 1281 samples in CSIRO in Kensington WA and analysed for 69 elements using ICP-MS and ICP-OES.…
Summary The role of arsenic has been highlighted as a carrier within hydrothermal fluids. Under specific conditions, such as the presence of arsenic, hydrothermal fluids have the potential to remobilise…
Report title: Greenfields geochemical exploration in a regolith-dominated terrain: The Albany-Fraser Orogen/Yilgarn Craton margin Summary The separation of transported from residual domains was achieved for the north-eastern Albany Fraser Orogen…
Summary The aim of this project was to establish criteria for selection of ground support schemes based on rock mass characteristics and expected energies associated with seismic loadings. The report…
The Challenge The mining process results in the excavation of un-wanted waste rock which is typically stored on-site in large piles that persist long after a mine ceases to operate.…
Full report title: Improved hydrogeochemical exploration in the Northwest Yilgarn Craton: Adding value to underexplored areas Summary Earlier work by the authors had developed hydrogeochemical indicators for lithology, hydrothermal alteration…
Summary The study consisted of two streams, namely the research and the software development. The software mXrap (previously MS-RAP) served as a tool for technological transfer and its functionality greatly…
The Challenge Clays have a widespread and significant economic impact on the processing of minerals. They are increasingly identified as a significant problem in mining, extraction and value adding processes…
The Challenge Acid mist produced during copper production can cause irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory system, and presents a serious occupational health hazard to industry workers. It also…
