Summary The aim of the project was to use 3D mineral system mapping technologies to translate mineral zoning into thermo-chemical gradients that may be related to the transport and deposition…
The Challenge Large volumes of by-products are produced by mineral processing and related industries in Western Australia every year. These materials could represent valuable commodities for construction, landfill and related…
The Challenge The Panton Sill in WA’s Kimberly region contains a potential resource of 14.32 million tonnes of ore at 2.19 g/t Pt, 2.39 g/t Pd (for an estimated total…
Summary This thesis investigates the evolution of three West Australian Archaean mineral systems through the application of an integrated approach to the analysis of multiple sulfur isotopes. This work constrains…
Summary The objective of the project was to investigate the prospectivity of mafic igneous intrusive rocks in the East Kimberley based on age, internal differentiation and geochemistry of parent magmas,…
Summary This project was conceived to develop and test a new analytical workflow to separate the <2 μm soil and sediment fractions for multi-element analysis along with other, commonly not…
The Challenge Many geochemical investigations have been undertaken across the Halls Creek Orogen, but the utility of these in exploration terms is limited in the absence of uniformity and systematic…
Full report title: Links between basin evolution, crustal-scale architecture, and mineral systems development: an example from the Bresnahan Basin, Capricorn Orogen, Western Australia Summary Evaluation of basin evolution of the…
The Challenge Although known to host world-class mineral deposits, the Eastern Yilgarn Craton and Albany-Fraser Orogen are largely covered by sediments that post-date mineralisation and shield the highly-endowed regional geology…
The Challenge Recent discoveries in the Albany–Fraser region demonstrate the previously under-appreciated potential of high-grade metamorphic rocks to host major ore bodies. Mineralisation in high-grade rocks is associated with different…
Summary The aim of the project was to identify, investigate and characterize the abundance of REE minerals in the samples acquired from the Argyle Diamond Mine. The work done using…
The Challenge Large volumes of potential lithium resource occurs across Western Australia in phyllosilicate minerals (micas), but standard mineral processing techniques cannot produce an economic mineral product from these resources.…
