Project title

Genesis of the giant rare-metal pegmatite deposits of the northern Pilbara Craton, Western Australia: Mineral systems analysis and terrane to deposit-scale exploration criteria

Host university

University of Western Australia

Supervisors: Professor Steffen Hagemann, Professor Tony Kemp

Benefit to Western Australia

By delivering understanding of how some pegmatites in the Yilgarn and Pilbara regions developed a mineral endowment rich in rare and valuable metals such as lithium, John’s work will support Western Australian mineral exploration companies in finding the next generation of mineral deposits to secure the future of the industry.
