Induced polarisation characteristics of gold mineralisation

Summary

The induced polarisation (IP) characteristics of gold mineralisation were examined at three sites in the Eastern Goldfields.

The deposits surveyed covered a range of host rock types and oxidation states, viz: Panglo (supergene gold), Paddington One (sulphide ore), Paddington Two (oxidised ore) and Granny Smith (both fresh and oxidised, sediment-hosted and intrusive-hosted, ore).
