Utilising U-PB zircon CA-IDTIMS dating to precisely recalibrate the Permian-Early Triassic palynozones of Australia

Refined Chemical Abrasion-Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) provides unprecedented analytical precision for dating zircons recovered from air-fall tuffs. This allows chronometric anchor points to be established for fossil biotas recovered from th...

The role of strategic consulting in the resources industries of Australia and Indonesia

The Central African Copperbelt

This talk addresses changes in ideas of the genesis of the Central African Copperbelt, several important unanswered questions, and as Haddon King would have liked observations that may break down some paradigms.

The use of radiogenic isotopes (Pb and Nd) in metallogenicstudies: examples from Australia and Canada

Isotopic evidence for the influence of Pacific-type crust is present in western Tasmania, the Macquarie “Arc” and the southern part of the New England Orogen. Because the lead isotopic signature of western Tasmania (Pacific-type lead) is different to that of western...

Hydrothermal fluid sources for magnetite and hematite ore bodies in the Weld Range iron camp

This talk presents key alteration relationships at the Weld Range iron camp in the Murchison Domain of Western Australia and describes the analytical steps taken to address these questions, including the integration of whole rock and mineral geochemical data, fluid inclusion st...

Using scenarios to understand copper mining

The work starts from the point that effective exploration targeting for copper requires an understanding of the future of copper mining. However, as the copper industry faces ever-greater economic, technical, environmental and social challenges, the characteristics of the coppe...
