The oxidized ores of the Main Sulfide Zone, Great Dyke, Zimbabwe: Turning resources into minable reserves – mineralogy is the key.

Near-surface oxidized platinum-group element (PGE) ores have a great potential. However, all attempts to extract the PGE from this ore type proved uneconomic due to low PGE recoveries. This paper gives an overview on options and recent advances regarding the recovery of the PGE...

Mapping from an Armchair: Rapid, High-Resolution Mapping Using UAV and Computer Vision Technology

Here, we describe the deployment of a UAV to survey outcrop in ultra-high resolution using a standard small format digital camera, combined with the novel application of computer vision techniques to both process the data and semi-automatically map from the imagery.

The geological setting and petrography of the O’Callaghans granite and W skarn mineralization in the Telfer area, Paterson Orogen, Western Australia

The O’Callaghans granite (OCG) and associated skarn deposit are situated in the Paterson Orogen, Western Australia, about 1300 km north-northeast of Perth. The OCG is part of a series of Neoproterozoic I-type intrusions (e.g., the Mount Crofton, Wilki, Minyari and O&rsquo...

Geochemistry of a komatiitic, boninitic, and tholeiitic basalt association in the Mesoarchean Koolyanobbing greenstone belt, Southern Cross Domain, Yilgarn craton: Implications for mantle sources and geodynamic setting of banded iron formation

Komatiite–basalt magmatism and Algoma-type banded iron formation (BIF) of Archean greenstone terranes have common time series, but there are few constraints on the geodynamic setting in which BIF were precipitated. The ∼3.0 Ga Koolyanobbing greenstone belt (...

Where Are Australia’s Mines of Tomorrow?

The paper primarily reviews the latest available mineral exploration statistical information provided by the Metals Economics Group (MEG), by MinEx Consulting and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (2012). It also reviews the survey of mining companies’ perceptions...

Multiple Sulfur and Iron Isotope Composition of Magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) Sulfide Mineralization from Eastern Botswana

We report here high-precision multiple sulfur and iron isotope compositions for a series of mineralized samples from Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits in the Archean Tati greenstone belt and the Phikwe Complex of eastern Botswana.

Maggie Hays Ni Deposit: Part 2. Nickel Mineralization and the Spatial Distribution of PGE Ore-Forming Signatures in the Maggie Hays Ni System, Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt, Western Australia

The Maggie Hays Ni-‐Cu sulfide deposit, located in the ~2.9 Ga Lake Johnston greenstone belt of Western Australia, is hosted in a peridotitic to dunitic subvolcanic feeder that cuts felsic volcanic rocks and sedimentary units. Ore formation at Maggie Hays is attributed to assi...

Maggie Hays Ni Deposit: Part 1. Stratigraphic Controls on the Style of Komatiite Emplacement in the 2.9 Ga Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

Komatiites occur in many Archean greenstone belts and host significant Ni sulfide ore deposits. Establishing the stratigraphy and the control that stratigraphy has on the emplacement and morphology of ultramafic magmatism is crucial in understanding Archean geodynamic environme...

District to Camp Controls on the Genesis of Komatiite-Hosted Nickel Sulfide Deposits, Agnew-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, Western Australia: Insights from the Multiple Sulfur Isotopes

The Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt of Western Australia is the largest komatiite-hosted nickel sulfide belt in the world and contains two world-class Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits and a host of smaller deposits. This study focuses on the broader scale geology of this greenstone belt in or...

Preliminary results from fluid inclusion petrography and microthermometry on quartz and calcite from different types of orebodies at the Telfer Au-Cu deposit, Paterson Orogen, Western Australia

There is no detailed information on the P-T-X conditions of the ore forming fluids available on the different orebody types at Telfer and the surrounding satellite prospects. This study will also help to understand the possible fluid and metal source (s) (e.g. surrounding grani...
