Addressing challenges with exploration datasets to generate usable mineral potential maps

Mineral potential mapping using GIS can pose many challenges in terms of data availability (eg. non-existent information, lack of digital data, limited understanding of mineral system) and data quality (eg. inaccurate locations or attributes, inhomogeneous mapping detail, incom...

Nickel mineral systems within an evolving Archean Craton

Nickel mineral systems in the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia are hosted by komatiites which cluster in space and time. At ~2.9 Ga, komatiite-hosted nickel systems are concentrated in the southern Youanmi Terrane, whereas at 2.7 Ga deposits are primarily located in...

Laser ablation ICP-MS analysis of ruthenium in chromite — a new tool in the exploration for komatiite-hosted nickel-sulphide deposits

Komatiites contain some of the world’s highest-grade nickel-sulphide deposits. Accordingly, the development of reliable prospectivity indicators to guide exploration towards mineralised komatiite units has been a long-standing goal. Specifically, the development of effect...

Prospectivity mapping for multi-stage epithermal gold mineralization in Argentina

Three distinct periods of epithermal-style Au-Ag mineralization are defined in Argentina. A low sulfidation epithermal mineralization event in the Permo-Triassic occurred along the eastern margin of the Cordillera Frontal in the San Juan province, which hosts among others the C...

Mineralogy and geochemistry of Neoproterozoic granites in the Telfer region, Paterson Orogen, Western Australia

The Telfer area in the Paterson Orogen of Western Australia is relatively unique in Australia because of the presence of late Neoproterozoic granites (e.g., the Mount Crofton, Minyari, Wilki and O’Callaghans granites) that have intruded metamorphosed sedimentary rocks aro...

Metamorphic microstructures in komatiite hosted-Ni sulphides from the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

Most Western Australian komatiite-hosted nickel-sulphide deposits have undergone variable degrees of metamorphism. In this study, we investigated microstructures in massive nickel-sulphides from high- and lowgrade metamorphic rocks by combining optical microscopy, electron back...

The first multiple sulphur isotope evidence for a 2.9 Ga Mesoarchean sulphate reservoir linked to a major volcanic event

The relationship between the evolution of Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere during the Archean and helping life start are important and mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of multipe sulphur
isotopes caused by ultrviolet photolysis of atmospheric SO2 is a key cont...

Geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb, and zircon Hf-O isotopes of Cenozoic K-adakitic and shoshonitic granitoid rocks in Western Yunnan, SW China: Petrogenesis and tectonic implications

Coeval and cospatial shoshonitic and K-adakitic felsic intrusions (37-32Ma) are recognized in western Yunnan, SW China. Shoshonitic syenites and quartz monzonites have high K2O (4.9-6.8 wt%) and K2O/Na2O (1.1-1.7), enriched LREE and LILE, and depleted Nb, Ta, Ti, P with high Y...

Laser ablation ICP-MS analysis of ruthenium in chromite — a new tool in the exploration for komatiite-hosted nickel-sulphide deposits

We utilised laser ablation ICP-MS to measure the ruthenium (Ru) concentrations of more than 390 chromite grains from barren and mineralised komatiites from the Yilgarn Craton ofWestern Australia and the Finnish part of the Fennoscandian Shield.
