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...

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...
