Funded Activity Summary

Genetic and chemical characterisation of the pristine Archean Jaguar base-metal deposit, to improve local and global prospectivity. Jaguar is a remarkably pristine finely banded submarine volcanic hosted base-metals-silver deposit from the Australian Archean, ~2.7 billion years old. We will document its detailed ore and volcanic textures, gaining valuable new genetic insights from its extraordinary preservation. With an emerging mining company in regional Western Australia, we will combine forensic textural studies with advanced geochemical analysis to (1) determine the deposit origin; (2) infer the origin of other well laminated but less well preserved deposits globally; (3) apply these findings to the detection of local prospective horizons under deep cover; and (4) use the deposit features to test current models of massive sulfide formation.
