Funded Activity Summary

Geological controls on high-grade oreshoots in the Wallaby gold deposit, Western Australia: Understanding the role of magmatic fluids in an Orogenic Au system. This project aims to understand the geological controls on high-grade (>2 g/t Au) oreshoots at the world-class Wallaby gold deposit (>7 Moz Au). In particular, the role of magmatic fluids in the transport and deposition of gold will be investigated. The Wallaby gold deposit is an ideal natural laboratory to investigate the complex relationship between the geometry and timing of faults, influx of multiple hydrothermal fluid events and the deposition of gold. In particular, the study will investigate the relative importance of intrusion-related, and fault zone-related events in the formation of high-grade ore shoots. The outcomes of this study will include a clear understanding about the timing and relative contribution of magmatic and fault zone related events and their significance to the formation and geometry of high-grade oreshoots.
