The Mineral Systems approach attempts to view the spatial and temporal distribution of ore deposits by relating the processes that control the source, transport, and deposition of metals and other commodities to the evolving structure of Earth’s crust and mantle. The change from searching for specific types of mineralisation to understanding aspects of hydrothermal or magmatic architecture at different scales presents new challenges and perspectives for acquiring, processing and interpreting geophysical data.
For this TeamWA Workshop we have invited a series of talks by expert geophysicists who address this topic by presenting advances in methods, and case studies. Barry Bourne from Terra Resources presented, “Geophysical Exploration for Gold: Regional to Mine Scale Targeting”.
