Regional Metallogenic to Local Controls on Circum-Pacific Gold and Copper Deposits

Australian Institute of Geoscientists > Education > Regional Metallogenic to Local Controls on Circum-Pacific Gold and Copper Deposits

Regional Metallogenic to Local Controls on Circum-Pacific Gold and Copper Deposits is a short course to be presented prior to PACRIM 2015 (Workshop W2).  This one-day workshop will be held at the Conrad Hotel in Hong Kong, China on the 17th of March, 2015.  The course will be of particular interest to geoscientists seeking to broaden their understanding of ore-forming processes and who wish to explore for gold and copper deposits in the circum-Pacific region.

The workshop will consist of two parts. The first, presented by Steve Garwin, is titled Tectonic and Structural Controls to Gold and Copper Mineralization in the Circum-Pacific Region. This presentation will consist of three main topics:

  1. Tectonic and regional structural controls for gold and copper mineralization in the Southeast Asia – Western Pacific and Peruvian Andes
  2. Examples of district- and deposit-scale controls to porphyry and epithermal deposits in Indonesia, Japan and Peru
  3. Controls to Carlin-type deposits in northern Nevada, USA and Guizhou Province, China.

The second part of the course, presented by Craig Hart, is titled Intrusion-related Gold Metallogeny. This presentation will consist of three main topics:

  1. Intrusion-related gold systems and classifications, with an emphasis on Alaska and the Yukon
  2. Redox controls on intrusion-related metallogeny
  3. Controlling features of mineralizing intrusions.
