Fortuna Villa Presents a Wedderburn Goldfields Ltd Seminar on Geology which can be Applied to Victorian Exploration

Clive Willman MSc – The big structural picture.

Rodney Boucher PhD – How far did my fault move?

Robin Armit PhD, MSEG, MASEG, MAIG, MGSA – Structural geophysics and 3D modelling.

Architecture, stratigraphy, structure and geophysics! Wedderburn Resources presents a short-course that introduces and/or compounds understanding of the geosciences required to unravel a Victorian orogenic gold system from three  demonstrated and accomplished Victorian geologists.


 


About the Speakers

Clive Willman MSc

Clive Willman has specialised in structural geology and mapping, working mainly in Victoria for the past 44 years. He started his career in 1980 at the Wattle Gully mine (Chewton). He later worked on many gold exploration projects, including Bendigo, Stawell, Heathcote, Costerfield, Nagambie, Inglewood, Blackwood, Sebastian, Malmsbury and Wedderburn. Clive joined the Geological Survey of Victoria in 1989 and spent 21 years on the regional mapping team. He completed detailed structural and biostratigraphic mapping of the Bendigo and Castlemaine gold fields and spent over ten years working on the GSV’s 50k map series in eastern Victoria’s high country. Clive was part of the interpretation team for the 2006 deep seismic survey in central Victoria and has contributed to numerous scientific papers and books on Victoria’s geology. Clive was awarded The Selwyn Medal in 2003 for his “major contribution to new
knowledge of the geology of Victoria” and the Stillwell Medal in 2011 as co-author of the “best paper of the year in the Australian Journal of Earth Science”. Clive has produced several geoscience education films for his YouTube channel “Geology Films”.

Rodney Boucher PhD

Plus other conundrums you can solve with stratigraphy. Rodney Boucher has developed expertise in Victorian gold exploration over 25 years and consulted extensively at Fosterville, Bendigo, Ballarat East, North Ballarat, Creswick, Serpentine, St Arnaud, Lockington, Rushworth, across northeastern Victoria in
addition to the Northern Territory, Tasmania, NSW and New Zealand. Linex has consulted for exploration for Cu-Au, base metals and IOCGU exploration in all states in addition to assisting in the first geothermal exploration in the country. Rodney assisted with structural/geophysical studies leading up to the discoveries of Carrapateena (SA) and Constellation (NSW). He regularly runs professional development courses on “Turbidite and sedimentary-hosted ore deposits” for gold explorers nationwide. Rodney has served with the state branch of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) as Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer for over 20 years. He is a member and RPGeo of the AIG and a member of the AusIMM, GSA, SEG and AAPG.

Robin Amit PhD, MSEG, MASEG, MAIG, MGSA

Robin is an earth scientist with an interest in the fields of structural geology, tectonics, geophysics, and geochemistry. He has 16 years of experience in the minerals exploration industry and ten years as a lecturer at Monash University. He routinely conducts project assessments and commodities across the globe. Robin is in his element, undertaking geological interpretation mapping from outcrop, potential-field geophysics, and geochemical data to inform exploration efforts at all scales. Robin received a PhD in geology from Monash University in 2015 and has supervised seven PhD students to completion on projects across the globe and geological epochs. He is on the team developing the next generation of open-source, implicit 3D probabilistic geological and geophysical modelling platform ‘Loop’. Robin is currently working with local and multi-national miners in Brazil, Indonesia, Africa, and Australia’s Precambrian and Phanerozoic terranes.
