We’re thrilled to have Shaun Barker the Director of MDRU – Mineral Deposit Research Unit joining us for our coffee session this week to discuss identifying cryptic alteration around carbonate-hosted ore deposits.
In this talk, Shaun will provide a summary of key tools for recognising and quantifying the cryptic alteration associated within carbonate-hosted ore deposits, and the tools available to the explorer to help recognise and vector towards carbonate-hosted ore deposits. A case study will be presented from the Mount Isa Copper deposits.
