GOLD24 Core yard Kalgoorlie: Six Yilgarn Gold Deposits


GOLD24 Core yard Kalgoorlie: Six Yilgarn Gold Deposits

By Alicia Verbeeten
Tuesday 29 October 2024 at the Joe Lord Core Library

The Yilgarn Craton hosts a wide variety of world-class gold deposits and many smaller deposits in a diverse range of metamorphic,
stratigraphic and structural settings. This hands-on course will examine core including mineralised intersections from at least
six different deposits. Permanent display material, comprising typical lithological components of the full Kalgoorlie
stratigraphy, and highlighting the equivalent stratigraphic positions of several large gold deposits, will also be examined.
Core and the host deposit will be described by local experts and the day coordinated by Alica Verbeeten.

Note: As we will be in a core yard participants may be alcohol and drug tested and required to successfully complete a safety
induction. For the core yard please bring your own steel toe-cap boots, sunhat, long trousers, and long sleeve shirts.
(If traveling from overseas and this is difficult, please email us.)
