  • Infill – recognition
  • Alteration – textures / types / recognition
  • Channelway recognition – igneous background, brittle fracture / disseminated through stockworks, veins, shears, layer control to major breccia (various styles)
  • Alteration – textures / types / recognition
  • Overprinting textures – timing / paragenesis

MINERALISED BRECCIAS

  • General recognition – field observational principles
  • Understanding breccia components
  • Analysis of classification systems
  • Tectonic, collapse and various intrusive styles. Field approach
  • Breccias in hydrothermal systems – epithermal, diatreme, porphyry hydrothermal intrusive
  • Exploration overview

The course will be presented with illustrative hand specimens which are integrated with the lecture materials.

Dr Roger Taylor has been involved with the exploration industry for over 40 years operating as a practicing exploration/ mine geologist and academic (Director- Economic Geology Research Unit, James Cook University (1993-1998)). More recent activities include general international consulting to numerous mining companies, further development of a range of professional development courses, and petrological services. Major publications include books on tin deposits, ore textures-breccias, and gossans/ leached outcrops. Major interests are magmatic related deposits, including tin, wolfram, porphyry copper, IOCG, and epithermal systems.
