Thursday November 7th, 2019
Registration from 8:30am
9:00am start
Macedon Spa Resort
652 Black Forest Dr, Macedon VIC 3440
This 1-day workshop will involve a review of publicly available geochemical and mineralogical data from representative central Victorian gold deposits, including Bendigo, Ballarat, Fosterville, Castlemaine, Costerfield, Maldon and Wildwood. Emphasis will be placed on the identification of alteration zones surrounding the deposits and key geochemical and mineralogical indicators that can provide an indication of direction and distance towards mineralised structures. Participants will need to bring a laptop computer with them and download a trial version of ioGAS geochemical assessment software immediately before the workshop (trial version is time-limited and restricted to one installation per computer). A series of presentations introducing concepts and data sets will be interspersed with hands-on interpretation of integrated drill hole and surface rock chip data sets containing geochemical and mineralogical (quantitative XRD, hyperspectral, field staining) data from various central Victorian goldfields. A brief introduction to exploratory data analysis (EDA) using ioGAS will be provided.
This event is the pre-conference workshop prior to Victoria Mineral’s Round Up Conference – Friday 8th November, 2019. (Click here for more information on the conference or to register)
