Tech Talk: Well-endowed but well in doubt: Recent advances and outstanding questions in high-grade gold formation

Join the Melbourne Branch for their September tech talk: Well-endowed but well in doubt: Recent advances and outstanding questions in high-grade gold formation.

About this event

Ultra-high-grade gold ores are among the most economically significant, yet geologically elusive features of hydrothermal ore systems.

Although the processes that govern gold sourcing, transport, and deposition are quite well established, these models struggle to explain the extreme local enrichments found in coarse native gold-bearing zones.

In this presentation, Speaker Chris R Voisey  will discuss concepts and recent advances in ore genesis to develop a refreshed view of how ultra-high-grade gold forms.
