Ores in Magmatic Arcs KEA707
Introduction
Intensive two-week field-based unit taught entirely in either Indonesia or South America (Chile and Peru). Unit includes visits to world-class porphyry and epithermal deposits and (in South America only) IOCG deposits. Unit explains the regional and local geology of the various districts visited, along with detailed evaluations of ore deposit characteristics, mineralisation styles and genetic models. Exploration techniques for porphyry and epithermal deposits are discussed in detail and recent exploration results are evaluated in terms of various genetic models.
