Collette Pilsworth PhD student in Geological Sciences – Advancing tools and techniques for the exploration of undercover ore deposits

A geochemical and mineralogical study of drill core fracture coatings from the Oberon gold deposit, Northern Territory, Australia. Understanding how elements move around near ore systems and how those signatures are recorded within the surrounding rocks and overburden is very important for reducing the search space in mineral exploration, which in term reduces the cost associated with ore discovery.
