This series of projects with industry partners investigates the geochemical, mineralogical and sedimentology of the Tanami Group to provide a tool for gold exploration.
In this project we conducted a detailed study on one newly discovered Pilbara conglomerate Au deposit at the base of the Neoarchean Fortescue Group in the northwestern Pilbara craton.
