trends, along with several alteration indices (e.g. AI, CCPI, SI) and the abundance of normative corundum (due to alkali leaching) and quartz.From a regional perspective, geophysical surveys and extensive soil geochemistry has identified numerous targets for exploration. At one location, King North, the local stratigraphy and hydrothermal alteration has been reconstructed through extensive RC drilling, petrography, XRD analysis and whole rock geochemistry. Cu-Au-(Zn) mineralisation has been recognised in quartz-muscovite schists with high normative corundum values, and geochemical halos are consistent with proximity to an undiscovered and overturned VHMS system. The recognition of FIII-affinity, high Zr rhyolites further highlight the prospectivity of the area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
