Mine Scale Constrained Geophysical Inversion; A Case Study at the Darlot-Centenary Gold Mine

“…The Yandal greenstone belt was deformed and metamorphosed in the late Archean volcano-sedimentary succession (4000Ma -2500Ma). The eastern and western contacts are faultbounded characterised by strong deformation with metamorphism to lower amphibole facies and interweaving of granite and greenstone [40,41].

“…The local-scale structure in the Darlot-Centenary system is dominated by brittle-ductile to purely brittle faults that cut across the El Dorado shear [41,42]. These late-tectonic structures can be defined into three broad classes which are:…”

“…(3) this is a steeply dipping fault with a wide range of strikes from north-north-east (NNE) to east-south-east (ESE) and bounded by pairs of the reverse faults e.g. the Adelaide oval, Gabba and Bellerive Faults[40,41].…”

Efficient regional scale 3D potential field geophysical modelling to redefine the geometry of granite bodies beneath prospective, geologically complex, northwest Tasmania

“…The main geological components of complex geological regions can be simplified and modelled in three-dimensions. The rapid development of 3D inversion modelling packages and increases in computing power have made it easier to integrate geophysics and geology into a spatially consistent framework (Monoury et al, 2015). Model construction and refinement can be achieved through the reconciliation of field observations, geophysical interpretation, incorporation of geological data uncertainty and the inclusion of prevailing tectonic evolution (Lindsay et al, 2013).…”
