DOI: 10.1007/s00126-019-00896-2
Abstract: The IOCG deposit at Olympic Dam (South Australia) is hosted within the Roxby Downs Granite, which displays a weakly mineralised contact to the orebody (hereafter ‘outer shell’). In a mineralogical-geochemical characterisation of Fe-oxides from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2017.02.013
Abstract: Two groups of mafic to ultramafic lithologies occur at the Olympic Dam copper-uranium-gold-silver deposit, South Australia. The first group consists of olivine-phyric basalt and mafic dykes belonging to the ca. 1590 Ma Gawler Range Volcanics; the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2017.08.002
Abstract: The supergiant Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au-Ag deposit is hosted by the Olympic Dam Breccia Complex within a ca. 1.59 Ga granite. The breccia complex is largely granite-derived but also includes volcanic clasts and domains of bedded… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/min8080342
Abstract: Trace element signatures in apatite are used to study hydrothermal processes due to the ability of this mineral to chemically record and preserve the impact of individual hydrothermal events. Interpretation of rare earth element (REE)-signatures… read more here.

DOI: 10.5382/econgeo.2017.4520
Abstract: The Olympic Dam iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG)-uranium-silver deposit (South Australia) is hosted in the large Olympic Dam breccia complex within the ~1.59 Ga Roxby Downs Granite. This breccia complex formed through multiple stages of hydrothermal… read more here.
