Description:
Integration of geological, geophysical and geochemical information across a range of scales has been a massive enabler over the last 20 years contributing to a more holistic understanding of mineral systems and their attendant ore deposits. In terms of continental evolution, we now recognise the critical role of the interaction between the global geodynamic system (including plate tectonics) and the Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM). Partitioning of deformation, and the development of translithospheric structures, provide a focus for heat, magma and volatile transfer from the convecting mantle to the upper crustal environment. These processes leave geophysical and geochemical signatures in the SCLM that can be imaged using surface techniques, and all world-class deposits, and many other deposits are known to have anomalous mantle beneath them. Thus, broad scale geophysical and geochemical methods can be used for regional scale targetting of prospective areas, especially in regions of thick cover. Understanding the role of prior “fertilising” processes coupled with an ability to recognise key geodynamic triggers, means that mineral systems concepts can be systematically applied to maps of lithospheric architecture to generate opportunities for a breakthrough capability in mineral deposit discovery.
