many well-mineralized districts. Similarly,
cross-arc structures or unconformities can
control locations of porphyry and VMS
deposits in an evolving arc, and changes in
deformation style can focus emplacement
of ore-forming magmas or influence the
formation of orogenic gold systems.
This two-day short course will investigate the geological features that control the locations of ore-forming and
ore-focusing processes across a range of
scales from the lithosphere to the drill
bit. The course would be appropriate for
all geologists making exploration decisions, from junior geologists to exploration managers, as well as consultants and
academics wishing to understand more
about ore-focusing processes.
