Our mission it to resolve the evolution of complex mineral systems though the combination of in-depth petrology and in-situ geochronology while actively promoting and advancing the use of these techniques in ore systems research.
I started my research journey with an Honours project on the Ernest Henry IOCG deposit back in 2018, which set the foundation for a PhD focused on sediment-hosted Zn–Pb–Ag systems in the Mount Isa Inlier, included the Mount Isa, Hilton, George Fisher, and Mount Novit deposits.
Since then, I’ve been lucky to work across a wide range of ore deposit styles, from IOCG systems in the Tennant Creek goldfields, to the Mount Colin ISCG deposit, the Mount Evelyn Pb–Zn–Ag skarn deposit, and now the Carrapateena IOCG deposit. My research is focussed combining petrological observations with various geochemical and geochronological techniques.
I’m passionate about petrology, mineral systems, and providing the industry access to the same specialised geochronological techniques used in university and governmental settings. My broader goals are to improve the literacy around petrology, mineral systems and the various specialised geochronological techniques used to constrain the timing of mineral systems.
