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 two things, petrology and mineral systems. In particular, using petrology to unravel the formation and evolution of mineral systems. My broader aim is to improve the literacy behind various in-situ analytical techniques that complement petrology, such as geochronology and isotopic analysis, promoting their regular use throughout the mining and exploration industry.
