Caroline Perring, BHP
Caroline Perring was educated at Cambridge University and the Royal School of Mines, but has spent most of her career working in the Archaean Yilgarn craton of Western Australia. She completed a PhD at the University of Western Australia, in the field of mesothermal Au mineralisation, before joining CSIRO. Apart from a brief stint at James Cook University, working on Fe-oxide Cu-Au deposits, she spent the next 25 years studying magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation and komatiite volcanism, latterly with Western Mining Corporation and then BHP Billiton Nickel West. While at Nickel West she was fortunate to be part of the team that discovered the Venus deposit. She is now a Principal Geologist with BHP’s WA Iron Ore division.
