Coping with Skarns and their relationships to carbonate replacement deposits
- NExUS-Professional Development (NExUS-PD) workshops are very proud to be able to offer Roger Taylor’s classic Coping with Skarns workshop online, co-presented by Dr. Richard Lilly.
- This classic course is a practical guide towards rock recognition, ore textures and structural controls of skarn systems. The updated course will also discuss the relationship between skarns and carbonate replacement systems with case studies and updates on recent research.
- The workshop includes general features and skarn recognition, skarn components, paragenesis, structural controls and discussion on skarn varieties including ‘mafic skarns’.
Day 1: (Monday 29th July)
- General features – Skarn mineral recognition
- Skarn components – Architecture – Exoskarn – Endoskarn – Overprinting-general paragenesis
- Structural controls – Zoning – Detailed Skarn Paragenesis Case Study (Big Gossan, Grasberg)
Day 2: (Tuesday 30th July)
- Carbonate Replacement – Links to Skarn
- Textural Recognition – Recent research – Case Study (Mount Isa / George Fisher Systems)
- Mafic Skarns – Links to IOCG Systems – Case Study (Cloncurry IOCGs and Cannington)
 
Presented by:
Dr. Roger Taylor
Dr Roger Taylor has been involved with the exploration and mining industry for over 60 years operating as a practicing exploration / mine geologist and academic as Director of the Economic Geology Research Unit at James Cook University (1993-1998).
More recent activities include international consulting to numerous global mining companies, further development of a range of professional development courses, and petrological services. Major publications include books on tin deposits, ore textures-breccias, and gossans / leached outcrops. Major interests are magmatic related deposits, including tin, wolfram, porphyry copper, IOCG, and epithermal systems.
Co-Presented by:
Dr. Richard Lilly
Dr. Richard Lilly has over 20 years experience spanning the industry-academia boundary. Working for Mount Isa Mines (2007-2015), and as an Embedded Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, he has coordinated and supervised >70 applied research investigations on a diverse range of ore deposits from North West Queensland to South Australia. He co-founded the National Exploration Undercover School (NExUS) program in 2016 and was named South Australian STEMM educator of the year in 2022.
