NExUS-PD: Ore Textures and Breccias
- NExUS-Professional Development (NExUS-PD) workshops are very proud to be able to offer Roger Taylors highly regarded Ore Textures and Breccias workshop in an online format.
- This classic course introduces the fundamentals of ore texture recognition (Day 1) and the recognition of breccias and breccia components (Day 2).
- The workshop will be co-presented by Dr. Richard Lilly and ore textures from a range of deposits will be reviewed and discussed as case studies as part of this fully updated and revised workshop.
Day 1, Ore Textures (Monday 20th May):
- Session 1: Infill – Recognition. Including channelway recognition, veins
- Session 2: Alteration – Including textures, types, recognition, layer control, overprinting textures
- Session 3: Infill and Alteration in a structural context – Including brittle fracture, dissemination, stockworks, shears. Followed by discussion.
Day 2, Breccias (Tuesday 21st May):
- Session 1 : Overprinting (Paragenesis). Understanding overprinting textures plus breccia intro
- Session 2 : Breccia 1 – Including recognition and field observation principles and breccia components.
- Session 3 : Breccia 2 – Including analysis of classification systems, field approach and exploration overview. Followed by discussion.
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.
