Practical session - Dr Alan Boyle
Mineral Deposit Geology Practical Session
This session will
look at the formation of
volcanic massive
sulphide (VMS) mineral
deposits. There will be a
short introductory talk
followed by a resource
estimation exercise
(map-based activity) and
an opportunity to use reflected-light microscopy to look at
polished thin sections of a metamorphosed VMS deposit to
investigate textures of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and
magnetite. If time and interest permits, some gold-bearing
non-VMS polished sections will be available.
(This session will be limited to 20 places. To book a
place please contact Maggie Williams.)
