A short course including a case study presentation on the Cayley Lode discovery is being presented by Chris Cairns at University of WA, 20th March 2023.
It is great the Stavely project is of high academic importance to be discussed as a case study for copper-gold deposit porphyry's. Other billion dollar Cu-Au porphyry peer discussions will be on Ok Tedi, Butte and Boddington Cu-Au mine.
Just goes to show how much the stock market is under-valuing the upside potential of the Stavely project given its market capitalisation is only $80 million. IMHO, a porphyry discovery will transform the company into a multi billion dollar miner.
Porphyry Cu-Au Short Course: March 2023
The Centre for Exploration Targeting and Curtin University will run a one-day short course on Porphyry Cu-Au deposits and critical magmatic-hydrothermal processes with Prof. John Dilles our keynote speaker. Prof. Dilles is a Professor Emeritus at Oregon State University in the USA and is presently working at Curtin University as a Fulbright Fellow.
The short course will see a mixture of talks on:
- case studies of porphyry copper-gold deposits (e.g., Ok Tedi, Butte, Boddington, and the newly discovered Cayley lode in Victoria), and
- magmatic-hydrothermal processes that were crucial in the formation of a giant porphyry copper-gold system.
During the afternoon there will be a one-on-one debate between Profs. John Dilles and Bob Loucks (CET Adjunct Professor) on the hotly debated porphyry fertility indicators. A panel (all speakers of the day and some selected industry geologists) plus anybody who wants to contribute from the audience, will discuss the topic “What makes high grade porphyry systems”.
A sundowner back at the CET- Robert Street Building Courtyard will be organised by the joint Curtin-CET student chapter of SEG and SGA. This will give the students the opportunity to mingle with the industry geologists.
