Three-Dimensional and Numerical Modelling--Tools for Assessing Mineral Resource Potential Under Cover

摘要

The northern Drummond and Bowen basins region represents one of Australia's most prospective areas for epithermal vein and stockwork style gold deposits, with both low and high sulfidation cpilhermal mineralisation known in the region (refer Table 1). 3D-GIS reconstructions, numerical and probabilistic modelling (UDEC, FLAC 3D and WofE) are used here to develop a better understanding of the controls operating on the mineral systems of the region and are aimed at enhancing predictive capabilities.
