| Summary: | 4D evolutionary models of ore deposits can be generated by combining multiple geological techniques, including geochronology and isotopic geochemistry, constraining all geological processes within a mineral system. This thesis applies this method to two replacement-type volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits in the Yilgarn Craton, demonstrating the syn-volcanic nature of the Nimbus deposit, the relationship between the Teutonic Bore camp and the Penzance granite, and proposing tracking of seawater paleo-chemistry for exploration of sedimentary sequences.
