I was happy to see that a document with “Extended Abstracts” are already out for the Gold18@Perth symposium that is starting today (where Novo among others will be presenting)!

 

  • It will take some time to cover everything but I just had to comment on this slide:

 

findings

Recent findings.

 

  • Whatever the source was that created the basin wide gold event which later got deposited in the Fortescue Basin, again on a seemingly basin wide scale, there was apparently an “enriching event” after that!
  • The clouds of fine gold, as well as the at least outer layer of the nuggets, got precipitated in a marine environment.
  • There was carbonaceous material found IN the gold cloud.
  • The gold associated with the tuffaceous horizon have “undergone significant dissolution of this secondary gold”

 

BASICALLY: THE GOLD THAT GOT DEPOSITED ON A BASIN WIDE SCALE ATTRACTED MORE GOLD, WHICH MEANS THAT THE FIRST MAJOR GOLD EVENT WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER MAJOR GOLD EVENT IN SITU…!

(Makes me think about: “It’s better, it’s bigger”.)
