This interdisciplinary project links geochemistry with crustal-scale fluid migration, aiming to improve mineral exploration success for orogenic gold deposits. In doing so, it intends to provide a more holistic view of gold deposit genesis. This project plans to focus on the Victorian goldfields, which have world-class historic gold production, an existing seismic transect, and a geologic setting that will address key problems in gold deposit genesis. A series of modelling techniques will be used to marry structural and geochemical aspects of gold deposit formation at a scale that has not been previously attempted.

这一跨学科项目将地球化学与地壳尺度的流体运移联系起来，旨在提高造山带金矿床的找矿成功率。通过这样做，它打算提供对金矿成因的更全面的看法。该项目计划将重点放在维多利亚时代的金矿上，那里拥有世界级的历史黄金产量，现有的地震断面，以及将解决金矿成因关键问题的地质环境。将使用一系列模拟技术，以前所未有的规模将金矿形成的结构和地球化学方面结合在一起。
