Deformational controls on the dynamics of fluid flow, hydrothermal alteration and gold mineralisation, Argo Gold deposit, WA

详细的结构分析，结合主量和微量元素地球化学和稳定同位素地球化学，将用于探索Argo剪切型金存款中流体通道的三维演化及其与剪切带生长、脉网和蚀变模式的关系。该研究将用于（1）最大限度地提高资源定义和提取的效率，（2）完善资源勘探模型，（3）探索剪切带中金矿化过程的动力学，以及（4）推进对变形，流体流动和流体-岩石反应之间的耦合如何影响地壳力学行为的理解。

Detailed structural analysis, combined with major and trace element geochemistry and stable isotope geochemistry, will be used to explore the 3D evolution of fluid pathways and their relationship to growth of shear zones, vein networks and alteration patterns in the Argo shear-hosted gold deposit. The research will be used to (1) maximise the efficiency of resource definition and extraction, (2) refine resource exploration models, (3) explore the dynamics of gold mineralisation processes in shear zones, and (4) advance understanding of how coupling between deformation, fluid flow, and fluid-rock reaction influence the mechanical behaviour of the Earth's crust.
