Trip description: The Macquarie Arc has a rich mineral endowment consisting of world-class<br />
porphyry copper–gold deposits as well as other deposit styles. Examine the<br />
nature and geneses of some key deposits (Cadia, Northparkes, Cowal among<br />
others) within the tectonic framework of the evolution and then accretion of the<br />
arc. The Macquarie Arc system records ~50 million years of subduction-related<br />
development along the boundary between east Gondwana and the paleo-Pacific<br />
plate.<br />
