The application of methods and techniques of geochemistry, such as soil and rock<br />

sampling, in the search for minerals.<br />

The exploration of an area in which physical properties (e.g., resistivity,<br />

conductivity, magnetic properties) unique to the rocks in the area are<br />

quantitatively measured by one or more geophysical methods.<br />

Rust coloured oxidised or weathered capping or staining of a mineral deposit<br />

generally formed by the decomposition of metallic sulphides.<br />

Quantity of gold or other metal per unit weight of host rock or sample.<br />

Coarse grained igneous crystalline rock with a high silica content.<br />

Mineral exploration program in an area not previously tested for the mineral<br />

sought or exploration undertaken before drilling targets have been identified.<br />

Survey in which measurements are made of the earth’s gravity. The differences<br />

between measured and theoretical gravity values are used to plot gravity highs<br />

and lows.<br />

Field term for any fine grained mafic igneous rock.<br />

Sedimentary rock composed of fragments which are poorly sorted with respect to<br />

size and shape.<br />

Minerals with a high specific gravity.<br />

Rock containing mineralisation.<br />

The alteration of rocks caused by circulating fluids.<br />

Gold deposited from hot fluids.<br />

Rocks formed by solidification from the molten state.<br />

A general name for a group of clay minerals intermediate in composition and<br />

structure between muscovite and montmorillonite.<br />

An iron-black, opaque mineral, the principal ore of titanium and the principal<br />

component of heavy mineral sands deposits.<br />

A resource sampled by drill holes, underground openings, or other sampling<br />

procedures at locations too widely spaced to ensure continuity but close enough<br />

to give a reasonable indication of continuity on geological evidence.<br />

An estimate of the extent of mineralisation, inferred from the broad geological<br />

character such as drill holes, underground openings, or other sampling<br />

procedures and before testing and sampling information is sufficient.<br />

Occurring between beds.<br />

Portion of a drill hole which passes through mineralisation or a feature of<br />

exploration interest.<br />

Situated within a stable continental region.<br />

A rock that has intruded previously existing rocks.<br />

Method of ground geophysical surveying which employs the passing of an<br />

electrical current into the ground to test for indications of conductive metallic<br />

sulphides.<br />

The Australian code for reporting of mineral resources and ore reserves.<br />

Brecciated ultrabasic rock of distinctive composition with which diamonds may<br />

be associated.<br />

Kilometre.<br />

Square kilometres.<br />

A high magnesium ultramafic rock of Archaen age with characteristic texture.<br />

Accumulation of hard rock fragments on the surface after the removal of finer<br />

material by wind or water; a loose aggregate.<br />

Satellite which provides multi-spectral imagery of the earth’s surface.<br />

Iron rich residual surface rock capping.
