Richard Sillitoe and John Thompson talk about the evolution of the porphyry model from plate tectonics to lithocaps, mineral zoning, and the link to epithermal gold systems. How has the classic ‘tops and bottoms of porphyry deposits’ model changed and what have we learned over 50 years to guide our exploration. A prime example of the epithermal - porphyry connection is well known at the Lihir Gold Deposit, Papua New Guinea, operated by Newcrest Mining. We talk to Stephanie Sykora who studied the porphyry processes, alteration and mineralization about the evolution of the system and the challenges of working in an environment where the rocks and fluids are still hot. The last story brings it all together, with the discovery of the Onto Copper-Gold Deposit in Indonesia by Sumbawa Timur Mining, a subsidiary of Vale. Dave Burrows, chief Geoscientist for Vale takes us through what they achieved with their exploration strategy and the unusual features of this copper-gold system. New discoveries are still influencing how we view the tops and bottoms of porphyry deposits.Theme music is Confluence by East Winds. www.eastwindsmusic.comComing soon SEG Special Publication 23: Geology of the World’s Major Gold Deposits and Provinces.

Best selling, rural crime author, Fleur McDonald launches "Red Dirty Country." Returning to Perth after a near-fatal undercover case in outback Queensland, Dave Burrows, now a Detective Senior Constable in the stock squad, receives an ultimatum from his deeply unhappy wife, Melinda. Before Dave and Mel’s problems can be resolved, Dave is sent to the far north of Australia on a stock theft investigation. He finds two cattle stations deep in a complex underbelly of racial divide, family secrets, long-repeated lies, kidnapping and murder. Facing one of the biggest challenges of his policing life and the heartbreaking prospect of losing his family, Dave can’t imagine things getting worse. But there’s a hidden danger, intent on revenge, coming right for him. “A rural novel of courage, family and survival … McDonald weaves the varying threads together strongly.” AUSSIE REVIEWS SHOW NOTES: Writes4Womenwww.writes4women.comFacebook @writes4womenTwitter / Instagram @w4wpodcast W4W Patreonhttps://www.writes4women.com/support-us-on-patreon Fleur McDonald "Red Dirt Country" https://www.fleurmcdonald.com/red-dirt-country/Facebook @FleurMcDonaldAuthorInstagram: @fleurmcdonaldTwitter: @fleurmcdonald Pamela Cookwww.pamelacook.com.auFacebook @pamelacookauthorTwitter @PamelaCookAU Listen Up Podcasting (Kel Butler)www.listenuppodcasting.com.auFacebook @kelbutler / @listenuppodcastingTwitter @KelB
