Cu-Au mineralisation model for the Paterson

(Goellnicht 1992); an early “mineral system” approach

• Nicola Goellnicht and Steve Rowins published

early ore genesis models for Au-Cu and Cu-Au
deposits in the Paterson. Of particular interest

was 17Mile Hill Cu-Au deposit

• Rio focus on Cu-Au; “17Mile Hill” Cu-Au

deposit model

• Important aspects of the model are proximity to
granitoid, presence of contact metamorphic

halo and stratigraphic setting (sandstones/

quartzites)
