    Abstract

    The Bentley volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Zn–Cu deposit is located within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane, Western Australia. A model of footwall alteration at the deposit was created using Shortwave Infrared Spectroscopy (SWIR). This technique enables rapid identification of alteration assemblages and their compositional variation. The presented study provides a framework that can be applied to other VMS systems, and shows that SWIR can be used to interrogate minerals associated with other hydrothermal deposit types.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
