Abstract

Through a multiscale and multidisciplinary approach integrating field geology, petrography, and geochronology, this work presents the first integrated study of gold mineralisation in the Mungari Gold-Camp, and broader Coolgardie-Domain. The stratigraphy of the region was revised and complemented with newly acquired ages to understand its magmatic and metamorphic history. At the deposit scale, a new mineral and structural paragenesis was established for the Rayjax and Cutters Ridge deposits. Similarities in styles of mineralisation and alteration indicate that gold metallogeny in the Mungari-Camp was polyphased and developed over three separate stages punctuating the magmatic and tectonic evolution of the region.
