W2: REGIONAL METALLOGENIC TO LOCAL CONTROLS ON
CIRCUM-PACIFIC GOLD AND COPPER DEPOSITS
Tuesday 17 March 2015, 8.00 am – 5.30 pm, Conrad Hotel, Hong Kong
AusIMM Members HKD 2900 | Non-members HKD 3600
Includes: Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and full colour workshop manual
Minimum 30 attendees
The workshop will consist of two parts. The first, presented by Steve Garwin, is titled Tectonic and
Structural Controls to Gold and Copper Mineralization in the Circum-Pacific Region. This
presentation will consist of three main topics:
1. Tectonic and regional structural controls for gold and copper mineralization in the Southeast
Asia - Western Pacific and Peruvian Andes
2. Examples of district- and deposit-scale controls to porphyry and epithermal deposits in
Indonesia, Japan, Peru and Ecuador
3. Controls to Carlin-type deposits in northern Nevada, USA and Guizhou Province, China.
The second part of the course, presented by Craig Hart, is titled Intrusion-related Gold Metallogeny.
This presentation will consist of three main topics:
1. Intrusion-related gold systems and classifications, with an emphasis on Alaska and the Yukon
2. Redox controls on intrusion-related metallogeny
3. Controlling features of mineralizing intrusions.

Steve Garwin, Consultant, Perth
Steve has 25 years of experience as an exploration geologist in SE Asia, China, Papua
New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Australia, the western USA, British Columbia, Mexico,
Peru, Ecuador and Chile. He worked with Newmont Mining for ten years, including two
years as Chief Geologist in Nevada. Steve is one of the leading authorities on
epithermal, porphyry and Carlin-style mineralization in the circum-Pacific region,
particularly SE Asia. He has been an adjunct research fellow at the Centre for
Exploration Targeting at the University of Western Australia since 2001.
