Abstract

The Elura ore body is a massive Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide body with reserves of 27 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 5.6% Pb, 140g/tonne Ag, occurring in deeply weathered siltstones. The papers presented at the symposium cover the exploration, discovery, evaluation and testing of the orebody using the following methods: gravity, magnetic and aeromagnetic, electrical methods including mise a la masse, induced polarisation including spectral IP surveys, magnetic induced polarisation and magnetometric resistivity, electromagnetic methods including TURAM and the airborne DIGHEMII, transient electromagnetic methods, and seismic refraction. Discussions of the techniques used are also reported.<br />The Elura ore body is a massive Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide body with reserves of 27 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 8.3% Zn, 5.6% Pb, 140g/tonne Ag, occurring in deeply weathered siltstones.
