High-sulfidation epithermal (HS) deposits occur in volcanic arc settings around the world. These deposits are sought-after by mining companies due to their endowment in precious and base metals, and due to their genetic connection to porphyry copper deposits. The aim of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of HS deposits and how to explore for them. This has been done via an extensive case study of the Mt Carlton HS deposit in the northern Bowen Basin, NE Australia. The Mt Carlton deposit has an estimated resource of 10.42 Mt with an average grade of 2.92 g/t Au, 30.60 g/t Ag and 0.47 % Cu, and since 2013 it is mined in an open pit operation. Mt Carlton is of particular interest for several reasons: it is one of the world’s few known economic, pre-Neogene HS deposits; the shallow-water venting portion of the magmatic-hydrothermal system is preserved; it formed in an active extensional tectonic setting; and it contains high enrichment in several critical elements. As such, Mt Carlton provides an excellent opportunity to study the geologic characteristics, genesis, preservation, and tectonic modification of this deposit type.
