Conglomerate-hosted gold has recently been discovered in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. These conglomerate-hosted discoveries represent a different style of gold mineralisation to deposits in other parts of the country and have been found over an extensive area, opening up an expanse of potentially prospective ground.
In this article, geologists Stuart Munroe and Michael Cunningham discuss the opportunities and challenges in exploration and sampling of conglomerate-hosted gold.
