Research & Development
Traditional & Innovative Targeting
Truscott's decade of research and development (R&D) work in structural geology provides a predictive capability for identifying targets in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field.
Truscott refers to this as "structural-mathematical targeting".
Deformation Patterns
Analysis of folding and shearing regimes across the Tennant Creek Mineral Field. Structural corridors aligned ENE (~070°) host repeating orebody positions.
Innovative Targeting
Applying a mathematical approach to generating structural targets, interpreting key structural controls on gold mineralisation.
Predictive Capability
Structural targets (potential mineralisation/orebodies) are predicted to form in repeating structurally controlled positions. This includes Westminster's 070° trending structural corridor.
Structural Mathematical Modelling
Truscott combines traditional targeting methodology with innovative target generation via fractal mathematics.
Fractal Mathematics
- An applied mathematical concept that can describe features, which are self-similar (scale-invariant) including their geometrical ratios, at multiple scales, termed step changes.
- Truscott's decade of research across the Tennant Creek Mineral Field has focused on:
- deformation patterns (folding / shearing)
- energy distribution within the rock mass
- application of applied mathematics (fractal mathematics) to predict orebody positions.
