Project title

Giant rare-metal pegmatites of the East Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia: Mineral systems analysis and terrane-scale exploration

Host university

University of Western Australia

Supervisors: Professor Steffen Hagemann, Professor Tony Kemp

Benefit to Western Australia

By delivering understanding of how some pegmatites in the Yilgarn and Pilbara regions developed a mineral endowment rich in rare and valuable metals such as lithium, John’s work will support Western Australian mineral exploration companies in finding the next generation of mineral deposits to secure the future of the industry.
