Key individual deposits like Cosmo, Union Reefs, and Maud Creek are described.
The Rb-Sr dating method uses the radioactive decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87 to date rocks and minerals. It works by measuring the ratio of rubidium to strontium, and the ratio of radiogenic strontium-87 to strontium-86, in samples. By plotting these ratios on a graph called an isochron, scientists can determine the age of the sample from the slope of the line. The method relies on the samples forming a closed system and not being altered after formation. It is useful for determining the age of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
This document discusses rubidium-strontium dating, a radiometric dating technique that determines the age of rocks based on the radioactive decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87. It describes the chemical properties of rubidium and strontium, how their relative abundances can vary in different rock types, and how the decay of rubidium-87 to strontium-87 can be used to calculate the age of a rock sample. It also discusses sources of error and applications of rubidium-strontium dating.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-copper oxide nanocomposites were prepared by covalent grafting of CuO nanorods on the rGO skeleton. The chemical and structural features of rGO-CuO nanocomposites were studied by FTIR, XPS, XRD and HRTEM analyses. Photocatalytic potential of rGO-CuO nanocomposites was explored for reduction of CO2 into the methanol under visible light irradiation. The breadth of CuO nanorods and the oxidation state of Cu in rGO-CuO/Cu2O nanocomposites were systematically varied to investigate their porosity and photocatalytic activities. The pristine CuO nanorods exhibited very low activity because of fast recombination of charge carriers and yielded methanol only 175 µmol g-1, whereas rGO-Cu2O and rGO-CuO exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic activities and yielded five (862 µmol g-1) and seven (1228 µmol g-1) times more methanol, respectively. The superior photocatalytic activities of CuO in rGO-CuO nanocomposites were attributed to the slow recombination of charge carriers and efficient transfer of photo-generated electrons through the rGO skeleton. This study further excludes the use of scavenging donor.
The document discusses radiometric dating techniques, specifically potassium-argon dating. It raises several assumptions and potential problems with potassium-argon dating, including uncertainties in determining initial ratios of parent-daughter isotopes, the possibility of leaching or contamination altering results, and examples of dates from rocks and lava of known ages producing dates that are too old. It suggests dating techniques may produce erroneous dates if key assumptions are violated and that dates are sometimes selectively interpreted or discarded if they don't match preconceived notions of age. Overall, the document casts doubt on the reliability of radiometric dating and its ability to accurately determine the ages of rocks.
Radiometric dating is a technique used to date materials such as rocks by comparing the observed amounts of radioactive isotopes and their decay products, using known decay rates. For example, uranium is a radioactive element found in Earth's crust that decays into lead over millions of years. By measuring the ratio of uranium to lead in a rock sample, scientists can determine the age of the rock. Lead is a soft, heavy metal with the symbol Pb that is one of the decay products formed when uranium decays.
This document discusses the radioactive decay of samarium-147 to neodymium-143 and its use in radiometric dating of rocks and meteorites. It provides background on samarium and neodymium as rare earth elements, their concentrations in common minerals and rocks, and how their ratio changes over time. The document also describes how the samarium-neodymium dating method is used to determine the age of the Earth based on analysis of meteorites and how it can be applied to date terrestrial and lunar rocks.

Crocodile Gold Corporate Presentation November 2013Crocodile Gold
Crocodile Gold has undertaken an extensive review of its operations and projects in response to softening gold prices. Key actions include consolidating shared services, streamlining management structures, limiting capital expenditures, redistributing assets between sites, and assessing the appropriate timing of exploration projects. Production is forecast to decrease in the second half of 2013 while cash costs are expected to rise. The company also refinanced debt and unwound gold hedge positions to improve its financial position.
Crocodile Gold has done an extensive review of its operations and projects given recent softening in gold prices. Key steps include:
1) Continual operational reviews to reduce operating costs and capital expenditures through consolidation, streamlining management, and limiting infrastructure spending.
2) Limiting exploration drilling to on-mine resource conversion and only advancing the Big Hill project at this time while reassessing other projects.
3) Ramping down underground mining at Stawell Gold Mine by mid-2013 while exploring opportunities within the mining lease and engaging with the local community.
4) Unwinding gold hedge positions and repaying debt to improve the company's financial position.
Crocodile Gold has done an extensive review of its operations and projects given recent softening in gold prices. Key points from the review include:
1. Implementing ongoing operational cost reductions and efficiencies including consolidation of shared services and streamlining management structures.
2. Limiting capital expenditures to mine development with minimal spending on infrastructure.
3. Reviewing projects and limiting exploration drilling to on-mine resource conversion only, with the priority being the Big Hill project. Other projects will be reassessed for appropriate timing.
4. The decision was made to ramp down underground mining at Stawell Gold Mine by mid-2013 and explore other opportunities within the existing mining lease.
- Crocodile Gold conducted an extensive review of its operations and projects to identify opportunities in light of recent softening gold prices. This included operational cost reviews and reductions, capital expenditure limits, asset redistribution, and exploration drilling reductions.
- In 2012, Crocodile Gold produced 90,000 ounces of gold at Fosterville and 73,000 ounces at Stawell. Production levels are expected to be similar in 2013 with mine lives of 3 years based on current reserves.
- The company completed a C$34.5 million convertible debenture offering and unwound its gold hedge position, using proceeds to repay debt leaving a remaining A$11.5 million to be paid off by October 2014.

14. MASSIVE SULPHIDES
• An excellent target for precious metals – oxide caps (up to 20-30m thick)
can contain significant gold and silver values
• Significant copper and precious metals can form under the oxide cap
• Not previously targeted in the Pine Creek Orogen, in fact historical records
indicate “iron blows” were shunned as they were thought to be devoid of
gold.
• Hypothetical Target: length 2,000m x 20m wide x 30m thick x SG 3.8
= 4.6 Mt x7 g/t Au = 1million oz.
• Easily found with airborne geophysics, follow stratigraphic horizons, find
one and there is significant potential to find more
• Example - Bisha deposit in Eritrea, currently producing 1,000 oz/day
@ 7- 8g/t Au at $300/oz
