![Fig. 1. Regional Paleoproterozoic geology of the Tennant Creek gold field (part of the Tennant Creek inlier), Northern Territory, and location of the principal Au, Cu and Bi deposits (filled squares). Geology and stratigraphy after Donnellan et al. (1995), with minor modifications from Le Messurier et al. (1990) and Donnellan (pers. commun., 2000). Abbreviations (commodities): A = Argo (Au), E = Eldorado (Au), G = Gecko (Cu-Au-Bi), I = Ivanhoe (Au-Cu), J = Juno (Au-Bi), N = Nobles Nob (Au), NS = North Star (Au), O = Orlando (Au-Cu), P = Peko (Cu-Au-Bi), T = TC8 (Au-Bi-Cu), W = Warrego (Au-Cu-Bi), WD = White Devil (Au-Bi), WP = West Peko (Cu-Au-Bi).]()

![Fig. 21. Model cross section of district- and regional-scale fluid pathways, Au-Cu-Bi deposits (ironstone- and shear-hosted), and structural geometry in the Tennant Creek gold field, shortly after deposition of the Flynn Subgroup and during subsequent D2 deformation at ~1830 to 1825 Ma (structural geometry after Rattenbury, 1984).]()
![Fig. 20. Schematic cross sections of Au-Cu-Bi deposit evolution in the Tennant Creek gold field, and inset phase diagrams showing generalized log fO2 and log aSigma;S conditions. A. Ironstone-stage hydrothermal and structural processes during D1 deformation. B. Au-Cu-Bi–stage processes during D2 time, in the reduced subtype of deposits (e.g., West Peko); note the shear-hosted Au ore outside ironstone. C. Au-Bi deposition in the oxidized subtype of deposits, illustrated for deposits characterized by brittle D2 deformation (e.g., Eldorado).]()
![Gold (glt) versus copper (%) grades for IOCG deposits sensu stricto versus fields for iron oxide (P, F, REE) deposits and skarn deposits, as grouped in this paper. Only deposits with greater than 100 t resources are plotted. Resource data are from Williams et al. (2005), except for the Carajas deposits (from Grainger et al., 2008), Palabora (Verwoerd, 1993) and O’okiep (Wilson, 1998). The high-grade Cu-Au or Au deposits from Tennant Creek and Cloncurry, Australia, commonly placed in the IOCG group, are also plotted using data from Williams et al. (2005). Note the lower copper and gold grades (closer to most porphyry-skarn Cu-Au deposits) of most of the Phanerozoic IOCG examples relative to the Precambrian examples and the low gold grades of Palabora and O’okiep. Also note that the upper limit in terms of gold for iron oxide-P-F deposits is poorly documented.]()
