Hematite/Maghemite trace element geochemistry in base metal exploration

► Magnetic separates (maghemite, hematite) have up to 103 ppm base metal content ► Fe-oxide aggregates show textures of precipitation, replacement and brecciation ► Cluster analysis shows affiliation of lithophile, chalcophile and siderophile elements ► The Hillside Cu-Au anomaly is well represented in the magnetic separates
