Dear Ms. McCoy,
Thank you for your e-mail. Please accept my sincerest apologies for not responding to you sooner. I was away on holiday. Unfortunately, the SEG does not permit reprinting of full articles in any electronic format. The only thing we could allow would be the abstract of this article. The cost would be $10.00 a page. Please let me know if you are still interested and I will be happy to prepare the Reprint Permission Request and the Invoice. If you have any questions, or if I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kindest regards,

<meta content="The Meso-Neoproterozoic Throssell Group of the Paterson orogen in Western Australia hosts the Nifty and
Maroochydore sediment-hosted, replacement Cu deposits, as well as subeconomic Pb-Cu-Au veins at
Goosewacker, carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb at Warrabarty, and pyritic massive sulfide at Grevillea. We report new
Pb isotope data for the Nifty deposit and the Rainbow and Grevillea prospects. These data are combined with
published and unpublished data to characterize the Pb isotope signatures of the deposits and prospects in the
Throssell Group. In addition these data are integrated into a model for the sources of Pb in the mineralizing
systems.
Lead isotope data from mineralized occurrences in the Throssell Group plot as a linear trend in 207Pb/204Pb-
206Pb/204Pb space. Deposits and prospects are arranged, from least to most radiogenic, as Rainbow, Warrabarty,
Nifty, Goosewacker, and Maroochydore, along the trend. Secondary isochron or mixing isochron models were
previously proposed to interpret the Pb isotope trend for mineral deposits and prospects in the Throssell
Group. Our investigation shows that the linear trend does not represent an isochron due to the syngenetic (pre-
D4) timing for mineralization at Warrabarty and Rainbow compared to an epigenetic (syn-D4) timing for Maroochydore,
Nifty, and Goosewacker. We propose a source-mixing model, with no time dependency, to explain
the deposit Pb isotope linear trend where Pb from a primitive, mantle source (Pilbara Craton, μ = 9.88) is
mixed with crustal Pb (Throssell Group sedimentary rock derived from the Rudall Complex, μ = 10.55). The
position of deposits and prospects along the trend suggests that the Warrabarty and Rainbow prospects have
more primitive Pb and that the Maroochydore deposit contains Pb from primarily a crustal source. The Nifty
deposit, and the Goosewacker and Grevillea prospects, contain a mixture of both primitive and crustal Pb." name="eprints.abstract" />

Maroochydore sediment-hosted, replacement Cu deposits, as well as subeconomic Pb-Cu-Au veins at
Goosewacker, carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb at Warrabarty, and pyritic massive sulfide at Grevillea. We report new
Pb isotope data for the Nifty deposit and the Rainbow and Grevillea prospects. These data are combined with
published and unpublished data to characterize the Pb isotope signatures of the deposits and prospects in the
Throssell Group. In addition these data are integrated into a model for the sources of Pb in the mineralizing
systems.
Lead isotope data from mineralized occurrences in the Throssell Group plot as a linear trend in 207Pb/204Pb-
206Pb/204Pb space. Deposits and prospects are arranged, from least to most radiogenic, as Rainbow, Warrabarty,
Nifty, Goosewacker, and Maroochydore, along the trend. Secondary isochron or mixing isochron models were
previously proposed to interpret the Pb isotope trend for mineral deposits and prospects in the Throssell
Group. Our investigation shows that the linear trend does not represent an isochron due to the syngenetic (pre-
D4) timing for mineralization at Warrabarty and Rainbow compared to an epigenetic (syn-D4) timing for Maroochydore,
Nifty, and Goosewacker. We propose a source-mixing model, with no time dependency, to explain
the deposit Pb isotope linear trend where Pb from a primitive, mantle source (Pilbara Craton, μ = 9.88) is
mixed with crustal Pb (Throssell Group sedimentary rock derived from the Rudall Complex, μ = 10.55). The
position of deposits and prospects along the trend suggests that the Warrabarty and Rainbow prospects have
more primitive Pb and that the Maroochydore deposit contains Pb from primarily a crustal source. The Nifty
deposit, and the Goosewacker and Grevillea prospects, contain a mixture of both primitive and crustal Pb.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Copyright 2002, Society of Economic Geologists.

Dear Ms. McCoy,
Thank you for your e-mail. Please accept my sincerest apologies for not responding to you sooner. I was away on holiday. Unfortunately, the SEG does not permit reprinting of full articles in any electronic format. The only thing we could allow would be the abstract of this article. The cost would be $10.00 a page. Please let me know if you are still interested and I will be happy to prepare the Reprint Permission Request and the Invoice. If you have any questions, or if I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kindest regards,
