Lisheen Data

Lisheen datasets and models:

Surface grids of the base of the Waulsortian Limestone horizon at the Lisheen deposit. Depth contoured maps of the base of the Waulsortian Limestone horizon, and projected faults where they intersect this horizon. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_Surfaces.zip]

LeapfrogGeo 3D model (version 4.2.3) containing the 3D data. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_Leapfrog_model.zip]

Drillhole databases for Lisheen. [ILC_LIS_SIL_iCRAG2018_DHD.zip]

Other iCRAG datasets (these are available for licencing on request and under conditions)

Full mine dataset as provided by EMD [http://mineralsireland.ie/]

Maptek Vulcan project, containing interpretations of other geological units

GoCAD 3D model with the primary modelling workflow and containing the 3D data above.

The full modelling methodology and dataset is described in the following two papers:

Kyne, R., Torremans, K., Doyle, R., Güven, J., Walsh, J.J. (2019). 3D modelling of the Lisheen and Silvermines deposits, Co. Tipperary, Ireland: Insights into structural controls on the formation of Irish Zn-Pb deposits. Economic Geology 114(1), 93-116. https://doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.2019.4621

Torremans, K., Kyne, R., Doyle, R., Güven, J., Walsh, J.J. (2018). Controls on metal distributions at the Lisheen and Silvermines deposits: Insights into fluid flow pathways in Irish-type Zn-Pb deposits. Economic Geology, 113(7), 1455-1477. doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.2018.4598

and appendices at [Torremans et al Metal Distribution Lisheen Silvermines Appendices.zip]

 

A related iCRAG paper also uses these models to look at fault-controlled fluid flow in extensional basins.

Walsh, J.J., Torremans, K., Güven, J., Kyne, R., Conneally, J., Bonson, C. (2018). Fault-controlled fluid flow within extensional basins and its implications for sedimentary rock-hosted mineral deposits. Society of Economic Geologists Special Publications 21, 237-269. http://doi.org/10.5382/sp.21.11
