IOCG DEPOSITS ARE FORMED AT DIFFRENT TEMPATURES AND THE ((( NEWS ))) FROM THE AUZZY GOV. ...STATES IOCG DEPOSITS CAN HAVE .....(((( LODE GOLD AND INTRUSION RELATED GOLD DEPOSITS! ))) ...THIS NEW POSSIBILITY IS TRUE WITH IOCG's THAT WERE FORMED AT LOWER TEMPS. "A new subdivision of the Hiltaba Association granites (which supersedes the Hiltaba Suite) and their comagmatic Gawler Range volcanics comprises four supersuites. The Roxby and Venus Supersuites show A-type characteristics, while the Venus and Malbooma Supersuites are I-type.

Significantly, the A-type granites were hotter and required more elevated geotherms than the I-types. The Olympic copper–gold province in the eastern Gawler Craton is characterised by the presence of A-type supersuites, indicating that the elevated crustal temperatures of the eastern Gawler Craton at 1590 Ma were a key ingredient for generating IOCG mineralisation.

The lower temperature I-type supersuites show many of the characteristics of granites associated with intrusion-related gold deposits. These granites are more abundant in the central Gawler gold province....
