Abstract
The field trip is aimed to (i) visit worked examples of multi-sheet shallow level intrusions, developing a holistic understanding of a laccolith-pluton-dyke swarm complex, (ii) acknowledge the role of field observations in understanding the structural and chronological relationships between magma emplacement, generation of fluid paths/traps and ore deposition.
