Identification of pyrite as a major host for lattice-bound or sub-microscopic (‘invisible) gold’; work on the role of Bi-chalcogenides as precious metal carriers and on the distribution of trace elements (In, Ge, Ga etc.) in sphalerite. Demonstrating the role that pyrite textures can play in deciphering the metamorphic history of deformed metamorphosed VMS deposits (Scandinavian Caledonides, Namibia, Romania); identifying the role and mechanisms involved in recrystallization of the major sulphides and the subsequent remobilization of trace elements Assessment of the role of Cu-Ag-Pb-Bi sulphosalts, tellurides and selenides and the potential of Bi-chalcogenides as petrogenetic indicators in gold deposits ranging from Archean orogenic-gold deposits to telluride-rich volcanic-epithermal systems of Tertiary age. Research on key mineral groups, including the (Fe,Ni,Co,Cu)3S4 thiospinel group, cuprobismutite and related Cu-Bi sulphosalts, and phases in the Bi-Te-Se-S system.
