2025 Parker Challenge is closing soon: Carlin-style gold
Get ready to bring your innovative thinking to the table and redefine the way we estimate resources.
Proudly sponsored by Barrick, the 2025 Parker Challenge will focus on orientation: getting the directions of continuity right. It will also emphasise critical thinking and selectivity.
The deposit, referred to as ‘Enterprise’ for the purposes of the challenge, is one of several that make up a mult-million ounce complex located in the northern Carlin Trend. The actual deposit will be revealed at the conclusion of the Parker Challenge award.
Your task is to estimate the gold only, identifying the best orientations for grade trends and pinpointing the hard boundaries where these trends stop. The judging will prioritise your critical path: how and why you arrived at your gold estimate. You may choose to build a comprehensive structural and lithological model or demonstrate a quicker, more streamlined approach.
Thanks to Barrick, the winner will be rewarded with $45,000!
