BIO
Dr. Jeff Steadman is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Geochemistry at CODES (Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences) in the College of Sciences and Engineering (CoSE). He currently specializes in the utilization of mineral trace element geochemistry as a vector towards concealed gold, silver, and copper ore bodies. His other geologic interests are metamorphic geology and impact processes.
Biography
Prior to joining CODES as a research fellow, Jeff completed his PhD there on the geochemistry of sedimentary-diagenetic pyrite in Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic black shales, and whether these rocks are viable sources of Au in certain orogenic Au districts around the globe. Jeff also holds a Master's degree in Geology from Iowa State University (USA), during which time he studied a series of small base metal showings in high-grade Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks of the Wollaston Domain in northern Saskatchewan.

Memberships
Professional practice
Jeff is an active member of the following geological organizations:
-Society of Economic Geologists
-Mineralogical Society of America
Administrative expertise
Jeff is currently Deputy Leader of Program 3 (Sedimentation, Tectonics, and Earth Evolution) and Chief Investigator on the project, "Iron Oxide Copper-Gold Deposits: Geochemistry and Geometallurgy." Prior to these roles, he was Chief Investigator on the project ‘Mineral Geochemistry Vectoring: Uncovering Northwest Queensland’s Hidden Potential’ from 2018-2021. From 2014-2017, Jeff was Chief Investigator on the industry-funded project, "Pyrite and Pyrrhotite as Ore Vectors and Stratigraphic Markers for Orogenic Gold, Carlin Gold, VHMS, IOCG, Sediment-Hosted Copper, and Stratiform Zinc targets." He has also held research positions on various other projects, including the ARC Linkage project, "Ore Deposits of the Lachlan Orogen", which ran from 2016-2020.
