Biography
In 2013, Dr. Sean Harrison McClenaghan, BSc., MSc., PhD., PGeo was appointed to the Assistant Professor position in Economic Geology in the Department of Geology, Trinity College Dublin. Sean has been an active researcher in mineral deposits geology for 15 years, with a wide range of professional experience in governments, academia and the exploration industry. He is an expert on the trace-element geochemistry of hydrothermal systems, in particular Pb-Zn massive sulfide deposits. Focussed research has taken advantage of the most up to date, state of the art analytical techniques available (e.g., Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Laser-Ablation ICP-MS) with the goal of dissecting ore-forming systems. Classic research streams have focussed on the form and distribution of Au in volcanic and shale-hosted massive sulfides as well as dissecting high temperature feeder zones in the search for useful trace-element vectors. Some of his more recent work has focussed on the trace-element systematics of hydrothermal apatite in large Zn-Pb deposits. Through the course of this research, Sean elucidated controls on Rare Earth Element (REE) transport and deposition, revealing anomalous signatures in phosphate minerals. Practical industry-directed studies have focussed on the analysis of ores, concentrates and waste tailings with the goal of optimizing production. Much of the research output detailed here has focussed on the application of advanced geochemical techniques to the exploration (vectoring) for Pb-Zn deposits and development of ore resources. In the coming years, focus will be directed towards applying this advanced research expertise on Irish ore systems with the goal of fostering knowledge, exploration and development of Ireland's mineral wealth.

Research Expertise
Description
My research encompasses a wide range of mineral deposit types with a general focus on trace mineral vectoring. This is applied through geochemical and isotopic analysis of materials with the aim of identifying elemental variations, which demonstrate an observed trend towards mineralization. Within these dynamic environments, we can determine the physiochemical processes controlling dispersion of elements along mineralized trends as well as in the near-surface environment where deposits may be hidden under deep profiles of alluvium, peat and soil; recent projects have investigated geochemical and isotopic vectors in glacial till, soils, peat and vegetation. This geochemical vectoring research approach is currently being applied to a range of mineral deposit types around the world, including porphyry Cu-Mo, volcanogenic massive sulphides (Cu-Pb-Zn), Banded Iron Formations, Carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn, and Orogenic Au systems. Complimentary work has also focussed on the occurrence of Critical Raw Materials (CRM) in a wide range of these mineral deposit systems and their associated waste tailings and spoils. Research projects have been initiated on this CRM research worldwide through targeted Trinity-iCRAG projects and international collaborators. The initiation and continued operation of our Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory features Laser Ablation ICP-MS instrumentation that facilitates much of this research and that of iCRAG users, as well as attracting collaboration from around the globe with research partnerships developed with Norway, Sweden, Spain, Poland, France, Turkey, Tunisia, Iran, Canada, U.S.A., Chile, China and the U.K. Supporting research into the development and use of analytical standards are vital to the continued growth of our Trinity facilities and competitiveness, globally. Altogether, this holistic approach to geochemical dispersion around mineral deposits is unique and not typically encountered in mineral deposit research programs. This research programme is consistent with current global research trends, and relies upon continued innovation within the analytical facilities at Trinity College.Projects
- Title
- Novel geochemical methods for mineral exploration in Irish peatlands
- Summary
- The terrain in which geologists explore is becoming more mature. With most of the near surface (easy-to-find) deposits discovered, exploration geologists are now focussing their attention towards "blind deposits" buried beneath peatland, thick glacial overburden and barren cover rock. Refinement of existing exploration techniques and development of new analytical methods are required to advance exploration the next level. Conventional soil geochemical surveys in Ireland have employed Aqua Regia and Multi-Acid extraction/digestion techniques in their analytical methodology. These methods have been highly successful in delineating mineralisation in the British and Irish Isles; however, in peatland settings, conventional geochemistry is known to produce spurious results. This research is developing criteria for geochemical exploration in Irish peatlands making use of techniques such as Ionic Leach, Enzyme Leach, and biogeochemistry as well as state of the art instrumentation. These novel methods, which have not been widely used in Ireland, are increasingly being employed globally to detect blind deposits and have great potential for success in the peatlands of Ireland.

- Characterising dispersed metal plumes in surficial soils and sediments in the Irish Midlands: Using isotope fingerprints to develop vectors in mineral exploration
- Summary
- Fingerprinting the dispersion of metal, trace-element and stable isotopic (Zn, Pb, Cu, Fe) signatures in vegetation, soil and glacial tills overlying Pb-Zn deposits. Three-dimensional modelling of the metal plume features a chemical profile reconstructing the full isotopic pathway from metal deposit to soil. Characterizing the metal and isotopic haloes surrounding carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn deposits and within their overlying sediments has wide applications for the Irish Midlands and glacial terranes, worldwide.
