| Value | Range | n | Mineral or matrix | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −6.6 / 8.3 ε | native gold with silver An exceptionally wide range, attributed to multistage remobilisation of metals during genesis. This limits its use for tracing a single source. | Extreme Silver Isotope Variation in Orogenic Gold Systems, Victorian Goldfields (2019) |
