VEIN
Syn D1 veins, occur in the hinges of D1 folds in |
carbonaceous shales. |
CARBONIFEROUS
Syn D2 veins, consist of groups of narrow quartz |
veins and stockworks and best developed where |
shear zones overprint D1 veins. |
CARBONIFEROUS
Post D2/D3 veins, consists of open-space, fill |
testured quartz veins in brittle sandstone. Where |
discrete stibnite veins and quartz veins intersect |
highest gold grades occur. Intrusive related veins. |
CARBONIFEROUS
Mineralisation ranges from Au-Sb-As veins and stockworks before or syn D2 to epithermal post D4 Q-Au-As veins. Minor amounts of |
Pb-Zn-Mo-Sn-W accompany mineralisation. |
Pre or syn D2 mineralisation is associated with carbonaceous shale which has a high background Au-Sb-Ag content. Gold occurs within |
the Sb-Fe-As oxides and within Q. |
The mineralisation model involves fluids derived from moderate-deep metamorphic dewatering during the main deformation event with |
these fluids leaking to shallow crustal levels in the Carboniferous and focused along deep-seated structures. |
Late intrusive related veins also occur.
