SILURIAN to EARLY DEVONIAN
Mineralisation occurs within a quartz vein that is structurally controlled and shows infill textures. Reactivation of the host structure has |
caused brecciation. |
A zone of sericitic alteration up to 4m either side of the vein contains disseminated pyrite and minor galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite |
with associated low gold grades. |
This sericitic alteration is overprinted by argillic alteration close to the quartz reef. Silicification is recorded locally. Brecciated granitic |
fragments locally host sulphides. |
