dc.description.abstract | The gold-bearing Metalore shear zone and Golden Highway
quartz-carbonate vein in the Beardmore-Geraldton Archean
Greenstone Belt occur along the Paint Lake splay faults at
the contact between metavolcanic rocks and metaconglomerates
intruded by pre-ore diorite. The Metalore and Golden Highway
deposits were emplaced during a late tectonic event.
They consist primarily of quartz, clinochlore, ankerite,
potassium feldspars, sericite, pyrite, argentite and
chalcopyrite with native gold. The minerals have been
deformed and are cut by at least three healed fractures by
fluid inclusions. Gold typically occurs in recrystallized
quartz. Microthermometric and Raman spectroscopy techniques
were used to study fluid inclusions in quartz, calcite,
ankerite, chlorites and potassium feldspars. | |
