| Deposit | PGE OCCUR NEAR CROSSCUTTING INTRUSIONS IN HYDROTHERMALLY ALTERED ROCKS WHICH SUGGESTS A PRIMARY MAGMATIC ORIGIN WITH POSSIBLE LATER CONCENTRATION BY HYDROTHERMAL PROCESSES. THE SULIFDES ARE EITHER ASSOCIATED WITH ILMENOMAGNETITE OR AS DISCRETE GRAINS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OXIDE MINERALS. THE LOCATION WITHIN THE COMPLEX RATHER THAN AT THE BASE SUGGESTS A POSSIBLE SIMILARITY TO MERENSKY REEF TYPE DEPOSITS; UNPUBLISHED MODEL NAME: MAGAMTIC SEGREGATION. |
