Alteration

  • (Local) Contact Metamorphic - Hornfelsing And Skarnification; Hydrothermal (Low To Medium Temperature) - Propylitization, Quartz-Muscovite, Epidote-Chlorite, Horneblende-Epidote-Chlorite, Chlorite-Carbonate-Sericite Associations

Analytical data

Result VISIBLE GOLD IS RARELY OBSERVED. FLAKES ARE GENERALLY 0.2-0.4MM OCCURRING IN LUMPY AND DENDRITIC FORMS. IN THE EARLY QUARTZ-PYRITE ASSOCIATION, GOLD IS DISSEMINATED, AND IN THE MAIN ORE ZONE FORMS MINUTE INCLUSIONS WITHIN OR CEMENTS AND ENWRAPS THE ORE MINERAL GRAINS. GOLD FINENESS RANGES FROM 575-960 AND THE RATIO OF GOLD TO SILVER IS 1:1.

Ore body information

  • General form LENSOID BODIES OF QUARTZ-MUSCOVITE VEINS AND VEINLETS

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Ne-Nw Faults, Fractures And Joints

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE DOMINANT FAULTS IN THE REGION ARE NE STRIKING AND THE PRINCIPAL MINERALIZATION IS CONFINED TO A ZONE OF A MAJOR NE FAULT, TRACEABLE FOR MORE THAN 7 KM, AND SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF METERS IN WIDTH. WITHIN THE ZONE ARE SUBPARALLEL AND CONVERGENT AURIFEROUS METASOMATITE LENSES UP TO 800M IN LENGTH WITH A THICKNESS OF A FEW CM TO 100M. THE LENSES USUALLY STRIKE NE WITH A STEEP NW DIP. THE PRINCIPAL VEIN MINERAL IS QUARTZ (UP TO 94-97%) WITH MUSCOVITE, ADULARIA, SERICITE, AND HYDROMICAS. THE ORE MINERALS MAKE UP 0.5-1%. PRESENCE OF A RARE-METAL+TOURMALINE MINERALIZATION REFLECTS THE JUNCTION OF THE GOLD MONGOLIAN-OKHOTSK BELT AND THE RARE-METAL SIKHOTE-ALIN BELT.

General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF A COMPLEX BLOCK STRUCTURE WHICH HAS BEEN INTENSELY REWORKED AS A RESULT OF CONTACT AND HYDROTHERMAL METAMORPHISM RESULTING IN QUARTZ AND QUARTZ-MUSCOVITE LENSES WITH SULFIDE VEINS AND VEINLETS OF FINE-GRAINED, CHALCEDONY-LIKE AURIFEROUS QUARTZ.
