Murison, C. "Characteristics and ore genesis of the Mount Cuthbert deposit, Kalkadoon-Leichardt Belt, Mt Isa Inlier, north west Queensland." Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/118206.
Full textThe Mount Cuthbert mine is situated ~100km NE of Mt Isa near the eastern edge of the Kalkadoon Leichhardt Belt (KLB); a Proterozioc block of the Mt Isa Inlier that divides the world class mineral regions of the IOCG-style Eastern Fold Belt (EFB) and the Mount Isa style copper deposits of the Western Fold Belt (WFB). KLB hosted deposits display characteristics related to both the EFB and WFB style of mineralisation; however mineralisation at Mount Cuthbert is indicative of a genesis for KLB hosted deposits related to metasomatic and tectonic events responsible for mineralisation in the EFB. The Mount Cuthbert mine is a low tonnage-high grade, shear controlled, retrograde chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite deposit hosted within silica-dolomite and biotite-chlorite altered schists and felsic volcanic units of the Leichhardt Volcanics. The paragenetic alteration sequence is composed of 5 alteration stages: Stage 1) sodic alteration (albite + quartz); Stage 2) K-Fe-Ca alteration (siderite + calcite + dolomite+ quartz + biotite ± magnetite ± ilmenite ± apatite ± pyrite); Stage 3) mineralisation (chalcopyrite + quartz ± pyrite ± pyrrhotite ± calcite ± chlorite); Stage 4) major chloritisation; Stage 5) oxidation and localised enrichment to chalcocite. The alteration halo within the deposit is characterised by a proximal alteration envelope (<50m) consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrite, quartz, dolomite and chlorite, an intermediate alteration envelope (50-500m) described by quartz-carbonate veining with minor chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite, in addition to extensive biotite and chlorite alteration and minor magnetite alteration. A distal alteration envelope (>500m) is identified tentatively as albite dominant. The trace geochemistry of the main chalcopyrite ± pyrite ore phase reveals elevated Ni, Zn, Cd and Hg in pyrite and elevated Sn, Pb, Se, V, Cr, Te, Ga, As, Cd, Mo, Ga, Bi and Sb in chalcopyrite. Differing elemental trends within the ore minerals supports paragenetic evidence suggesting several phases of sulphide growth. The characteristics and features of the Mount Cuthbert deposit outlined in this study show the greatest number of similarities to other low tonnage-high grade, shear hosted deposits present in the KLB (i.e. Mighty Atom, Orphan). This suggests that despite having a genesis related to that of the EFB, KLB deposits are uniquely their own style of mineralisation. This supports a shear-zone associated exploration model that is specific to the KLB.

Schwarz, M. A. "Mineralogy and distribution of talc associated with Cu Mineralisation: A study of talc alteration in the Northern 3500 Orebody, Mount Isa, Queensland." Thesis, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/113487.
Full textCopper mineralisation within the Mount Isa Mines deposit is associated with variable talc alteration. An understanding of the mineralogy and distribution of talc alteration associated with the northern 3500 orebody is important for future mining processes and could potentially be used for exploration targets around the Mount Isa area. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations have shown one major type of talc mineralogy throughout the entire 3500 orebody. Variations in colour and texture are visible macroscopically and microscopically but there are no distinctive differences in mineralogy. The talc has minor iron (~4 wt% FeO), probably due to the moderate iron within the Mount Isa system. The same type of moderately Fe-rich talc is found within the 1100 oreobody (Waring, 1990), suggesting a similar style of talc alteration extends beyond the 3500 orebody. The distribution of talc is reliant on the fluid pathway. The altering fluids have used selected faults within the 3500 orebody as pathways. The NSFW fault which roughly defines the eastern limit of mineralisation in the 3500 orebody is typically a strong wide shear zone with talc fill and is recognised as being a possible pathway for the fluids. Talc is dominant on the footwall of the 3500 orebody from south of 6700mN and dominant on the hangingwall, north of 6700mN. Within the siliceous core where mineralisation is at its greatest concentrations, talc is only located within faults. Outside the siliceous core where copper mineralisation is lower, talc alteration is present within the rocks and varies in quantity. The talc alteration has occurred after the formation of dolomite and pyrite. However, the timing of the talc alteration in relation to the copper mineralisation remains unknown. Four methods of determining the most accurate and cost effective method for talc abundance estimates within the 3500 orebody are evaluated. The most effective method is through the calculation of stoichiometric equations from XRF assay data. These calculations can be used to create an accurate talc 3D numerical model that enables the distribution and numerical quantity of the talc to be viewed throughout the copper mine.

O'Brien, S. P. "Structural and mineralogical controls on the formation of the ‘Inter-lens’ at the Ernest Henry Deposit, Queensland." Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/121125.
Full textThe Ernest Henry Iron-oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit is by far the largest in the Eastern Succession of the Mount Isa Inlier. In the current genetic model, the release of CO2 from fluids sourced from enriched mantle was critical to brecciation and mineralisation. However, a weakly mineralised and brecciated shear zone within the orebody named the ‘Inter-lens’ separates the orebody into two distinct lenses. The Inter-lens was not well reported early in the life of the mine and has not been taken into account in the current ore deposit models. Establishing the relative timing of the Inter-lens structure provides strong geological constraints for the formation of the orebody. In this study, optical petrographic investigations, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA) were used to investigate the protolith. Key mineral relationships and textures were assessed to reveal the paragenesis of the Inter-lens. Structural observations in oriented drill core complemented underground mapping of exposures of the Inter-lens to reveal the deformational history of the Inter-lens with respect to the Ernest Henry orebody. The protolith was revealed to be Mount Fort Constantine Metavolcanics that have undergone intense deformation with a metasomatic evolution broadly consistent with the main orebody. Mineralisation stages overprinted tectonic fabrics via veining, replacement and infill, providing direct evidence that the Inter-lens is a pre-mineralisation structure. Preservation of the Inter-lens during brecciation and mineralisation of the Ernest Henry deposit requires that the currently accepted ‘explosive’ breccia model must be revised.
