Carles, Patricia 1975. "Constraints on the genesis of the Archaean Troilus gold-copper deposit, Quebec." Thesis, McGill University, 2000. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=31204.
Full textRocks of the Troilus domain include a coarse- to medium-grained metadiorite, a finer-grained amphibolite, a rock with a brecciated texture and felsic dykes, which crosscut the metadioritic pluton, the amphibolite and the breccia. The amphibolite, breccia, and felsic dykes all locally host ore.
Previous researchers have proposed a porphyry-type model for the genesis of the Troilus deposit. However, evidence that the breccia unit is not hydrothermal but a product of magma mixing, that the felsic dykes predate mineralization, and that mineralization and associated alteration occurred as two discrete events separated by a major episode of regional metamorphism (amphibolite facies), requires that alternative genetic models for the deposit be considered, such as orogenic gold model.

Full textThe Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit is located 55km east of Adelaide, on the eastern edge of the Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia. It is of Delamerian age and is hosted in the Tapanappa series of the Kanmantoo Group, a pelitic turbidite sequence metamorphosed to amphibolites facies. Models for mineralisation vary from sedimentary exhalative system to epigenetic mineralisation. Despite recent work, the structural evolution of the deposit is largely unknown and this allows for the absence of a definitive model for mineralisation. Detailed face mapping of the 1190RL bench in conjunction with handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Niton gun was adopted to further investigate the relationship between key structural features and element distribution. Micro analysis by petrographic studies, Edax element maps and δ34S isotope analysis was completed to gain understanding into fluid-rock relationships and origin of mineralising fluids. The findings of this study strongly suggest timing of copper mineralisation was associated with the first phase of orogenic extension at 490 ± 3 Ma. The extensional reactivation of compressional D3 shear zones, along with the injection of partially oxidised igneous derived fluids interacting with Fe-rich sediments, allows for the formation of the Kanmantoo magmatic hydrothermal deposit. Sulphur isotope results, and the mapping of magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite bearing K-feldspar veins are a very strong evidence of an igneous influence. Cu precipitation is as a result of a cooling oxidised magmatic hydrothermal fluids reacting with Fe in metasediments, and partially interacting with a reducing environment, rather than being directly associated with Fe rich metasomatism. Broad unmineralised zones of chlorite alteration suggest circulation of magmatic hydrothermal fluid with copper mineralisation preferentially precipitating in veins within and adjacent to reactivated D3 shears and D3 antiformal zones.

Booth, M. "Distribution and mineralogical association of Au at the Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit." Thesis, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/130472.
Full textSouth Australia’s Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit is currently operated by Hillgrove Resources and has an extended history of exploration and production dating back to 1846. However, there is little consensus on the paragenesis and structural controls of the deposit. Empirical work specifically on Au mineralogy and paragenesis has been completed. To investigate the mineralogical and geochemical associations between Au and host mineralogy, drill core samples, grab samples and ore concentrates and tailings have been collected from the East Kavanagh, Central Kavanagh, West Kavanagh, Spitfire and Nugent ore lodes. Petrographic analysis, Mineral Insights Goldsniffer analysis, secondary electron microscopy, mineral liberation analysis (SEM-MLA) and Laser Ablation (LA-ICP-MS) analysis observed and recorded evidence for four textural settings of Au. Two stages of Au development are proposed: early Au (associated with the main economic Cu-bearing hydrothermal fluids) and late Au (associated with retrograde Bi-rich hydrothermal fluids). Variations observed in major and trace element composition reflect changing input from a thermally-anomalous hydrothermal fluid source. The stability field for Au nanoparticles and the rarity of precipitated visible Au supports a late-peak to post-peak metamorphic origin. This study has implications about how Au can be recovered within the Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit. The mineralogy and geochemical characteristics of Au at the Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit can also be utilised as an exploration pathfinder within the greater Adelaide fold belt and the Delamarian-affected terrains at other exploration provinces within the Adelaide fold belt.

Full textThe Kanmantoo Cu-Au deposit, situated 55 km south-east of Adelaide, is hosted in the Tapanappa Formation of the Kanmantoo Trough. Recent evidence supports an epigenetic mineralising model for the deposit with respect to the Delamerian Orogeny of ~514 to 490 ±3 Ma. The Delamerian deformation event is the oldest portion of the Tasmanides, a 20 000 km orogenic belt along the eastern palaeo-pacific margin of Gondwana. Mineralisation of the Kanmantoo deposit has been linked with post-Delamerian multi-phase extension in east dipping normal faults. The final stages of extension resulted in non-mineralised north dipping normal faults and proximal discrete fracturing. Structural analysis of geology centred on the Kanmantoo deposit has classified a systematic set of extensional fracturing, developed in- the Kanmantoo deposit and in the region surrounding the deposit for >5 km radius. The fracture set trends east-west and dips steeply to the north with a recorded mean orientation of 75/359°. Fractures are characteristically not offset by shearing, strike for tens of metres, have variable frequency, and alterations influenced by fluid migration. Petrographic and geochemical analysis (SEM)in this study has defined a regionally distributed fracture-hosted albitic alteration, which is relatively enriched in Na, Ca, Al and depleted in Fe, Mg and K. A late stage extensional setting is supported for the development of the discrete sub-vertical fracturing.

Full textThe Ernest Henry deposit is situated within the Eastern Fold Belt of the Mount Isa Inlier, NW Queensland, and is the largest iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposit in the Proterozoic Cloncurry district. The hydrothermal deposit is hosted in brecciated intermediate metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks with a biotite-calcite-chalcopyrite-gold-magnetite-pyrite-quartz mineral assemblage. This study investigates the mineralogical, textural and geochemical association between gold and pyrite with samples collected from three drill holes (EH768, EH859 and EH864) at ~700m vertical depth within the ore body. Majority of the gold (~98%) at Ernest Henry is in the form of free gold, which is commonly observed in pyrite microfractures, associated with chalcopyrite infill. Free gold has been interpreted to have entered the system with the main economic Cu-Au mineralisation stage. We propose that the semi-conducting potential of pre-existing pyrite surfaces have acted as a catalyst for the precipitation of free gold. Implications from this study may assist in the improvement of gold recovery at Ernest Henry and provide a better understanding of the timing of the ‘C’ and ‘G’ in ‘IOCG’ deposits in the local Cloncurry District.
