An age of 343 to 334Ma for metamorphism and |
|
matrix mica growth may be interpreted to represent |
|
mineralisation associated with peak metamorphic |
|
conditions during deformation. |
DEVONIAN to CARBONIFEROUS
|
Gold mineralisation is associated with dilational and fault-related quartz veins. The deposit consists of two, parallel, northeast-trending, |
|
steeply dipping auriferous quartz-carbonate vein complexes cropping out as several prominant ridges. |
Close to the vein system, mild silicification and sericitisation has been developed in the host rock.
