Comments

The Red Dome deposit is a skarn related gold deposit formed by the intrusion of high level late Carboniferous fractionated I-type felsic

intrusives into carbonate host rocks of the Chillagoe Formation.

Gold is not thought to have developed during early skarn development but rather during retrograde alteration and late veining.

Gold is essentially confined to the skarn sequence and has only been identified in the margins of the rhyolite associated with late calcite

veins.
