Arsenopyrite
Arsenopyrite in cm scale veinlet in schist
Pyrite
Sediment-hosted, orogenic (structurally controlled) Au deposit
Thick package of turbidites and calcareous sediments were
buried and deformed during the late Proterozoic Damara orogeny
Metal bearing brines were expelled from the deep sedimentary
basin and driven towards the southern margin which is defined by
a basement cored anticline
Hydrothermal fluids were channelled upwards in the basin
margin fault and out into the lower stress splay structures
Gold deposition mainly in a zone of intense folding and faulting
adjacent to the basin margin.
Host rocks include biotite and muscovite schist (Au in quartz-
sulphide veins parallel or sub-parallel to foliation) and quartzite and
turbidite (Au in breccia, stockwork and cross cutting quartz -
sulphide veins)
Gold mineralization is associated with three sulphide phases,
namely pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and pyrite
Several zones of pervasive alteration and replacement by silica-
rich fluids and sulphides have been intersected. These
replacement zones appear to host higher gold grades
Detailed petrography & mineralogy samples submitted for better
understanding of the Au associations and deportment.
