Sediment-hosted, Disseminated Gold Deposits Related to Alkalic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes occurrences of low grade, disseminated gold in sedimentary rocks and alkalic intrusions in the vicinity of the Howell Creek Structure (HCS; Price,1964) of southeastern British Columbia. The study is part of the B.C. Geological Surveys ongoing Sediment-hosted Gold Project, which is examining occurrences throughout the province which may have similarities to gold deposits in the Carlin district of Nevada. Brown spent two weeks examining the general setting of mineralization and sampling diamond drill core. Much of the paper is based on results of numerous exploration programs undertaken by Cameron for Dome Exploration Canada, Limited, Placer Dome Inc. (now Placer Dome Canada Limited) and Phelps Dodge Corporation of Canada, Limited (Cameron, 1989). The geology map compiled at 1:1 000 scale, whole rock, trace element and rare earth element lithogeochemical data, PIMA short-wave infrared analysis results, and scanned photographs, are available in digital form from Brown.

Mineralogy and Geochemistry Studies of the Sorkheh Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper (SSC) Deposit, NW Iran
The Sorkheh deposit in northwestern Iran exhibits several readily visible general characteristics of sediment-hosted stratiform copper (SSC) mineralization. It consists of fine-grained disseminated base-metal sulfides within gray sandstones (gray beds, the basal whitish Miocene sandstone and shallow-water) that overlie a thick sequence of red beds (Miocene Upper Red Formation). The host gray be...
متن کاملSediment-Hosted Copper Mineralization in Bavanat Region, Southern Sanandaj-Sirjan, Iran
Sedimentary Copper mineralization has been observed in Monj and Jolany locations in Bavanat (Sanandaj – Sirjan metamorphic belt). According to current study, the host rocks for copper mineralization in this area are green sandstones, generally in subarkose and arkose groups. Age of these sandstones is middle Jurassic. Copper mineralization is observed in two forms, sulfides form including chalc...
متن کاملHydrothermal Gold Mineralization and Some Features of Ore Mineral at Onzon-Kanbani Area, Central Myanmar
Onzon-Kanbani area is a western flank of Mogok Metamorphic Belt where gold mineralization is hosted as auriferous quartz-vein with epithermal low-sulphidation characters. Mineralization is closely associated with NE-SW trending fracture or shear zone probably related to the dextral movement of the Sagaing Fault system. Mineralization related hydrothermal alteration is developed as narrow zones ...

The Damanghor gold mineralization occurrence is located in north of Bardaskan, Khorasan Razavi Province, and Taknar zone.The geology of the area consists of Precambrian green sericite schist and metarhyolite, intruded by diabase. Mineralization in this area is in vein form with N50E stribe and 70NW dip and hosted by schist and metarhyolite with 300 meters length and 2 to 35 meters width. Dissem...
