60. Mechanism of Au deposition
Porphyry – Cooling and mixing with hot
low pH waters which form pyrophyllite
Boiling in banded adularia rocks
Bonanza Au
– Mixing with low pH waters
– Mixing with oxygenated waters
89. Controls to ore shoots
Mechanism of Au deposition
Structure
– Dip of vein
– Strike of vein
– Access of low pH waters
– Structural intersections
