Субэпитермальная Au-Pd минерализация, связанная со щелочно-порфировым Cu-Au месторождением, гора Миллиган, террейн Кеснел, Британская Колумбия, Канада
At the Mount Milligan Cu-Au porphyry deposit, Quesnel terrane, British Columbia, Canada, barren and weakly mineralized, late-stage hydrothermal veins occur in volcanic rocks adjacent to zones of Cu-Au porphyry mineralization, and have overprinted the porphyry-stage veins. The earliest of the late-stage hydrothermal veins are barren and consist of quartz ± pyrite ± carbonate ± chlorite ± tourmaline. These veins are similar to “transitional” to late-stage hydrothermal veins in other alkaline porphyry Cu-Au deposits, and we consider these to be the equivalent of transitional (post-porphyry, pre-epithermal) quartz-sericite-pyrite veins in calc-alkaline porphyry environments.
