- W2189205914 abstract "The area around the Cat Arm road in western White Bay contains a large, low-grade, disseminated gold deposit, hosted by Precambrian granites, which was extensively explored in the 1980s. In the latter stages of this exploration, gold mineralization was discovered in the adjacent sedimentary rocks that unconformably overlie the mineralized granites. This sedimentary-rock-hosted gold mineralization is now important in the context of renewed exploration based upon Carlin-type deposit models. Mineralization is hosted by rocks of the Lower Cambrian Labrador Group (Bradore and Forteau formations), close to the basal unconformity upon Precambrian granites. A major fault zone brings massive dolostones assigned to the Petit Jardin Formation of the Upper Cambrian Port au Port Group over the Labrador Group rocks, and fault-bounded slivers of (probably Ordovician) limestones (St. George Group) also occur within this composite fault zone. There is little sign of alteration or mineralization in these hanging-wall dolostones and limestones, and only local, minor gold enrichment. Below the fault zones, gold mineralization occurs in quartzites of the Bradore Formation, and in basal limestones and calcareous phyllites of the overlying Forteau Formation. Mineralization in the quartzites is, in places, continuous with that in altered granites beneath the basal unconformity, but elsewhere is separated from the granites by barren rocks. The gold mineralization is everywhere associated with fine-grained disseminated pyrite and rarer pyritic veinlets, and is accompanied by sympathetic arsenic enrichment. Calcareous host rocks are possibly silicified, but mineralized quartzites show no obvious alteration. Magnetite in “calcareous ironstones” at the Bradore–Forteau formational boundary has been variably replaced by pyrite, and these rocks typically contain the best gold grades. Detailed description and recognition of geological and mineralogical relationships are severely hampered by intense fracturing and poor core recovery. Future petrographic and geochemical studies are planned to assess the links between granitoid-hosted and sedimentary-rock-hosted gold mineralization, and to further evaluate both in the context of Carlin-type deposit models." @default.
