- W2529552309 abstract "The Copler Au deposit (measured and indicated resource of 122.8 million tonnes at 1.7 g/t Au, 4.8 g/t Ag, and 0.1 wt % Cu) is centered around shallow-level dioritic to granodioritic intrusive rocks of the middle Eocene Copler-Kabatas magmatic complex, which have been emplaced into a succession of regionally metamorphosed late Paleozoic-Mesozoic sedimentary and carbonate rocks.The deposit comprises a centrally located subeconomic porphyry Cu-Au system characterized by a potassically altered (biotite-K-feldspar-magnetite) core overprinted by a more extensive phyllic (quartz-sericite) alteration zone. The potassic alteration zone is associated with early M-type hairline magnetite and crosscutting B-type quartz ± magnetite ± sulfide veinlets, whereas the enveloping phyllic-altered rocks contain abundant D-type quartz-pyrite and lesser polymetallic quartz-sulfide veinlets. Intermediate-sulfidation epithermal Au mineralization that overprints the porphyry occurred in two stages. Main-stage epithermal mineralization is characterized by carbonate sulfide veinlets consisting of manganocalcite, arsenical pyrite, arsenopyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, tennantite/tetrahedrite, galena, and sphalerite. Late-stage sooty pyrite veinlets contain some realgar and orpiment and are associated with zones of extensive carbonate alteration. In the carbonate sulfide veinlets, invisible gold is primarily hosted within arsenical pyrite and, to a lesser extent, by arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, and tennantite. In sooty pyrite veinlets, invisible gold is associated with fine-grained arsenical pyrite. Manto-type carbonate-replacement zones occur in the distal portions of the porphyry system and constitute a significant gold resource. These carbonate-replacement bodies display a mineral paragenesis similar to that of the epithermal carbonate sulfide veinlets in that they contain abundant arsenical pyrite together with lesser chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, and marcasite, and sparse sphalerite, galena, tennantite, and tetrahedrite. Invisible gold in these ores is contained mainly within pyrite and chalcopyrite and, to a lesser extent, in arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, and tennantite.Polyphase brine inclusions (~47–62 wt % NaCl equiv) in early B-type quartz ± magnetite ± sulfide veinlets were trapped together with low-salinity (~3–5.5 wt % NaCl equiv), vapor-rich inclusions at temperatures ~390°C and at a depth of ~1.5 km under lithostatic conditions. Fluids associated with the overprinting phyllic alteration were slightly cooler (~370°C) and less saline (37–42 wt % NaCl equiv). Fluid inclusions in manganocalcite and sphalerite from epithermal carbonate sulfide veinlets trapped moderate-salinity (4–15 wt % NaCl equiv) fluids at ~290°C, whereas fluid inclusions hosted in barite and realgar from sooty pyrite veinlets were formed from low-temperature (~100°C) and low- to moderate-salinity (1–14 wt % NaCl equiv) fluids. These data indicate that the Au-mineralizing system at Copler progressed from a high-temperature porphyry system to a relatively low temperature, intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system. Deposition of gold in the early stages of epithermal mineralization resulted from cooling, sulfidation, and neutralization of predominantly magmatic sourced hydrothermal fluids, whereas a meteoric water component is evident in the latest stage of mineralization.Deposit-scale geologic observations combined with fluid inclusion and stable isotope evidence suggest that mineralization at Copler records activity of a relatively deep epithermal system and that its formation was structurally and lithologically controlled. Specifically, the thick, premineralization carbonate sequence once overlying the deposit acted as a pressure seal and also as a neutralizing agent during the build up of the magmatic-hydrothermal system. The weakening of this carbonate cover by igneous intrusion and subsequent hydrothermal activity may have contributed to later selective erosion of the alteration zone, thereby telescoping the intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system onto the earlier porphyry system and creating the Copler window." @default.
