- W2912888259 abstract "The 2.1-Ga-old Paleoproterozoic Dhanjori Group of rocks covers 800 sq. km area within the Singhbhum Crustal province of eastern India, and is composed of siliciclastic metasedimentary sequence interlayered with mafic to ultramafic rocks. The meta-volcanosedimentary sequence is deformed and is of low-grade greenschist metamorphic facies. The gold occurrences within the study area are confined to the sulphide hosted mafic/ultramafic volcanic rocks and also in the basal quartz pebble conglomerates (QPC) within the Dhanjori Formation. Gold mineralization within the mafic/ultramafic meta-volcanics formations occurs within the quartz ± carbonate vein i.e. lode gold and as detrital gold within the QPC (0.5−7 ppm) of Phuljhari Formations. Regional Audio Magnetotelluric (AMT) measurements across the geological domains of Dhanjori Group and Iron Ore Group (IOG) were carried out in the frequency range of 10 kHz–10 Hz. This work discusses the conductivity model from 3-D inversion along with geology and petrophysical properties in mapping the regional geological features, associated sulphide mineralization and influence of texture, grain and bulk properties on mineralization. Dimensionality and strike analysis of the AMT data indicate complex conductivity structures. 3-D inversion of off-diagonal component of impedance was performed for obtaining an optimum value of uniform half space initial resistivity and error floor for off-diagonal component of impedance data. These were used to perform 3-D inversion of full impedance to produce a conductivity model of the study area. The conductivity model delineated major geological boundaries and the sulphide bearing mineralized zone. A major conductor is observed which extends to a depth of ∼250 m within meta-volcanics. On comparison with the available borehole adjacent to this, it is confirmed that the conductor corresponds to sulphide mineralization. The resistivity low at a depth of 150 m coincides with metabasalts (pyrite present which extends to 159 m with arsenopyrite). Another mineralized zone is observed at the boundary of iron ore group volcanics and Proterozoic-gabbro-anorthosite-ultramafics (PGAU), it starts appearing from a depth of ∼400 m and can be seen which extends to a depth of ∼800 m. It is worth mentioning that there lies Kundarkocha gold mine in the same geological domain. In addition, near surface conductor to a maximum depth of ∼50 m is observed all along the AMT profile. The sediments and fluids could account for this conducting feature. This is in agreement with available Electrical Resistivity Tomography section. The borehole within Dhanjori Volcanics also detected sulphide mineralization for ∼50 m. Thus, it can be inferred that the near surface conductor indicates the presence of gold in association with other sulphide minerals. The petrophysical studies helped to estimate the concentration of minerals within the rocks. High density and low susceptibilities in the area is an indicative of low-grade metamorphism and low level of serpentenization. Combined density and susceptibility scatter diagram and component proportion phase diagram suggests 20 vol%, 78 vol% and 2 vol% of haematite/sulphides, barren rocks and magnetite respectively. The high value of chargeability and negligible value of susceptibility indicates the presence of disseminated sulphides rather than haematites and/or massive sulphides in the rocks. Ternary plot suggest that the mineralization is controlled by texture and grain properties. Petrophysical analysis suggests that the lithotypes of the study area are similar to those of greenstone terrain in the Abitibi Subprovince. Integrating inverted section, geology and petrophysical properties has a substantial impact on the study area in terms of predicting the mineralization prospect and at the same time substantially reduces the drilling cost. Thus, the study provides a new orientation and advancement to the exploration strategy for deeper deposits." @default.
