- W3217505031 abstract "Ore studies using conventional petrographic methods have an intrinsic limitation that spatial (three-dimensional, 3-D) distribution, orientation, shape and mineral associations have to be inferred by 2-D observations and measurements. Further, developing statistically significant data sets is particularly difficult for gold ores, given the fine grain size and low gold abundance even in high-grade ores. We use high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) and improved processing methods to provide 3-D data of ore textures and in-situ gold particles to discern mineralization styles and improve ore recovery. This is a case study of the Archean, world-class Cuiabá orogenic gold deposit in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero province, the largest underground mine in Brazil. Selected samples represent distinct mineralization styles at the Cuiabá mine: BIF-hosted ore from the Fonte Grande Sul (FGS) orebody, and gold-bearing quartz-carbonate veins hosted in a metamafic unit from the Veio de Quartzo (VQZ) orebody. This study characterizes shape, size, orientation and mineral associations of over 16,000 gold particles. Segmentation and quantitative measurements of gold particles are particularly challenging due to their small grain size. This issue is addressed using the recently formalized partial volume and blurring (PVB) method. Gold mineralization styles differ in 3-D textural and quantitative aspects including size and spatial distribution. Analysis of the VQZ sample shows that gold particles are mainly free in the quartz-carbonate matrix, with many particles in direct contact with a diverse sulfide mineral assemblage. Gold particles in the BIF-hosted FGS ore form bands in association with high pyrrhotite zones within iron carbonate-rich bands. PVB analysis show that the long axis of measured particles in both ore types ranges from ∼25 μm to 1.4 mm, with median values around 115 μm. Larger particles dominantly are sub-equant to prolate spheroids, with smaller particles appearing to be dominantly sub-equant to equant grains. The HRXCT data reveal that the kinematic processes affect gold shape and orientation and indicate the influence of deformation at the grain scale." @default.
