Photo 2: Ribboned quartz veins filling syn-

mineralization faults (left) and linking vein arrays and

faults in areas of complex vein development.

Note abundant irregular extension veins adjacent to the

ribboned vein at left. Ribboning is caused by thin slivers of

altered wallrock and chlorite-carbonate-pyrite +/-

arsenopyrite stylolites.

Photo 1: Stope face on 100 level west

The image show the nature of the vein system mined here, which

comprises a west-northwest trending array of quartz extension

veins with locally sigmoidal geometry.

The vein array is developed in ultramafic rocks adjacent to a

porphyry dyke, which is visible on the left in photo. The sheeted

nature of veins in the back is visible at the top of photo.

illustrating stylolitic white quartz veining with visible

gold from a stylolitic quartz vein system with

chlorite-carbonate-pyrite altered wallrock slivers that

is consistent in style with the en echelon vein arrays.

Photos A and B are close-ups of stylolitic ribboned

chlorite-rich bands in the system partially zone

shown in B, containing multiple grains and blebs of

native gold. Note aggregates of pale grey

Fe-carbonate in lower left portion of photo B.
