1 Gidji Lake formation - Key Stratigraphic marker for World Class Gold Deposits of Kalgoorlie Presentation to CSIRO - July 2017 Please reference this document if the slides, figures or concepts are to be used externally: Tripp, G I, Stratigraphy and Structure in the Neoarchaean of the Kalgoorlie district, Australia: Critical Controls on Greenstone hosted Gold Deposits, PhD thesis (unpublished), James Cook University, Townsville.
2 Kalgoorlie Stratigraphy Major field program initiated by Placer Dome (2004), advanced by Barrick (2007) Key thing is we held most of the ground Principal new data sets: Geological mapping (John Crossing et al.) re-logging drill chips (2 senior geologists +2 years) lithogeochemistry (Halley + team) stratigraphic/structural core logging (Barrick) regional geophysics (John Coggan) structural analysis targeted geochronology Key Goal: make a FORMATION MAP from an extensive and detailed lithology map

5 Gold Camps ~100 Moz Au within 50 km radius of Kalgoorlie
6 Kalgoorlie a World Class gold district >100 Million ounces of gold from 8 mining camps in a 50 km radius Major camps include: Golden Mile Moz; Kambalda +12 Moz; Kanowna - +7 Moz; Kundana Moz; New Celebration +5 Moz ; Mount Pleasant - +3 Moz; Mount Monger +2 Moz-; Binduli - +2 Moz; Ora Banda +2 Moz and many other small occurrences that contribute to the total endowment. Robert et al. (2005) three recurring host-rock associations account for a majority of large Archaean Gold deposits globally: 1. Iron-rich mafic igneous rocks, 2. Iron-rich sedimentary rocks, and 3. Felsic to intermediate porphyry stocks and dikes Iron-rich rocks: high Fe / (Fe + Mg) content, are chemically favourable hosts (Fe-enriched dolerite, high-fe tholeiite, banded iron formation) Iron rich layers within differentiated dolerite sills and sedimentary rocks have a combined ironenrichment and rheological competence contrast Felsic intrusions, and the sedimentary rocks they intruded, can also host world class gold deposits - so Fe enrichment is a bonus, but not exclusive, and suggests that more fundamental processes are in play than just the host rock chemistry

9 Stratigraphy, Structure and Gold Exploration So Why? Is the key question Why is almost half of the gold endowment of the EGP contained within 50 Km of Kalgoorlie? Majority at Fimiston.. ± Kanowna, HBJ and Victory-Defiance Placer and Barrick programmes were about understanding the geochemical, stratigraphic and structural features that coincide with major gold deposits PLACER: factual data collection field mapping, drill hole re-logging, lithogeochemistry, geophysics, 3D modelling FOR TARGETING BARRICK: stratigraphy to make a FORMATION MAP, identify major unconformities, exploit all previous high quality data sets to PROVIDE TARGETS

11 Stratigraphy is key What do the favourable units look like, and where are they? There is a spatial relationship between World Class gold deposits and an unconformity in the the Black Flag Group A A

19 The Conglomerate/Gold relationship Spatial relationships between late clastic unconformable conglomerate and major gold districts documented in all Neoarchaean terranes globally Western Australia: Kurrawang Abitibi: Timiskaming LVGF: Kavirondian Dharwar: Palkanmardi Late clastic rocks mark the onset of orogenesis in greenstone belts (Robert et al. 2005) developed as syn-orogenic basins demonstrated by strong linear distributions of lithofacies with major fault controls on at least one margin (Krapez et al. 2010)
20 Three possible explanations SEALS late clastic sequences covered a much wider lateral area than the present day linear remnants; major gold deposits located in the upper parts of the greenstone stratigraphy, sedimentary rocks acted as a sub-regional hydrothermal seal ; allowed upper greenstone segments to overpressure, fracture and release magmatic sourced, metal rich oxidised fluids that would mix with basinal reduced fluids MAJOR FAULTS major shear zones controlled the linear distribution of late clastic rocks, and conglomerate-gold relationship could be one in which the fault-preserved conglomerate remnants identify major crustal-tapping structures that were long-lived and controlled major fluid flow and gold precipitation. Linear distribution of gold deposits within a certain proximity to major shear zones is an empirical criterion commonly applied in exploration for gold deposits (Groves 2000; Weinberg et al. 2004) PRESERVATION areas with the youngest stratigraphic units have the potential to preserve the thickest sections of greenstone stratigraphy. In many Archaean sequences worldwide, the presence of multiple mineralisation styles and timings is well documented. Since those styles include some syngenetic deposits and high-level intrusion-related systems, the potential to preserve early mineral systems will require extensive depocentres that were not significantly eroded during the orogenic phase, and the presence of thick sequences of the youngest syn-orogenic sedimentary rocks will identify those areas of preferential preservation.
21 SUMMARY: The Conglomerate/Gold relationship Remnant unconformable late coarse clastic rocks indicate stratigraphic preservation and potentially preservation of early formed mineralisation components (at a REGION scale) EGP (Kurrawang Unconformity) Abitibi (Timiskaming Unconformity) Lake Victoria Goldfields (Kavirondian Unconformity) Dharwar India (Palkanmardi Unconformity) But at a CAMP scale, there is an earlier stage unconformity that has spatial association with major gold deposits; Golden Mile/Kanowna Belle/Binduli; also documented at Gokona,Tanzania LVGF (6 Moz; Lower to Upper Nyanzian unconformity Au in vein clasts in conglomerate) IMPLICATION: Major gold camps have multiple mineralisation events in the same geographic area separated by time and geological events = fundamental and long-lived structural controls, revealed by the stratigraphy

Mapping the unconformity defines a search space for syn-volcanic 2660 Ma live faults STRATIGRAPHY is the key for explorers 4. Early high level mineralisation styles of intermediate to high sulphidation state at the Golden Mile (Larcombe) now eroded 5. Overprinting by orogenic phase is crucial to World Class systems multiple events in the same location = fundamental early structures hit again and again
