Abstract:Most of the goldbearing samples are clustered in two areas.The highest concentrations of gold (2.6-140 ppm) occur, just west of Table Mountain, in black biotite schist and in quartz veins adjacent to a fault zone that is intruded by a hypabyssal felsic dike. Five kilometers to the northeast, where a small granite pluton crops out, gold was detected in lesser amounts ( 0.05-0.2 ppm) in country rocks adjacent to the granite, in the granite adjacent to dikes, and in felsic dikes. The occurrences have a simple min… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
