Résumé : |
The five papers that follow describe diverse aspects of epithermal gold-silver deposits and genetically related hydrothermal systems in the Hauraki goldfield on the Coromandel peninsula of the North Island of New Zealand (Fig. 1). The Hauraki goldfield contains more than 50 Miocene and Pliocene epithermal Au-Ag deposits and several porphyry Cu-Au-Mo occurrences in a 200-km-long by 40-km-wide north-south–trending belt (Fig. 1C; Christie et al., 2007). Production from these deposits between 1862 and 2009 totaled approx. 335,000 kg (10.8 Moz) of Au and 1.6 million kg (51.4 Moz) of Ag (Mauk et al., 2011). The epithermal deposits are related to subaerial hydrothermal systems hosted in rocks of the early Miocene to late Pliocene (~18–1.9 Ma) Coromandel volcanic zone (Skinner, 1986).
