Résumé : |
The Hannan South Au-Cu skarn deposit is located 12 km southeast of Kalgoorlie in the 2.7 Ga Eastern Goldfields Orogen of the Archean Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia. Two epidote-quartz-calcite-magnetite orebodies, controlled by the same reverse fault but separated by 450 m, occur in granodiorite porphyry: an Au-Cu skarn in the southeast (30 vol % calcite) and an Au-Co-Bi skarn in the northwest (5–10 vol % calcite). Both are interpreted as remnants of a single eroded body. Regional and skarn pressure estimates of 400 ± 150 MPa indicate formation at 14 ± 5 km paleodepth. Thermodynamic analysis of the silicate-calcite and oxide-sulfide assemblages constrains the temperature of the H2O-CO2 fluid to 480° to 530°C in the proximal SE skarn (0.5 wt % Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, 6 g/t Ag), and to 417° ± 32°C in the more distal NW skarn (1,500 t Au) at Kalgoorlie, and part of a larger genetic group including the diorite-hosted Boddington porphyry skarn deposit (968 Mt at 0.11% Cu and 0.65 g/t Au). |
