The Estelle Intrusion Related IRGS Deposit Model

==> picture [92 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

**Korbel

Deposit
Model**

Nova’s
Korbel
deposit
is
a
classic
Intrusion
Related Gold
System
(IRGS)
type
deposit.
Economic
IRGS type
deposits
such
as
Fort
Knox
and
Eagle
are
low grade
mul=-­‐million-­‐ounce
open
pit
mines
occurring in
the
TGB. IRGS
deposits
commonly
form:

  • In
    the
    carapace
    of
    smaller,
    mul=phase
    plutonic bodies

  • Mineralized
    gold
    zones
    may
    extend
    from
    the cupola
    through
    into
    the
    thermal
    aureole surrounding
    the
    pluton

  • Conjugate
    sets
    of
    mineralized
    sheeted
    veins
    in late
    structures
    are
    typically
    emplaced
    coeval with
    the
    final
    stages
    of
    pluton
    crystalliza=on

  • • Proximal
    and
    distal
    types
    of
    IRGS
    deposits
    may also
    form
    in
    favorable
    structures
    beyond
    the thermal
    aureole
    surrounding
    the
    pluton

  • • Pathfinder
    elements
    to
    intrusion
    related
    gold deposits
    and
    the
    Korbel

    include

Deposit Types: Examples

**Korbel

Deposit
Mineraliza/on
Style**

The
mineraliza=on
is
characterized
by
a
conjugate
sets
of
sub–cen=meter
scale,
commonly
sheeted
quartz veins.
These
gold-­‐bearing,
veins
are
mineralized
with
arsenopyrite,
pyrite
and
pyrrho=te
and
the
host
intrusive rocks
to
the
veins
are
mineralized
with
disseminated
sulfides.

The
mineralized
bodies
are
similar
in
grade,
style of
mineraliza=on,

and
tonnage

to

**Magnetometer

In

completed
a ground

  • In

    a gradient
    of

  • These

    the significance
    of
    the
    “Valley Fault”,
    other
    key
    structures and
