==> picture [92 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [338 x 399] 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
deposit
include
As,
Bi, Te
and

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,

type
and
tonnage

to
the
Fort

and

which
are
