Distribution and localization of gold in Meguma Group rocks, Nova Scotia: implications of metal distribution patterns in quartz veins and host rocks on mineralization processes at Harrigan Cove, Halifax County.
Abstract
The contents of Au, As, Sb and W in metagreywacke, slate and quartz veins from Harrigan Cove (M.A.87M/5641), were determined by NAA. The gold-bearing veins occur in the Goldenville formation, the lower sandy flysch member of the Cambrian-Lower Ordovician Meguma group of eastern Nova Scotia. The Harrigan Cove metagreywacke and slate are strongly As-enriched (arsenopyrite) and weakly enhanced in gold relative to similar barren lithologies. …
