Ti Tree Creek
Sample N0 73923 [256]:
This sample is typical of the granular garnet-pyroxene skarn. The clinopyroxenes
contain some fluid inclusions, range in size from 0.05 to 2 mm, are colourless in thin section,
show no pleochroism, are sub- to euhedral and are commonly poikilitic (with the inclusions
now replaced by retrograde assemblages). The clinopyroxenes from all three deposits are
salites in composition, being between 50 - 90 mole % diopside (Appendix A). These
clinopyroxenes are occasionally included in the cores of large garnets, as if the garnets
nucleated on them. More often, the clinopyroxenes are present in areas dominated by quartz
and calcite and seem to be coexisting with the garnets.
The garnets are creamy brown, large (averaging 1 mm but ranging up to 2.5 mm in
diameter), anisotropic, zoned, often sector-twinned and usually euhedral. The most euhedral
garnets always are surrounded by areas of quartz and calcite which is explained by Becke's
crystalloblastic series. This series ranks minerals according to their "force of crystallisation"
and if a mineral crystallises against a mineral that is lower in this series then the crystallising
mineral will have a euhedral form (Webb, 1974).
Sample N° 73932 [309]:
This sample is a very fme grained, light to dark green, silicious, pyroxene hornfels.
Such rocks are rare at the other two deposits due to the dominance of garnet (Fletcher's Adit)
and the extent of retrograde alteration (Stormont). This skarn unit consists of approximately
70-80 modal % equigranular satite, averaging 0.1 mm in diameter. The rest of the rock is
comprised of quartz, minor feldspar and calcite. This pyroxene hornfels is cross-cut by
numerous veins containing minerals associated with retrograde alteration and mineralization.
Sample N0 73929 [302]:
This sample is a very rare rock type, being seen at only two locations in the Ti Tree
Creek area. The rock consists of a partially replaced, stalked echinoderm-bearing biosparite
(plate 9). The limestone has been replaced by silica with minor anhedral grains of pyrrhotite.
The reaction front is botyroidal in fonn, and the transition between undisturbed limestone and
'I the combination of quartz (::=SS%), relict carbonate grains (40%) and pyrrhotite (::=S%) is
abrupt. Pyrrhotite grains define bands that run parallel to the irregular lobate fonn of the
reaction front, and occasionally infill the small holes that are characteristic of the echinodenn
arm plates.
The obvious question is: Does this metasomatic stage represent an early event (i.e. the
first pulse of granitic fluids which encounter the limestone) or a late one (i.e. the last pulse of
fluids that have moved through the underlying skarn, and in doing so have deposited all their
metalliferous content except for a small quantity of iron)? The following factors argue for a late
origin:
1) Pyrrhotite elsewhere in the Moina area is only seen in a mid to late paragenetic
position (Tables 1,2 and 3).
2) The unaffected limestone only a few millimetres away from the reaction front is not
re-crystallised, indicating that fluid temperatures were more likely to be in the range of 200
300°C than 400-S00oC.
3) There are no pyroxenes, garnets or vesuvianites present which are the high
temperature, early metasomatic phases seen elsewhere in the area.
Sample N0 73914 [109]:
This sample represents a metasomatised and mineralized interbedded, hornfelsic shale
and calcarenite. This rock consists of three coloured bands:
1) The green calcarenite unit contains poikilitic actinolite and anhedral grains (up to 10
mm) of pyrrhotite. ,
2) The transitional zone between the calcarenite and the hornfelsic shale is a thin (less
than 10 mm) white band which is extremely fine grained «O.OOS mm) and looks to be
comprised of actinolite-(?)wollastonite-(?)vesuvianite-quartz (which could not be in
equilibrium).
3) The hornfelsic shale has a characteristic pink/purple colouration and contains very
fine grained «O.OOS mm) quartz-biotite-sericite.
The transitional white band may represent where hydrothennal fluids have moved
along the penneable sandstone layer and have interacted with the hornfelsic shale.
Alternatively this white transitional zone may represent a bimetasomatic reaction band, where
activity gradients have been sufficiently high to facilitate elemental transfer. Either hypothesis
would be troublesome to prove given the grain sizes involved.
Fletcher's Adit
Sample N0 73904 [28]:
This sample is a typical example of the metasomatised calcarenites that are positioned
stratigraphically below the massive skarn. The rock consists of large (up to 5 mm) emerald
green, sector-twinned, euhedral uvarovite garnets (Plate 19), minor clinopyroxene, fluorite,
green and brown vesuvianite (which can easily be mistaken for uvarovite and andradite garnet,
respectively) and coarse actinolite fibres.
The er-rich gamet (and to a lesser extent the vesuvianite) seems to be restricted to the
metasomatised calcarenites. The uvarovites also appear to have a slightly later paragenetic
position than the andradites, which is indicated by one uvarovite's rim incorporating a large
lath of actinolite.
RETROGRADE ALTERATION
Ti Tree Creek
Sample N0 73933 [311]:
This sample displays a zonation in the alteration assemblage which is centred around a
large vein. Furthest away from the vein, actinolite-quartz-calcite grades into chlorite-magnetite
and then into chlorite-epidote-calcite-quartz-fluorite nearest the vein. The vein contains
fluorite, quartz, calcite, epidote and pyrite.
Fletcher's Adit�
Sample N° 73903 [27]:�
This sample shows a well-defmed zonation within a major vein. From centre to rim the
zonation changes from: coarse fluorite to coarse sericitized. K-feldspar to fine grained quartz.
Then the host skarn continues the zonation in the form of magnetite to chlorite with minor
actinolite and finally to actinolite.
There is also a zonation in alteration across the length of the thin section, from
unaltered andradite to actinolite-quartz-zoisite-fluorite to the amorphous, aphanitic, brown
alteration assemblage of actinolite-calcite-iron oxides-quartz to magnetite-fluorite-feldspar and
finally to sericitised feldspar-fluorite. This spatial zonation in alteration is very similar to the
temporal sequence determined via replacement and cross-cutting relationships.
Sample N0 73901 [24]:
This sample represents extreme retrograde alteration, containing large actinolite fibres
(up to 10 mm long) that radiate in a sheath-like fashion. These areas show no evidence of pre
o existing textures, and contain up to 95% actinolite, 5% interlocking quartz grains and minor
late Mg-rich chlorite. Bordering these areas, the actinolite is corroded by a fine grained
assemblage of chlorite-fluorite-quartz. Within this fine grained zone patches of coarse fluorite
associated. with tabular crystals of green mica exist In places the green mica can be seen to
pseudomorph the actinolite fibres.
•�
Sample N° 73920 [214]:
This is a superb example of how the actinolite (and in this case magnetite) is restricted
to zones containing clinopyroxene. Plate 28 depicts areas of equigranular salite breaking down
to fibrous actinolite and disseminated magnetite, while garnets nearby remain completely
unaltered. The lack of retrograde alteration in some garnet-rich zones may also be a result of
decreased permeability in these areas.
Sample N°s 73898 [20] and 73902 [25]:
Both samples are examples of wrigglite banding. In Sample N° 73898 [20] the lighter
coloured band consists of fluorite and chlorite (with a chlorite:fluorite ratio fluctuating from
70:30 to 60:40), while the dark bands consist of magnetite, pyrrhotite and pyrite (in varying
proportions). The banding can be almost straight, broadly curved or tightly curved (Plate 17).
The chlorite may have been either crystallised with the fluorite or was present before the
generation of these bands. The latter suggestion seems likely as the F and Fe-rich fluids would
need a permeable material to infiltrate through.
The existence of sharp angles (=15-200) in continuous bands is difficult (but not
impossible) to explain using the diffusing, alternating, supersaturating fluid model proposed
by Kwak and Askins (1981a and b). The "wrigglite" is cut by late fluorite-feldspar-opaque
veins and even later Mg-rich chlorite and minor carbonate veins.
Sample 73898 [25] is a superb example of how the abundance of fluorite crystals
increases as the fluid becomes supersaturated in F. Fluorite gradually becomes more abundant
until large amounts of crystals are precipitated in a discontinuous band, then the fluid rapidly
becomes saturated in: Fe and deposits a continuous band of magnetite ± pyrrhotite, pyrite and
chalcopyrite. Plate 30 displays the results of this alternation in supersaturation, although in this
example there is little gradation in fluorite abundance up to the band of opaque minerals.
Stormont
Sample N° 73943 [332]:
This sample represents pervasive epidote and actinolite alteration at Stormont. The
epidotes are euhedral, average 0.4 mm long and are often zoned. Coarse fibres of actinolite
(up to 0.8 mm long) are always later than the euhedral epidotes. Areas where epidote is the
dominant mineral (up to 95 modal %) alternate with areas where actinolite occurs in similar
proportions. These zones may represent pre-existing areas of garnet and salite dominated
zones, respectively.
Stormont commonly contains veins that display complex zonations, formed by late
fluids infiltrating the permeable actinolite-rich portions of the skarn and altering the host rock
types to varying degrees. A typical vein-associated mineral assemblage zonation is given
below (from central to outer regions):
- Coarse feldspar (displaying patchy sericitisation) and fluorite, with minor hexagonal
quartz, chlorite and magnetite.
- Small laths of muscovite, with their long axes orientated perpendicular to the plane
that contains the vein.
- A fine grained mosaic of chlorite (=40%), biotite (=:20%), disseminated magnetite
and pyrite (=:15%), and minor vesuvianite-sericite-K-feldspar-quartz (=:5%).
- Same as above but with no biotite.
- Euhedral epidote (=:95%) with minor disseminated opaques and quartz (=:5%).
- Alternating bands of actinolite ± quartz-opaques-fluorite and epidote ± quartz-
disseminated opaques-chlorite.
Sample N0 73938 [325]:
The dominant retrograde assemblage in this sample is calcite-iron oxides-quartz, which
is extremely fine grained, brown in colour and very late in the paragenesis. This low
temperature alteration assemblage first develops in actinolite-rich areas, but eventually can be
seen to corrode and replace garnets and epidotes. In hand specimen and thin section, this
brown pervasive retrograde assemblage can be seen to originate from fractures and inftltrate
the more permeable zones in the host (usually actinolite and chlorite dominated rock types).
Sample N0 73941 [330]:
A temporal zonation in retrograde alteration is well-preserved in this rock type. The
three zones outlined below (from least altered to most) are approximately 10 mm in width and
grade into one another over 1-1.5 mm.
1) Relatively unaltered skarn consisting of zoned, sector-twinned, anisotropic garnets
with mottled cores (70%), interstitial calcite (20%), and some epidote (occasionally included in
the rims of the garnets) and actinolite laths (10%). Salite pseudomorphs are present (now
calcite and actinolite), and both the garnets and epidotes have rims that are mildly embayed.
2) A granular aggregate of euhedral epidote (89%), interstitial quartz (8%) and minor
actinolite-calcite (2%). The small amounts of actinolite and calcite seem to originate from
epidote corrosion.
3) The most altered area of the skarn, consisting of the retrograde assemblage actinolite
(50%), calcite(30%), epidote (9%) and a later brown aphanitic alteration assemblage (10%).
The epidote in this zone is strongly embayed.
The above zonation represents the retrograde paragenetic sequence from garnet to
epidote-quartz to actinolite-calcite.

ESTIMATION OF SALINITY AND pH
a) Salinity:
From fluid inclusion studies at Shepherd and Murphy (2 km east of Ti Tree Creek), the
average ore-forming fluid is known to have had a salinity of approximately 30-40 wt % NaCl
(Kwak and Askins, 1981). Stormont is however situated in a more distal position to the
under-lying granite, and has it's Bi- Au mineralizing stage positioned very late in it's
paragenesis. Therefore, Stormont should have ore-forming fluids that are less saline than
those at Shepherd and Murphy.
The conversion from wt % NaCI to M NaCI is as follows:
30 wt % NaCI =5.13 M NaCI
40 wt % NaCI =6.80 M NaCI
Therefore a reasonable estimate for the salinity of the ore-forming fluids at Storrnont (as well
as Fletcher's Adit and Ti Tree Creek) is::=4 M NaCl.
Thus, log acr = 100.602
J
b) pH:
3KAlSi30S + 2H+ =KA13Si3010(OHh + 2K+ + 6Si02
[3K-feldspar +2H+ =Muscovite +2K+ + 6Quartz]
Therefore log K =2log aK+ + 2pH
at 250 QC log Keq = 8.12 (Helgeson, 1969, P 779)
Let aK+ = 10-1.0 (Huston and Large, 1988, p 9)
Thus , pH = 5.05 o
This pH defines the boundary between the muscovite and K-feldspar stability fields.
Muscovite is stable at pHs < 5.05, while K-feldspar is stable at pHs > 5.05, given that T =
250 QC and aK+ =10-1.0.
Stormont has greisen veins which contain abundant muscovite and only minor K
feldspar, thus a good approximation of the pH of the ore-forming fluids at Stormont would be
• 4.
Fletcher's Adit has more K-feldspar than Stormont, but muscovite still dominates over
K-feldspar, thus the approximate pH of mineralising fluids was usually 4, but occasionally
reached 5-6.
Ti Tree Creek has only minor K-feldspar (very late) and virtually no muscovite, thus
here the pH is difficult to estimate with any degree of certainty.

1000 InUCM = 1.69(106rr2) + 1.68 (Wenner and Taylor, 1971)
L1Chl-Mt = 1.69(106!f2) + 1.68
-', Therefore....
L1Mt-ChI =-1.69(106!f2) - 1.68
OMt - 0Chl - (OH20 - OChI) =L1Mt - H20
L1Mt - H20 = L1Mt - ChI - L1H20 - ChI
= (-1.69[106!f2] - 1.68) + (1.56[106rr2] - 4.7)
= (-0.13 x 106rr2 ) - 6.38 (Huston pers. comm., 1990)
Therefore... 0180H20 = 0180Mt + (0.13 x 106/T2 ) + 6.38
