Abstract

Gold Mineralization in the eastern part of the Late Archaean Mahakoshal Belt is observed in sulphidic chert associated with banded ferruginous chert (BFC) and in quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins and quartz-carbonate veins emplaced into argillites, greywackes, carbonaceous phyllite and BFC. In the western part of the Mahakoshal belt gold mineralization is noticed in quartz-carbonate veins intruded along the lithological contacts between metabasalts and dolomitic limestone, and in quartz veins/quartz porphyry dykes within dolomitic limestone. Bulk of the gold mineralization is associated with quartzcarbonate and quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins, emplaced during the initial phase of deformation of the Mahakoshal Belt.
