Abstract

Examples of ancient associations between gold mineralization and high-K rocks in postcollisional arc settings include the spatial and temporal associations between Archaean shoshonitic lamprophyres and mesothermal lode-gold deposits in the Superior Province, Canada (Wyman and Kerrich 1989a), including associations with very large gold deposits at Hollinger-McIntyre and KerrAddison-Chesterville (Burrows and Spooner 1989; Spooner 1993), and in the Leonora-Laverton and New Celebration-Kambalda regions of the eastern Yilgarn Block, Western Australia (Perring et al. 1989a; Rock et al. 1989; Barley and Groves 1990; Taylor et al. 1994). These associations are discussed in Sections 7.5 and 7.4, respectively.
