地區(qū)地質(zhì)學(xué)
礦區(qū)勘探的地質(zhì)學(xué)由早期的碳化的變質(zhì)沉積宕(圖5)決定,侵入到花崗巖和斜長(zhǎng)花崗巖的Kolbinsky侵入雜巖。 花崗巖是當(dāng)?shù)睾谠颇赴郀罨◢弾r并在整個(gè)地區(qū)作為小型巖墻存在。
變質(zhì)沉積宕巖石的地層學(xué)是反射細(xì)微的沉積相的變化。 在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)化的意識(shí)中, 4種巖性巖套通過(guò)鑒定: Arkoliskaya; Kompectinskaya; Baysumskaya; 以及Dalakarinskaya。 在這些巖套中形成不同的低,中層和上層組合, Arkoliskaya為維憲時(shí)期并且包括沙巖,偏硅酸巖,石灰石,石英砂和硅質(zhì)片巖。 Dalakarinskaya包括硬砂巖、沙巖和沙泥巖。
變質(zhì)沉積宕巖石通常在西北到東南方,與地區(qū)的地貌斷層(圖5)并不一致。斷層很少在北西北到西北到南東南方和東西方廣泛分布。南東南方斷層系統(tǒng)趨向通過(guò)勘測(cè)地區(qū),對(duì)礦化作用進(jìn)行基本的控制。 小型巖墻一般在西北東南方。

GEOLOGY OVERVIEW
5.1 Regional Geology
The geology of the Kuludjun Prospect is dominated by Early Carboniferous metasedimentary rocks (Figure 5) which have been intruded by granite and plagiogranite stocks of the Kolbinsky intrusive complex. Granites are locally biotite-phyric and occur as small dykes throughout the area.
The stratigraphy of the metasedimentary rocks is complex reflecting subtle facies variations. In a simplistic sense four lithological suites are identified: Arkoliskaya; Kompectinskaya; Baysumskaya; and Dalakarinskaya. Within these suites are units variously termed the lower, middle and upper formations. The Arkoliskaya Suite has been dated as Visean and comprises metasilstones, sandstones, limestones, quartzites and siliceous schists. The Dalakarinskaya Suite comprises greywacke sandstones and siltstones.
The metasedimentary rocks generally strike northwest to southeast which is consistent with the dominant regional fault orientation (Figure 5). Faults rarely trend north-northwest to south-southeast and broadly east-west. A significant north-northwest to south-southeast trending fault system runs through the prospect and appears to exert a fundamental control on mineralization. Small dykes generally strike northwest-southeast.
A regional metamorphic fabric is variably developed and presents as shales, slates and rarely phyllites. The metasediments are tightly folded and form north-northwest to south-southeast trending anticlines and synclines in the southern part of the Kuludjun Licence. Fold limbs dip at 50° to 85°.
5.2 Prospect Geology
Two lithological units crop out throughout the field area and are designated Qnb and Qnc (Figure 6). Both units form part of the Early Carboniferous metasedimentary rocks. Qnb metasedimentary rocks are the dominant lithology and are the main host to mineralization. In the vicinity of the Veseloe and Aleksandrovskoye Zones the Cjnb unit comprises grey-brown to grey-green, medium to very coarse grained, strongly indurated, quartz-lithic sandstones (Figure 7) and lesser siltstones, with well developed shaley and slatey foliation (Figure 8). Qnc metasedimentary rocks comprise fissile (Figure 9), light brown to grey-brown, claystones, micaceous siltstones and occasional grey-brown, fine grained lithic sandstones.
Structurally the Kuludjun Licence can be divided into two zones which are separated by a north-northwest to south-southeast trending regional fault zone (henceforth termed the Bapern-Veseloe Fault) and associated subparallel faults (henceforth termed the Aleksandrovskoye and Skalistoe Faults). To the northeast ofthe Bapern-Veseloe Fault the Qnb metasediments generally strike parallel to the fault and dip steeply (55-80°) to the northeast (Figure 6).
To the southwest of the Bapern-Veseloe Fault intercalated units of Cjnb and C^rf metasedimentary rocks crop out with a broadly north-northeast to south-southwest strike, although structure is locally complicated by folding and faulting. The outcrop pattern of the Cjii0 unit is indicative of doubly-plunging, moderate to tight, anticlinal and synclinal folds with north-northeast to south-southwest trending fold axes.
The dip of the major faults is not shown on the geological map and it is not possible to determine the sense of movement. However, the presence of quartz lodes and quartz-vein zones along all major faults (Figure 6), indicates that the faults have exerted a major control on mineralization. In detail, mineralization appears preferentially developed where faults splay and/or their strike rotates towards a northwest-southeast orientation. In cross-section, Veseloe Zone mineralization dips moderately (ca. 45°) to the northeast (e.g. Figure 10).

5.3 Mineralisation
Eleven prospects (Figure 6) have been identified at Kuludjun to date. Of these six are intimately associated with the Bapern-Veseloe fault, one is associated with the Aleksandrovskoye Fault and two are associated with the Skalistoe Fault. The relationship of the Somnitelnoe and Nagornoe mineralized zones to regional structures is unknown.
Quartz-Gold Mineralization
Most of the gold mineralization at Kuludjun is associated with quartz lodes, sheeted and stockwork quartz veins, and quartz stringer zones (Figures 10 and 11) which are locally up to 50 metres wide. Individual quartz lodes are up to two metres wide and typically comprise milk white to light grey, massive mesocrystalline quartz, with locally well developed stylonodular fabric (Figures 12 and 17). Breccias comprising angular clasts of silicified sandstone healed by multiphase, light grey to white quartz (Figure 13) are locally developed.
Vein zones occur either side of the quartz lodes and comprise multiple generations of stockwork (Figure

14) and sheeted quartz veins and veinlets. Individual veinlets are generally less than five millimetres wide and display a variety of morphologies. Foliation-parallel quartz veinlets are locally pervasive (Figures 18-21) and may be cross-cut by several generations of slightly thicker but less abundant veins (Figures 18-20). Some veins are disharmonically folded (Figures 15 and 19), boudinaged (Figures 15 and 22) and/or sheared (Figures 21 and 22). Silicification of the wallrocks is common (Figure 16).
The presence of foliation-parallel quartz veins indicates that at least one phase of vein formation occurred coincident with folding and development of axial-planar cleavage. Cross-cutting, boudinaged and sheared veins attest to multiple phases of vein development and post-mineralization fault movement.
Available evidence indicates that hypogene gold occurs both as free gold within quartz lodes and in association with finely disseminated arsenical pyrite in wallrocks (e.g. Figure 22). Free gold is also present in oxide zones and was the main target of the historic bedrock mining. The secondary arsenic mineral scorodite is locally14) and sheeted quartz veins and veinlets.

Free gold is also present in oxide zones and was the main target of the historic bedrock mining. The secondary arsenic mineral scorodite is locallydeveloped in association with oxidized quartz veins (Figure 14). SRKES did not study the metallurgical implications of the gold-arsenical pyrite association, but recommends that a detailed metallurgical study is conducted on the various oxide and supergene ore types. Ore with free gold should be amenable to cyanide heap-leaching.
Quartz-Gold-Sheelite±Antirnony Mineralization
Gold has also been reported in the immediate vicinity of the Kuludjun Deposit in association with quartz-gold-scheelite veins and quartz-gold-scheelite-antimony veins. SRKES did not visit either style of mineralization in the field and cannot comment on the significance, but notes that quartz veins containing scheelite are most probably associated with the granite and plagiogranite stocks. That the veins contain gold is significant and introduces the possibility of intrusion-related gold targets.
Historic data indicates that quartz-gold-scheelite-antimony veins are present at the Somnitelnoe Prospect and it is recommended that future exploration also focuses on potential intrusive targets.
