This book describes the nature and origin of the Macraes gold deposit. It also documents the key features of this spectacular deposit for a wide range of professionals in the resource geology community. This world-class gold deposit has been a spectacular geological and economic success story, as it has developed from a small historical gold mine in discontinuous quartz veins measuring only meters to a large-scale mine in deposits spreading over kilometres in extensive disseminated gold-bearing rock.
Introduction.- Geological setting.- Host rocks.- Large scale structure.- Mesoscopic structure.- Mineralogy and paragenesis.- Geochemistry.- Graphite.- Isotopic studies.- Genesis.- Mining, processing and environmental issues.- Conclusions.- Acknowledgements.- References.
