“Ores and structure have been dealt with in detail; but the important changes which adjacent rocks of
known composition have suffered are too often briefly dismissed, or even incorrectly indicated.”

W. Lindgren (1902)

ABSTRACT

Propylitic alteration is typically the most extensive and peripheral alteration facies developed around
porphyry ore deposits. Consequently, with exploration increasingly focused on searching under cover, it
may be the only indicator of prospectivity. Understanding its relationship to mineralisation is therefore
crucial. However, the genesis of propylitic alteration is poorly understood: deposit models generally
assume isochemical processes driven by heated meteoric water. Here, the Northparkes porphyry deposits
(NSW), are used to test this paradigm and show how alteration mineral chemistry could assist exploration
targeting.

Alteration surrounding each Northparkes deposit is zoned from an inner potassic (K-feldspar-biotite)
assemblage, through a magnetite-biotite annulus, out into widespread and coeval propylitic (epidote-
chlorite) alteration. The quantified net geochemical effects of alteration demonstrate that propylitisation
is not isochemical, rather elements are mobilised and dispersed across various facies. Elements lost during
potassic alteration are gained in the propylitic zone (e.g. Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Co, As) while others either decrease
in abundance outwards (e.g. Cu, Au, S, K, Al, Si) or display a halo of elevated values (e.g. Zn, Mn, Pb, C).

Investigation of epidote and chlorite chemistry reveals these minerals may host ore-related elements (e.g.
Bi, As, Zn, Mn), the concentration of which, along with others (e.g. Ti, Al), is found to vary systematically
around mineralised centres. Such trends indicate hypogene dispersion, controlled primarily by
temperature and S2; they have the potential to transform exploration in the propylitic domain.

Oxygen isotope geothermometry suggests potassic alteration occurred between ~600-700oC in magmatic
centres, persisting to ~450 oC upon transition into propylitic alteration. Across the propylitic facies
temperature progressively decreases outwards to <250oC. The oxygen, hydrogen and strontium isotopic
composition of alteration minerals support the involvement of magmatic fluids in all alteration zones.
Collectively, the results provide robust evidence that propylitic alteration is a distal equivalent of potassic
alteration, driven by spent magmatic-derived ore fluids as they migrate away from thermal centres, cooling
and equilibrating with country rocks.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This thesis is dedicated to my parents, David and Joan, and grandparents Walter and Olive, their
unwavering support and advice to always “just do your best” is what has got me here so far. Initial thanks
must go to Jamie Wilkinson and David Cooke for the inception of this research project and provision of
primary funds. Jamie Wilkinson also provided thorough reviews of the subsequent chapters and helped
shape the progression of scientific ideas.

The project has been a huge undertaking with innumerable ups and downs. Over 100 people and 26
organisations have been involved to some extent; it has required personal travel in excess of 90,000 miles,
three months of fieldwork at Northparkes Mines and processing of over 400 hundred samples. In total, 143
(long!) days of analytical laboratory work were personally conducted, in addition to countless months of
sample preparation. Perhaps the most memorable preparation work (for the wrong reasons!) was hand
picking, by my reckoning, ~50,000 <0.5 mm long grains of epidote, chlorite and quartz for isotopic analysis.

Funding for the project was largely provided through an industrial consortium of 21 mining corporations,
represented by the Australian Minerals Industry Research Association (AMIRA) Project 1060. Rio Tinto,
previous owner of the Northparkes Mines, kindly covered the cost of whole rock analyses and many
logistical expenses. All isotope work was independently funded through a Natural Environment Research
Council (NERC) grant, IP-1541-0515. Extra financial support was also gratefully received from the Society of
Economic Geologists (SEG) Graduate Student Fellowship Program.

At Northparkes, this work would not have been possible without the cooperation of Rio Tinto and China
Molybdenum Ltd, represented on a personal level by the help and assistance of the geological and core
shed staff. Most notably I’d like to thank, in no particular order: Darren Priest, Richard Lesh, Jeneta Owens,
Adam Schwarz, Malcolm Drummond, Danny O'Leary, Samantha Barfield, Pamela Naidoo-Ameglio, Brian
Kay, Jonathon Hoye, Eric Ronald, Katrina Thiel, Kate Umbers, Dave Richards and Jacques Batumike. Richard
Lesh deserves special recognition for going above and beyond - providing geological inspiration and
enthusiasm. The advice, assistance and encouragement of Paul Agnew and Debora Araujo of Rio Tinto,
Melbourne is also gratefully acknowledged. Remaining in Australia, the kindness and hospitality of Dave
Cooke, Bruce Gemmell and Noel White made trips to the University of Tasmania particularly enjoyable.

Closer to home, the significant analytical component of this project was achieved only with the help and
guidance of many individuals at the Natural History Museum (NHM), London, especially: Anton Kearsley,
Teresa Jeffries, Tony Wighton, Enrica Bonato, Clara Wilkinson, Jens Najorka, John Spratt and Stanislav
Strekopytov. The majority of LA-ICP-MS analytical work was only made possible by the kindness of the late
Teresa Jeffries, who will forever be remembered. The wonderful support, encouragement and knowledge
of Adrian Boyce, Allison McDonald, Terry Donnelly and Ian Millar, combined with the outstanding
hospitality of Margaret Donnelly, led to the isotope component of this project being the most rewarding.

Last, but certainly not least, fellow ore deposit researchers and friends here at the NHM provided further
invaluable support and encouragement, helping to keep each other sane! Many thanks to you all: Robin
Armstrong, William Brownscombe, Eloise Harman, Lisa Hart, Richard Herrington, Simon Kocher, Matthew
Loader, Jacob Longridge, Chris Mavris, Rachel Norman, Carmen Pinto-Ward, Mike Rumsey, Reimar
Seltmann, Robert Sievwright, Edward Spencer and Helena Toman. By sharing my passion for minerals,
Simon, Mike and Chris always provided fun and inspirational conversations.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 R ESEARCH MOTIVATION - WHY?


Porphyry ore deposits, effectively fossilised magmatic-hydrothermal systems, are critical to the modern
world and its technology-based economy. They supply some 60-75% and 20% of global demand for Cu
and Au respectively, as well as being the almost exclusive source for Mo and Re (Richards, 2003; Sillitoe,
2010; Johnson et al., 2014). In addition, they may contain economically significant quantities of several
other metals (notably: Ag, Pd, Te, Se, Bi, Zn, Pb) and are genetically associated with many skarn and high-
to intermediate-sulphidation epithermal deposits (Sillitoe, 2010).

In 2013, globally identified porphyry Cu resources stood at 1,800 Mt, with an estimated 3,100 Mt still to be
discovered (Johnson et al., 2014). However, actual discovery of new porphyry resources is clearly becoming
much more difficult: in the last decade, the annual quantity of newly discovered, porphyry-hosted Cu has
declined, despite an unprecedented increase in exploration expenditure (Schodde, 2012). This is simply
because the majority of exposed deposits are either already exhausted or currently in production, driving
exploration under thicker cover (Schodde, 2014).

Use of a thorough, scientifically-underpinned model of porphyry deposits, capable of explaining empirical


observations, is therefore crucial in order to tip the odds in favour of the explorationist. Although many
advances have been made in this regard over the last 50 years, and porphyry deposits are relatively well
understood, there remains a fundamental lack of knowledge on the propylitic zone - a distal hydrothermal
alteration facies characterised by the development of chlorite, epidote, albite and calcite. This appears to
be because, naturally, the majority of mining operations and thereby geological studies have focused on
the mineralisation/ore itself and its immediately encompassing alteration domains. In contrast, the
propylitic domain is often regarded as the weakest alteration facies; it is developed most distal to the
orebody and is frequently considered as difficult to distinguish from greenschist facies metamorphic
assemblages. However, it is these latter points which highlight the significance of this alteration zone, and
the need to provide a more detailed understanding of its characteristics and genesis. Such knowledge may
provide us with the ability to detect potentially fertile deposits in what are currently classed as barren
metamorphic terrains, and vector towards orebodies from greater distance and/or when deposits are blind
to the surface. It is also an essential step in finalising an overall genetic model for the porphyry deposit clan.

Consequently, this thesis is devoted to thoroughly understanding the mineralogy, textures, field
relationships and geochemistry of propylitic alteration, along with investigating the source of the
alteration fluid itself. Although based on detailed study of the Northparkes porphyry Cu-Au field site, it is
hoped this work will provide a foundation for the future utility, interpretation and research of the propylitic
domain.

1.2 A N OVERVIEW OF PORPHYRY ORE DEPOSITS
Porphyry-style orebodies are low-grade, high-tonnage, bulk-minable deposits; hypogene ore sulphides are
present both within quartz stockwork veins and as disseminations in strongly altered rock around these
veins (e.g. John, 2010; Cooke et al., 2014b). The deposits form within large magmatic-hydrothermal systems
that are genetically related to upper-crustal porphyritic intrusive centres (mostly 1-6 km depth; Seedorff et
al., 2005; Berger et al., 2008). Such porphyry intrusions are often complex and multi-phase, taking the form
of sub-vertical stocks, pipes and sheeted dykes, with the majority rooted into larger, compositionally-
zoned and deeper-seated plutonic bodies (Fig. 1.1; mostly >6 km depth; Seedorff et al., 2005; Berger et al.,
2008; Sillitoe, 2010). These igneous suites are of calc-alkaline to alkaline affinity and are predominantly
intermediate to felsic in composition, with hornblende and/or biotite as the dominant hydrous phase (e.g.
Sillitoe, 1972; Cooke et al., 1998; Sillitoe, 1998; Richards, 2003; Cooke et al., 2005; Sillitoe and Perelló, 2005;
Sinclair, 2007; Sillitoe, 2010). Generally, the high-K calc-alkaline and alkalic suites are associated with more
Au-rich deposits (Cooke et al., 2005).

Fig. 1.1 – Schematic relationships between porphyry Cu intrusions, an underlying composite pluton and overlying
comagmatic volcanic rocks. The typical extent of both Cu orebodies and the lithocap are indicated; note the latter is a zone
of stratabound residual silica and advanced argillic alteration, often with many internal sub-divisions (Fig. 1.2). Dotted
lines in the parental pluton indicate progressive stages of inward crystallisation from which the early- to late-
mineralisation porphyry intrusions and associated mineralising fluids are extracted. As often observed, the coeval volcanic
sequence (if it exists) has been partly eroded prior to ore formation. Modified from Sillitoe (2010).

Although rare, porphyry deposits are consistently developed in both oceanic and continental magmatic
arcs constructed above convergent plate margins (e.g. Sillitoe, 1972; Richards, 2003; Seedorff et al., 2005;
Sinclair, 2007; Sillitoe, 2010), and may be favoured by compressional tectonic stress regimes that typically
correspond to periods of cessation in arc volcanism. This is thought to prevent excessive volatile loss from
the intrusive system, retaining water, metals and sulphur for later ore deposition (e.g. Cooke et al., 2005).
However, the plutonic complex is often linked to pre‐mineralisation, and occasionally post‐mineralisation,

2
extrusive volcanic activity (Fig. 1.1; e.g. Sillitoe, 1972, 2010). It has been suggested by several authors that
injection of a mafic melt into a cooling, deep magma reservoir is also critical to ore formation, with the
potential for this to provide a rich source of volatiles, metals and sulphur (e.g. Carten et al., 1993; Dietrich
et al., 2000; Maughan et al., 2001; Glazner et al., 2004). This process may further rejuvenate convection in
an otherwise stagnant crystallising system, and could trigger volcanic eruptions in vented systems (e.g.
Sparks et al., 1977; Sparks and Marshall, 1986).

Although recent work by Loucks (2014) suggested fertile and barren magmatic provinces can be
discriminated from one another based on the Sr/Y and V/Sc content of igneous rocks, there are no other
strikingly obvious major or trace element signatures associated with porphyry fertility (Ayuso and John,
2010). Indeed, in most respects, the magmas parental to porphyry systems appear to be fairly typical, albeit
notably hydrous, products of arc magmatism (e.g. Cline and Bodnar, 1991; Sillitoe, 1998; Cooke et al., 2005;
Lee et al., 2012).

Porphyry deposits and their associated hydrothermal alteration zones (Fig. 1.2) encompass 10’s‐100’s km3
of rock, attesting to significant quantities of circulating, metal‐rich, aqueous solutions. Diagnostic of this
deposit style is a distinct concentric zonation in alteration mineral assemblages (e.g. Lowell and Guilbert,
1970; Gustafson and Hunt, 1975; Beane and Titley, 1981; Seedorff et al., 2005; Sillitoe, 2010; Cooke et al.,
2014b). The alteration system is developed around and within the apices of porphyritic intrusions (Fig. 1.2).
These intrusions typically host mineralisation and comprise a zone of intense potassic alteration, marked
by crystallisation of potassium feldspar, biotite and magnetite. This extends outwards, beyond the ore
zone, where there is a gradual transition to propylitic alteration, characterised by formation of chlorite,
epidote, albite and calcite.

Numerous, field-based, mineralogical, fluid inclusion and isotopic studies have demonstrated that potassic
and propylitic alteration form synchronously, and that ore formation and potassic alteration are driven by
a high-temperature (400 to >700oC) magmatic fluid (e.g. Sheppard et al., 1971; Sheppard and Gustafson,
1976; Ulrich et al., 2002; Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Lickfold et al., 2003; Bodnar et al., 2014; Spencer et al.,
2015). However, given the typically small volume of magma represented by the porphyry stocks, pipes and
dykes, compared to the size of surrounding alteration systems, it is now clear that these intrusions are
unlikely to be the sole source of the magmatic‐hydrothermal fluids. Rather, porphyries are best interpreted
as the escape structures through which magmatic aqueous fluids are released, subsequent to their
exsolution during crystallisation/evolution of underlying plutonic bodies. Some estimates suggest that
100’s‐1,000’s km3 of magma may be required to liberate enough fluid to form truly giant porphyry deposits
(Shinohara and Hedenquist, 1997; Cloos, 2001).

Fig. 1.2 – Schematic anatomy of a complete porphyry system showing the spatial arrangement of alteration zones (colour
coded, bold names) in relation to porphyry intrusions and the ore shell. This is a generalisation and real world relationships
may be much more complex and structurally controlled. Other deposit types that may occur in this environment are
indicated but again only very rarely might they all be observed together. Note the system shown is telescoped, i.e. advanced
argillic and other, originally shallow-level, relatively low temperature alteration facies, have migrated deeper through time
(during system cooling and paleosurface degradation), progressively overprinting original potassic alteration at the top of
the porphyry intrusions. Adapted from Sillitoe (2010).

4
The presence of unidirectional solidification textures (e.g. comb quartz layers) in the roof zones of porphyry
intrusions suggests that, at least in some deposits, magmatic fluid does not escape in a single large event
(e.g. Shannon et al., 1982; Lowenstern and Sinclair, 1996; Sinclair, 2007). Instead it may be released
periodically from local build‐ups at the top of the magmatic system, which are supplied by continuous
exsolution from depth (e.g. Shinohara et al., 1995). In most instances fluid escape will occur when fluid
pressure exceeds the lithostatic confining pressure, or tensile strength of the host rock, generating
hydrofracturing/ stockwork veins; eventually these will reseal and the process may take place many times
during the life cycle of a single ore forming event (e.g. Shannon et al., 1982; Kirkham and Sinclair, 1988;
Sinclair, 2007).

There is still uncertainty surrounding the behaviour and residence of copper and sulphur during magmatic
evolution, and how it becomes highly concentrated in the exsolved aqueous phase. The review of
Wilkinson (2013) suggested that sulphide saturation occurs routinely during piecemeal growth of plutonic
bodies, producing zones of metal/sulphide enrichment. Subsequent mafic reinjection and released
volatiles are then postulated to cannibalise these pre-existing sulphides, remobilising metals and sulphur
into aqueous solution. In contrast, Sun et al. (2015) have reiterated the more traditional view, in which
fertile magmas must remain sufficiently oxidised (i.e. log O2 > FMQ + 2, where FMQ is the fayalite–
magnetite–quartz oxygen buffer) throughout evolution in order to prevent sulphide saturation. In such
sulphide-undersaturated conditions, sulphur is present as the much more soluble sulphate (SO42-) species.
Consequently, Cu, Au and Mo behave as incompatible elements throughout magmatic evolution until they
are efficiently scavenged by strong preferential partitioning into the exsolved aqueous phase (e.g. Candela
and Holland, 1986). Nevertheless, Matjuschkin et al. (2016) have shown that even those relatively oxidised
magmas should undergo sulphide saturation as a result of pressure conditions in the lower crust, again
questioning the historical view that magma oxidation state is paramount.

In most cases, the magmatic fluid is thought to be released as a single phase, although in the majority of
deposits there is abundant evidence that hypersaline (up to ~70% NaCl equivalent), metal-rich brines
coexist with low salinity, low density vapour in the centre of the magmatic-hydrothermal system (e.g.
Roedder, 1971 and compilations by Eastoe, 1978; Roedder, 1984 and Bodnar et al. 2014). These fluids are
thought to originate by unmixing of an initially homogenous, low‐moderate salinity magmatic fluid of
intermediate density which intersects its solvus upon cooling and sudden pressure release (Henley and
McNabb, 1978; Shinohara, 1994; Burnham, 1997; Redmond et al., 2004). However, under suitable pressure
and temperature conditions, it is also possible that both fluids are directly exsolved from the magma, or
that simply the brine is directly exsolved and subsequently releases a vapour component.

Although the hypersaline brine is traditionally proposed as the principal ore forming fluid, and is
responsible for the zone of potassic alteration, it has now become apparent that the vapour phase may
also play a significant role, and even preferentially transport some metals (e.g. Williams-Jones and Heinrich,

5
2005). Sulphides are precipitated either during phase separation and/or upon cooling of these magmatic
fluids and their interaction with the wall rock (e.g. Seward and Barnes, 1997; Redmond et al., 2004;
Landtwing et al., 2005; Rusk et al., 2008). The vapour is thought to rise through the overlying rock column,
to eventually cool and condense into near surface groundwater. This leads to the dissociation of contained
acidic species, principally H2SO4 and HCl, producing a highly acidic fluid which is thought responsible for
the intense leaching and advanced argillic (clay) alteration of many overlying host rocks (e.g. Meyer and
Hemley, 1967; Giggenbach, 1992; Rye, 1993; Hedenquist and Taran, 2013). The resulting zone of
stratabound residual silica and advanced argillic alteration constitutes what is termed the lithocap (Figs.
1.1, 1.2; Sillitoe, 1995; Holliday and Cooke, 2007). However, in the majority of deposits the lithocap is
removed by erosion and is therefore unobserved (Seedorff et al., 2005).

As the system cools and the remaining magma crystallises, the later magmatic fluid to reach the porphyry
environment may be of sufficiently low temperature that it does not intersect its solvus, yielding a
moderate salinity, moderate temperature (250‐350oC) solution. Many studies suggest this permeates
through pre‐existing structures to generate sericitic alteration (characterised by the development of white
mica and pyrite) which may also overprint the potassic zone (Fig. 1.2; e.g. Shinohara and Hedenquist, 1997;
Hedenquist et al., 1998; Harris and Golding, 2002; Skewes et al., 2003; Rusk et al., 2004; Reed et al., 2013). In
some instances, late sericitic alteration may also be partly driven by meteoric water on the periphery of
systems (e.g. Hedenquist et al., 1998; Harris et al., 2005).

Following the recommendation of Sillitoe (2010) the term ‘phyllic’ alteration, which may refer to the
development of any phyllosilicate minerals (e.g. sericite/mica, chlorite, clay) is not used in this study.
Rather, to avoid any confusion over alteration mineralogy, the principal alteration minerals are described
and used to characterise these alteration domains (e.g. chlorite-sericite or sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration).

Deep‐seated sodic‐calcic alteration (Fig. 1.2) is not particularly common in porphyry deposits, but where
documented it is characterised by minerals such as albite, actinolite, titanite and epidote, although garnet,
pyroxene and anorthite may be developed at temperatures exceeding ~450oC (e.g. Dilles, 2010; Sillitoe,
2010). One suggestion, based on data from the Yerington district of Nevada, is that it results from inflowing,
heated formation brines (Carten, 1986; Dilles and Einaudi, 1992; Dilles et al., 1992). However, it has been
proposed that in many cases it is produced by high temperature, hypersaline magmatic fluids (e.g. John,
1989; Lang et al., 1995; Pollard, 2001; Mark et al., 2004; Sillitoe, 2010). There are even examples where calcic
alteration directly accompanies potassic alteration, effectively defining a calc-potassic facies, pulses of
which may directly correspond to intrusive events (e.g. Sillitoe et al., 2013).

6
1.3 P ROPYLITIC ALTERATION
The term propylitic alteration has its origins in the word ‘propylite’. This name was applied in 1865 by
Ferdinand von Richthofen to those greenish porphyritic rocks with chlorite and epidote, rich in mineral
veins, that surround the Comstock Lode of Nevada. The name is taken from the Classical Greek ‘propylon’,
meaning ‘gateway’, as von Richthofen believed these rocks were at the stratigraphic base (i.e. gate) of the
Tertiary stratigraphy (Becker, 1882; Hamilton, 1965).

Becker (1882) subsequently realised that, rather than a distinct lithology, such ‘propylites’ were simply
hydrothermally altered andesites and diorites, directly associated with mineral veins and thereby ‘mineral
waters’. Consequently, the original noun was converted into the adjective ‘propylitic’, at that time referring
to the secondary development of chlorite, epidote and calcite. Although initially this was limited by some
workers to describing only altered andesitic rocks (e.g. Coats, 1940; Calkins, 1944) the term was soon
broadened to refer to a hydrothermal alteration assemblage of epidote, chlorite, albite and calcite, often
with pyrite, in any original lithology (e.g. Wilshire, 1957; Thompson and White, 1964; Meyer and Hemley,
1967).

In their classic review of hydrothermal alteration, Meyer and Hemley (1967) noted that usage at the time
of the term ‘propylitic’ could reflect anything from weak hydrogen metasomatism, through to intense
magnesium and alkali metasomatism. However, they recommended the term be restricted to describe only
those rocks subjected to weak metasomatism, with sub-types of chloritisation and albitisation proposed
for more intense examples. ‘Chloritisation’ was used to refer to dominant chlorite accompanied by quartz
and sericite with lesser epidote, albite and calcite; ‘albitisation’ to dominant albite with common epidote.
The term ‘epidotisation’ is also used by some for epidote-rich assemblages. However, there is frequently a
gradual transition between chloritisation/chlorite-sericite and propylitic alteration sensu Meyer and
Hemley (1967), recognised even in the early works of Lindgren (1902) and Spurr (1905). Further, although
zones dominated by albite-epidote may occur within the propylitic facies, an assemblage of just albite-
epidote may equally reflect what is now considered sodic-calcic alteration. In fact, these two facies may
sometimes only be distinguished by the reaction of K-feldspar: in the sodic-calcic domain it is albitised,
whereas in the propylitic domain it is retained or replaced by epidote (Seedorff et al., 2005). Thus, such
classifications must be given context and are naturally somewhat arbitrary and difficult to apply. Perhaps
as a result, any assemblage containing epidote, chlorite and albite continues to be simply referred to as
propylitic. Little attention is paid to the abundance of various constituents, the overall intensity of the
alteration, or the extent of metasomatism, the latter of which requires chemical analysis.

Propylitic alteration developed in porphyry deposits has also been generalised simply as the ‘Green Rock’
domain, and frequently a distinct zonation is recognised across the facies relative to deposit centres. The
innermost, deposit-proximal subzone often contains actinolite, pyrite and epidote; with progression
upwards and outwards first the abundance of actinolite, then of pyrite decreases, and they may disappear

7
from the assemblage. This leads to an intermediate-distance subzone containing much epidote and
chlorite. With yet further distance from deposit centres, the abundance of epidote also decreases,
eventually giving rise to an outermost and weakest chlorite-dominated subzone (Holliday and Cooke,
2007; Cooke et al., 2014a).

Despite such modern, broad usage of the term, subsequent reviews (e.g. Beane and Titley, 1981; Beane and
Bodnar, 1995; Seedorff et al., 2005; Dilles, 2010; Sillitoe, 2010) have stuck with the description of Meyer and
Hemley (1967), consistently describing propylitic alteration as a reflection of only weak metasomatism,
limited to addition of H+ and CO2. Literature definition of the term is therefore out-of-step with its real world
application. Consequently, the potential for alteration, described simply as propylitic, to reflect significant
metasomatism is mostly overlooked, even for intense examples. Yet, a blanket description of all propylitic
alteration as isochemical is clearly in direct contradiction to the long standing observations that the facies
routinely coincides with base metal anomalies, and may often contain trace sulphides including
chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena (e.g. Jerome, 1966; Cox et al., 1975; Jones, 1992; Ulrich and Heinrich,
2002; Sillitoe, 2010; Reed et al., 2013). It therefore seems necessary to re-define the term ‘propylitic
alteration’ to describe all alteration assemblages that include chlorite, epidote, albite and calcite, in which
chlorite, epidote and albite are variously dominant; frequently actinolite, hematite, pyrite and phengite are
also present, and may be accompanied by minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, K-feldspar, anhydrite,
titanite, rutile and apatite.

In porphyry systems, the majority of propylitic alteration is thought to be developed outboard from, but
broadly synchronously with, potassic alteration and mineralisation (Fig. 1.2). Such a close link with igneous
rocks and obvious spatial zonation relative to orebodies led early studies to assume that it was produced
by spent mineralising fluids (e.g. Becker, 1882; Gustafson and Hunt, 1975). This is in good agreement with
recent work which demonstrated that ore-related, ‘pathfinder’ elements (such as Mn, Zn, Pb, As, Sb) not
only reside within epidote and/or chlorite, but that their concentrations in these minerals also vary
systematically around deposits, defining hypogene dispersion patterns (Cooke et al., 2014a; Wilkinson et
al., 2015).

Fluid tracing studies within the propylitic domain are, however, few in number. They were also focused
almost exclusively on North American porphyry deposits, in particular Bingham and Southwest Tintic
(Utah), together with the Ann-Mason/Yerington district (Nevada). Furthermore, even the most thorough
investigations (e.g. Bowman et al., 1987; Norman et al., 1991; Dilles et al., 1992; Zaluski et al., 1994; Kendrick
et al., 2001) were based on a very limited number of samples, often did not directly study key propylitic
minerals and/or produced inconclusive results. Nevertheless, nearly all these studies proposed
convectively circulating meteoric waters as the principal driver of propylitic alteration, even when data
could also be explained by input from magmatic-derived ore fluids. This bias toward meteoric waters
appears to have been strongly influenced by early O- and H-isotope investigations of sericitic alteration

8
(e.g. Sheppard et al., 1971; Taylor, 1974; Sheppard and Gustafson, 1976) which suggested a dominance of
meteoric water in porphyry hydrothermal systems. With hindsight, it is now known these workers over
emphasised the significance of meteoric fluids (e.g. Hedenquist and Richards, 1998; Sillitoe, 2010), and later
works have subsequently demonstrated that sericitic alteration can also be, and is perhaps more often,
driven entirely by magmatic-hydrothermal fluids (e.g. Hedenquist et al., 1998; Watanabe and Hedenquist,
2001; Harris and Golding, 2002; Skewes et al., 2003; Rusk et al., 2004; Seedorff and Einaudi, 2004; Harris et
al., 2005; Reed et al., 2013).

Regardless, for propylitic alteration, its position on the periphery of porphyry deposits and the often
quoted isochemical nature of the facies, combined with a lack of study, means the belief it is driven by
meteoric fluids has never been challenged. Even though this inference was based on inconclusive results,
and evidence already existed to support involvement of magmatic waters, over time it appears to have
become ingrained as part of the ‘porphyry paradigm’.

1.4 A IMS
Propylitic alteration is rarely described in detail and is poorly studied. Consequently, our present
understanding of propylitic alteration is surprisingly poor. Continued global demand for Cu, Mo and Au
has forced exploration toward deeper, buried porphyry targets and thrown this lack of understanding into
sharp focus. As the most widespread alteration facies developed in porphyry systems, the propylitic facies
presents the largest footprint within which to explore and may be the only surface indication of a
concealed deposit. Furthermore, it may contain both whole rock and mineral chemistry trends that could
help vector toward deposits.

Overall, this thesis aims to address our present lack of understanding by providing a detailed investigation
of propylitic alteration based on study of the Northparkes porphyry Cu-Au deposits of New South Wales,
Australia. In many ways, the Northparkes deposits represent an ideal study site for porphyry-style ore
systems: their small scale, combined with a lack of significant overprinting alteration and extensive
diamond drill core database, allow a detailed analysis of the 3D geometry and relationships between
different lithologies, veins types and alteration facies. Additionally, the site is host to spectacular
lithological, ore and alteration textures which deserve adequate documentation.

9
1.5 OBJECTIVES
The principal objectives of this study are to:

1) Present a detailed description of the Northparkes porphyry deposits based on extensive fieldwork
and review of both new information and published literature. The objectives here are twofold –
first, to comprehensively characterise the system as a whole, e.g. regional setting, principal
lithologies, alteration facies, vein types etc.; and second, to thoroughly document the propylitic
facies in this context, particularly its spatial distribution, cross-cutting relationships, textures and
related veins.

2) Quantitatively evaluate the bulk geochemical changes which typify the principal alteration
domains at Northparkes. Specifically, this is to assess the extent and type of metasomatism
associated with propylitic alteration of various intensity, in several host lithologies, and how such
changes compare to those of the other alteration facies.

3) Exhaustively define the major and trace element mineral chemistry of both epidote and chlorite
from the propylitic facies at Northparkes. Then, in turn, demonstrate the spatial variations in
mineral chemistry which may potentially be used to indicate the fertility of hydrothermal systems
and/or distance to mineralised centres. Further, to compare the chemistry of epidote and chlorite
from propylitic samples with metamorphic samples collected from regional outcrops – can they be
chemically distinguished? These objectives also allow the distribution of elements throughout the
propylitic halo to be defined and interpreted in terms of physicochemical controls.

4) Design and execute a systematic O-, H- and Sr-isotope study to determine both the temperature
gradients around porphyry magmatic centres and trace the source(s) of the fluid(s) involved in
propylitic alteration.

These above points form the basis of the subsequent chapters. Other outcomes of this work such as
evaluation of chlorite geothermometry and radiogenic age dating of alteration, using zircon and epidote,
are included where relevant.

2. GEOLOGY AND ALTERATION OF THE NORTHPARKES PORPHYRY
CU-AU ORE DEPOSITS

2.1 I NTRODUCTION
The Northparkes Mines exploit a cluster of Late Ordovician-Early Silurian, silica-saturated, alkalic porphyry
Cu-Au ore deposits, located 27 km northwest of Parkes, a small town in central-west New South Wales,
Australia (Fig. 2.1). The region consists largely of flat agricultural land, with extensive cover of Mesozoic to
Quaternary sediments and deep weathering profiles. All the Northparkes orebodies are blind at the surface
and, consequently, the first discovery was not made until 1976, when exploratory drilling encountered
what is now the Endeavour (E) 22 deposit (Jones, 1985). Subsequent exploration defined the E27, E26, E48
and most recently GRP314 ore bodies, the latter named after the discovery drillhole.

Mineralisation is focused within and around a series of multiphase quartz monzonite porphyry intrusions
which terminate below the surface and show a remarkable pipe-like geometry, typically only ~50-100 m in

Fig. 2.3

diameter but extending to depths of >1 km (Fig. 2.2). Cu
sulphides are disseminated throughout K-feldspar and quartz
vein stockworks in areas of potassic alteration which surround
the margins and apices of the mineralising porphyry bodies.
The resulting ore zones are vertically continuous, elliptical
prisms several hundreds of metres in diameter; these were
accessed historically by open pits at E22, E26 and E27, and
presently via block caving at E26 and E48. The total ore reserve
at Northparkes is currently 106 Mt at 0.61% Cu and 0.26 g/t Au,
with a total measured, indicated and inferred resource of 497
Mt at 0.56% Cu and 0.18 g/t Au.

Initial summaries of mineralisation in the Northparkes district


were provided by Jones (1985) and Heithersay et al. (1990),
with later contributions dedicated to descriptions of deposit-
specific geology at E26 (House, 1994; Heithersay and Walshe,
1995; Harris, 1997), E27 (Squires, 1992) and E48 (Wolfe, 1994;
Hooper et al., 1996). This culminated in the work of Lickfold et
Fig. 2.2 – Red quartz monzonite porphyry
al. (2002, 2003, 2007) who investigated the geochemistry and
emplaced into dark trachyandesite volcanics;

E26, E27 and E48). Subsequently, the geology of GRP314 was outlined by Hendrawan (2011a) and Johnson
(2011); Hendrawan (2011b) also re-examined geology and alteration at the E48 deposit. Additional, more
targeted research, has focused on the origin of sericitic alteration at E26 and E48 (Wolfe, 1996; Harris and
Golding, 2002), base metal veins near the E28 prospect (Kolkert, 1998), copper isotope zonation around
E26 and E48 (Li et al., 2010), and the vein emplacement mechanisms at E26 (Harris and Holcombe, 2014).

Such studies have resulted in the definition of numerous intrusive phases, alteration facies and vein types in
the ore zones, whereas comparatively little attention has been paid to the more distal portions of the systems.
This is particularly true for the propylitic alteration footprint which has not previously been investigated in
detail yet is by far the most widespread, coving an area some 20x greater than the potassic alteration domain
and dominating in the mine lease. Further, in the decades following the majority of work on the Endeavour
deposits, several hundred kilometres of diamond drilling has been completed, both improving the 3D
understanding of the systems and resulting in the discovery of new intrusive phases and mineralised centres.

The aims of this chapter are to: (i) document and summarise the regional geology, principal lithologies,
vein types and alteration facies by synthesis of new information and existing studies in order to
characterise the Northparkes system as a whole; and (ii) present the results of detailed logging and
observations in the peripheral propylitic altered domains surrounding the E26 and E48 deposits in order
to provide a first detailed characterisation of this classic propylitic halo.

12
2.2 R EGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Northparkes deposits occur within the Junee-Narromine volcanic belt, one of four such belts within
the eastern Lachlan Orogen of New South Wales (Fig. 2.1). Together, these constitute the Early Ordovician
to earliest Silurian Macquarie Volcanic Belt, comprising largely high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic volcanic-
volcaniclastic sequences, with some intercalated Middle to Late Ordovician carbonates (e.g. Crawford et
al., 2007; Glen et al., 2012; Quinn et al., 2014). It is generally accepted these volcanic belts represent the
accreted suprasubduction zone remains of an intra-oceanic arc, the Macquarie Arc, developed outboard
of Gondwana (Glen et al., 2007; Glen et al., 2012). In addition to explaining the geochemical affinity of the
volcanic rocks (e.g. Glen et al., 1998; Crawford et al., 2007), this plate tectonic setting is consistent with the
occurrence of numerous porphyry deposits and prospects in the region, including the world-class Cadia
Au system (Cooke et al., 2007). It has been suggested that the intersection of the Lachlan Transverse Zone
with the Macquarie Arc may have been an important factor in localising the occurrence of porphyry
deposits (Glen and Walshe, 1999).

In contrast, Quinn et al. (2014) proposed a localised extensional back-arc setting for the Macquarie Volcanic
Belt, with magmatism resulting from rifting of a continental margin sequence accompanied by lower
crustal delamination. This was based on mapping in the Kiandra Volcanic Belt which suggested that the
volcanic rocks and surrounding turbidites were coeval rather than faulted together during accretion.
However, such a model is without a complete modern analogue and is at odds with the igneous
geochemistry. Porphyry Cu-Au systems are also typically restricted to suprasubduction zone environments
(e.g. Sillitoe, 1972; Kirkham and Sinclair, 1995; Drew, 2005; Sillitoe, 2010), although crustal delamination has
been suggested as possibly important to their formation (Bin et al., 2003).

In the Parkes region, the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt is composed of three principal stratigraphic
packages (Krynen et al., 1990). These units and structural features of the area are described below with
reference to the geological map (Fig. 2.3).

2.2.1 The Nelungaloo Volcanics and Yarrimbah Formation


The Lower Ordovician Nelungaloo Volcanics are the oldest exposed rocks of the Junee-Narromine Volcanic
Belt, outcropping in the core of the Forbes Anticline. They consist largely of high-K calc-alkaline andesites to
basaltic andesites and volcaniclastic rocks (Glen et al., 2007), with a combined estimated thickness of 1.5 km
(Simpson et al., 2005). The minimum age of this package is constrained by intrusions of broadly comagmatic,
equigranular to weakly plagioclase-augite-phyric monzodiorite bodies, one of which provided a zircon U-Pb
(SHRIMP) age of 481 ± 4 Ma (Butera et al., 2001; recalculated by I. Williams in Simpson et al., 2005).

The Yarrimbah Formation directly overlies the Nelungaloo Volcanics (Sherwin, 1979, 2000) and is described
by Glen et al. (2007) as a 400-600 m thick, broadly fining upwards sequence of volcaniclastic sandstones,
siltstones and bedded mudstones. Graptolites from these rocks indicate deposition between the
Lancefieldian (La3, ~479 Ma) and Bendigonian (Be1, ~476 Ma) (Sherwin, 1979).

14
2.2.2 The Goonumbla Volcanics – Billabong Creek Limestone and Gunningbland Formation
The Middle to Late Ordovician Goonumbla Volcanics are separated from the underlying Nelungaloo
Volcanics by an inferred low angle unconformity, representing a depositional hiatus of ~10 Ma (Krynen et
al., 1990; Percival and Glen, 2007). Trachyandesites are the dominant constituent along with intervening
basaltic andesites, volcaniclastic conglomerates and rare limestones, giving a total thickness of 2.5-4 km.
However, many of the massive trachyandesites have peperitic upper and lower contacts (this study;
Kolkert, 1998; Simpson et al., 2005), and Simpson et al. (2005) also recognised the same textures in the
overlying Wombin Volcanics, leading them to suggest that the majority of the trachyandesite units are in
fact sills. A second generation of equigranular to weakly porphyritic monzodiorite bodies intrude the base
of the Goonumbla Volcanics near Goonumbla, with a zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP) age of 450.8 ± 4.2 Ma (Butera
et al., 2001), providing a minimum age constraint on the volcanic sequence. However, as this monzodiorite
does not appear to directly intrude the trachyandesite sills (Simpson et al., 2005), these could still be
younger.

Around Gunningbland, the shallow marine Billabong Creek Limestones and overlying deeper water
Gunningbland Formation occur intercalated with, and as lateral equivalents of, the Goonumbla Volcanics
(Percival and Glen, 2007). These units have a maximum thickness of ~1.1 km, and were dated by Pickett
and Percival (2001), using a near continuous fossil record; results indicated deposition between the
Darriwilian (Da2, ~465 Ma) and Eastonian (Ea3/4, ~452 Ma).

2.2.3 The Wombin Volcanics


The >3 km thick Wombin Volcanics directly overlie the Goonumbla Volcanics, although it remains unclear
if there was a hiatus between their deposition; together these sequences comprise the Northparkes Group
(Percival and Glen, 2007). Krynen et al. (1990) defined the Wombin Volcanics based on their more evolved
chemistry and reddish-brown colouration. They are dominated by volcanic breccias and sandstones along
with trachytes, ignimbrites and a series of trachyandesite sills, similar to those identified in the Goonumbla
Volcanics (Simpson et al., 2005).

The age of the Wombin Volcanics is poorly constrained as Late Ordovician to earliest Silurian; they must
post-date the latest Eastonian age (~450 Ma; Webby et al., 2004) Goonumbla Volcanics, and minimum
constraints are imposed by several monzonite intrusions emplaced throughout the area. An equigranular
monzonite body near Cooks Myalls returned a consistent zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP) date of 439 ± 5 Ma based
on two samples (Butera et al., 2001), and Lickfold et al. (2007) reported a further zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP) date
of 444.2 ± 4.7 Ma for the biotite quartz monzonite (BQM) that intrudes the Wombin sequence at
Northparkes.

15
2.2.4 Structural geology and regional metamorphism
Rocks within the Lachlan Fold Belt have experienced a protracted deformation history during continental
accretion, with at least six individual orogenic events defined (Gray et al., 1997). The Northparkes area lies
both near to the geographic extent of the supposed Lower Devonian Bowning Orogeny (~409-396 Ma;
Crook et al., 1973), and well within that of the Carboniferous Kanimblan Orogeny (~360-340 Ma; Powell et
al., 1976). However, based on a compilation of 40Ar/39Ar slate whole rock and white mica crystallisation ages,
Gray and Foster (2004) suggested most deformation in the Parkes region occurred between 410-380 Ma.

In the Parkes district, strain is strongly partitioned into thrust faults and less competent units. For example,
highly deformed and foliated deep marine sediments occur east of the Parkes Thrust (Fig. 2.3) in contrast
to only gently folded and non-foliated volcanics to the west. Ductile strain in the volcanics is limited to the
NNE-striking, gently plunging and open-hinged Forbes Anticline and Milpose Syncline. These folds are cut
by a conjugate set of ESE-striking sinistral and SSE-striking dextral faults, exemplified by the Dalveen Fault
Zone. Regional mapping (e.g. Heithersay et al., 1990; Krynen et al., 1990; Arundell, 1997; Simpson et al.,
2005) has shown that rocks of the largely Lower Devonian Trundle Group (Sherwin, 1996), that
unconformably overlies the Wombin Volcanics, are unaffected by the Dalveen Fault, although clearly
related faults offset the Parkes Thrust (Fig. 2.3). This constrains deformation to the Middle Silurian to Lower
Devonian, at the oldest end of the estimate provided by Gray and Foster (2004).

Regional metamorphism in the volcanic rocks of the Parkes area appears to be limited to prehnite-
pumpellyite facies, with the widespread development of chlorite, calcite, prehnite, pumpellyite and quartz.
Minor epidote, albite and zeolites are also observed. There is no evidence to suggest a metamorphic
overprint at Northparkes, with all alteration assemblages appearing primary.

2.3 THE NORTHPARKES DEPOSITS


The Northparkes deposits are a cluster of five Cu-Au ore zones hosted within the Wombin and Goonumbla
Volcanics: Endeavour (E)22, 26, 27, 48 and GRP314, all of which occur in an area of only ~10 km2 (Figs. 2.4,
2.5, 2.6).

17
2.3.1 General features
Mineralisation comprises disseminated Cu sulphides and fracture coatings within quartz vein stockworks
and zones of potassic alteration, both of which are spatially and temporally associated with multiphase
quartz monzonite porphyry (QMP) complexes. Bornite is the dominant sulphide in the centre of these
magmatic-hydrothermal systems, transitioning outwards into a chalcopyrite-rich shell and pyrite-
dominant periphery. The highest Au grades are in the core of the systems, where Au is present largely as
fine, native inclusions in both silicates and bornite, and occurs with minor tellurides (Müller et al., 1994;
Lickfold, 2002; Butcher et al., 2011). Oxidation persists up to ~80 m below surface in the region;
consequently, the highest level deposits, E22, E26 and E27, exhibit thin, but well-developed upper oxide
ore zones (Crane et al., 1998; McLean et al., 2004). These comprise an uppermost zone of Cu phosphates,
notably including sampleite at E26, passing down through a layer of Cu carbonates to a small supergene
enrichment horizon with native Cu, cuprite and chalcocite (Clissold et al., 2005).

The QMP bodies form part of a series of silica-saturated alkaline intrusions that dominate in the mine area
and range in composition from monzodiorite through to alkali feldspar granite. The most voluminous
phase is a pre-mineralisation biotite quartz monzonite (BQM) pluton that underlies and partly hosts
mineralisation. QMP complexes at E22, E26, E27 and E48 are emplaced on the shoulders, and GRP314
within the centre, of apophyses of the BQM pluton (Figs. 2.4, 2.5, 2.6).

The host lithologies at E22, E27 and E48 are dominated by trachyandesites, present largely as sills and
occasional lava flows, interbedded with volcanic conglomerates, massive to poorly bedded volcanic
sandstones and occasional laminated siltstones and mudstones (this study; Jones, 1985; Wolfe, 1994;
Simpson et al., 2005; Figs. 2.4, 2.5). Volcanic host rocks at E26 mainly comprise massive trachytic breccias
and ignimbrites along with trachytes and volcanic sandstones (this study; Heithersay et al., 1990). In
contrast, GRP314 is hosted entirely within intrusive rocks, comprising QMP bodies contained within a larger
weakly-mineralised quartz monzonite phase, which is itself enclosed by the BQM pluton (Fig. 2.4).

2.3.2 Structural features
A distinctive feature of most of the mineralised porphyry intrusions is their elongate, pipe-like geometry
(‘pencil porphyries’), being typically ~50-100 m in diameter and >1 km in vertical extent (e.g. Figs. 2.5, 2.6).
However, some porphyry intrusions occur as dykes: at GRP314 there appear to be tabular dykes with a NE-
SW trend. Of similar orientation are a series of thin, post mineralisation, alkali basalt dykes which strike NE
throughout Northparkes. In contrast, a particular post-mineralisation monzonite porphyry phase, known
as the Zero porphyry, occurs exclusively as SE-striking dykes, which cut through the centre of E26 and are
further recorded near E34 (this study; Fig. 2.4). Using orientated core measurements, Harris (1997)
demonstrated that stockwork veins in all the Endeavour deposits also show a preferred SE-SSE strike (~140-
170°). Harris and Holcombe (2014) further investigated the complex nature of vein orientations at the E26
deposit, once again revealing a preferred SSE(-NNW) trend. The occurrence of such NE- and SE-striking
features effectively defines a conjugate fault geometry, and indicates a regionally imposed stress regime
was present throughout emplacement of the QMP complexes. Consequently, the pipe-like morphology of
the mineralising bodies perhaps reflects emplacement along the intersection of these broadly NE- and SE-
striking fracture sets (Harris, 1997; Crawford, 2001; Harris and Holcombe, 2014). Alternatively, the
morphology could simply be a result of the particularly buoyant, volatile nature of the magma.

The Wombin and, at depth, Goonumbla Volcanics at Northparkes are slightly tilted, with a broad SE dip of
units between E48 and E26. However, this is most likely a result of emplacement of the BQM pluton directly
below, combined with any original dip. Porphyry bodies remain subvertical and post-mineralisation
deformation is remarkably limited; this too may partly be owing to the underlying plutonic monzonite,
effectively forming a strain-resistant crustal block (Scheibner, 1993).

The most significant structural feature, the Altona Fault (Figs. 2.3, 2.5, 2.6), is post-mineralisation and has
no surface outcrop, but is known from extensive drilling to be a large, shallowly (~15°) east-dipping planar
structure. This fault significantly impacts exploration. The E28 prospect is the very tip of another porphyry
Cu-Au deposit located entirely within the hanging wall (Jones, 1985; Kolkert, 1998), while the top of E48
and an upper section of the GRP314 system are truncated by it. Accordingly, GRP314 was only discovered
in 2004 during underground and subsequent surface drilling to explore below the structure (Lye, 2006).
Although the sense of displacement has been debated, internal investigations based on drill core
structures suggest the Altona Fault is a top-to-the-west thrust, with an offset of several hundreds of metres
(Dalstra and Oosterwijk, 2005).

2.4 P RINCIPAL LITHOLOGIES
Key lithological units at Northparkes are summarised below, and their typical occurrence is illustrated in
Figure 2.7. Descriptions are based mainly on drill core logging at E26 and E48, but supplemented where
necessary by other sources to ensure a comprehensive review. An illustrative guide to the key lithologies
is also given as Appendix A.

lithologies at Northparkes; based off a NE-trending cross section through E26.

2.4.1 Country rock volcanics

Trachyandesites
Basaltic trachyandesites to trachyandesites form a significant proportion of the Goonumbla Volcanics, and
are also found within the Wombin Volcanics. They are dark brown to black and ubiquitously porphyritic,
comprising 20-50% of 1-4 mm plagioclase laths and minor pyroxene in a very fine to aphanitic groundmass
(Fig. 2.8a). Rarely, units contain amygdales and show hyaloclastic surfaces; peperitic contacts with
volcaniclastic rocks are more common. Where present, these features clearly indicate that a majority of the
thick (10’s – 100’s m) units are sills emplaced into the volcano-sedimentary pile. However, there is also
evidence that thin (<1 – 10’s m) units within the Goonumbla are true extrusive flows (this study; Kolkert,
1998; Simpson et al., 2005). The distinction between intrusive and extrusive units is frequently ambiguous
in altered drill core sections.

23
Peperites and hyaloclastites
Magma - wet sediment interaction is recorded by peperitic textures (Fig. 2.8b) and hyaloclastic breccias
(Fig. 2.8d); these mostly occur on the contacts of trachyandesite units, and are present throughout the
Goonumbla and Wombin Volcanics. Peperites occur as intimate, irregular mixtures of sediment and
trachyandesite, usually consisting patches of volcanic rock split apart by small diffuse wisps and globules
of sediment or, more rarely, neptunian dykes (Fig. 2.8c). Such lithologies attest to the water-saturated and
poorly-consolidated nature of the volcanic stratigraphy during this phase of magmatism.

Volcanic conglomerates
Differentiation between true conglomerates and the numerous breccia facies is often difficult and the term
conglomerate is here reserved for those units composed dominantly of rounded clasts (e.g. Fig. 2.8e).
Massive packages of polymict, matrix-supported conglomerates, fining upwards into volcanic sandstones,
are present in the Goonumbla Volcanics; these comprise clasts of trachyandesite, sandstones and siltstones
in a dark silt and mud matrix. Trachyte clasts are also present in matrix-supported conglomerates within
the Wombin Volcanics, and monomict conglomerates with sandstone clasts were observed around E48.

Volcanic sandstones, siltstones and mudstones


Most volcanic sandstones comprise massive, fine to medium grained and moderately- to very well-sorted
units, composed of lithic fragments and rarer abraded crystals set in a fine silt to mud matrix (Fig. 2.8f). Internal
bedding and lamination is relatively rare. Dark siltstones and mudstones are uncommon. Where observed,
they usually display fine laminations on the centimetre to millimetre scale and frequently exhibit wet
sediment deformation structures including load casts, flame structures and minor slump folds (Fig. 2.8g).

Trachytes
Thin (<1-10’s m) units of pink- to brick-red-coloured trachytes occur within the Wombin Volcanics. These
are typically aphanitic or finely porphyritic, with sparse, 1-3 mm euhedral plagioclase and occasional K-
feldspar, pyroxene, biotite and hornblende phenocrysts in an aphanitic K-feldspar-quartz groundmass (Fig.
2.8h). Their intrusive or extrusive nature is difficult to determine. However, some fine breccias at contacts
could represent hyaloclastites or autobrecciated surfaces, and the occurrence of trachyte fragments within
conglomerates and sedimentary breccias demonstrates that at least some were actively eroded.

Trachytic volcanic breccia (ignimbrite)


The term trachytic volcanic breccia at Northparkes refers to welded, lithic-crystal ignimbrites, with a typical
chocolate-brown or black colouration (mostly depending on alteration). They contain angular to sub-
angular clasts of trachyte, trachyandesite and volcaniclastic rocks along with 10-30% euhedral and broken
plagioclase, K-feldspar and pyroxene crystals. These are set within a welded, irregularly banded aphanitic
matrix with wispy patches of crystal-poor material, interpreted by Simpson et al. (2005) as pumice
fragments (Fig. 2.8i). This lithology exclusively occurs in the Wombin Volcanics and is widespread to the
west of E26, where continuous drill core intersections exceed 250 m.

2.4.2 Northparkes magmatic rocks

Monzodiorite
Pre-mineralisation monzodiorite bodies outcrop in the Northparkes area; monzodiorite is also
encountered at depth near the E26 deposit (Lickfold et al., 2003) and occasionally as xenoliths within the
BQM pluton (Fig. 2.9a). The lithology is typically coarse grained (2-3 mm) and equigranular, consisting of
10-30% mafic minerals, usually augite and biotite with lesser magnetite and hornblende, intergrown with
60-70% plagioclase and minor alkali feldspar (~10%).

Biotite quartz monzonite (BQM)


The BQM exhibits a continuously variable texture from coarse and equigranular, through to medium
grained and semi-porphyritic. The equigranular end-member comprises interlocking, 2-4 mm euhedral
plagioclase and K-feldspar crystals with 10-20% subhedral biotite; quartz is present as an anhedral
interstitial phase (~5%) with further K-feldspar (Fig. 2.9b). In the porphyritic end-member, euhedral 3-5 mm
plagioclase phenocrysts dominate (40-60%), along with subhedral biotite (~10%) within a finer grained
(but still visibly crystalline) interstitial mass of interlocking K-feldspar and quartz (Fig. 2.9c-d).

A large intrusion of BQM underlies the entire Northparkes area, and bodies within the hanging wall of the
Altona Fault subcrop between E26 and E31 (the E31 stock) and NE of E27 (the Tails Dam stock). The extent
of the plutonic system beneath the Northparkes deposits is revealed by the ~12 km diameter negative
Bouguer gravity anomaly (Fig. 2.3). The upper surface of this pluton is highly undulate; contacts between
the BQM and host volcanics are also irregular on the metre scale, with frequent rounded xenoliths (1 cm to
2-3 m diameter) and injections of small dykes and sills.

Minor specks of chalcopyrite and bornite are present within the BQM, and patches of chalcopyrite occur in
rare pegmatitic segregations. Consequently, Lickfold et al. (2003) classified it as early-mineralisation, but it
is probably better regarded as pre-mineralisation.

Alkali feldspar granite (AFG)


The AFG (Fig. 2.9e) occurs as another distinct and voluminous lithology within the BQM-dominated pluton.
It appears to be a later differentiate of the BQM: contacts between the two are either gradual over tens of
metres, or distinct but irregular, with plagioclase phenocrysts observed to pass over the contact (Fig. 2.9f).
The AFG is coarse and relatively equigranular, typically consisting of 10-30% euhedral, 2-4 mm plagioclase
crystals (often amalgamated together) surrounded by only slightly finer, interlocking K-feldspar and quartz.
Quartz may also be present as 1-2 mm anhedral grains, the varying abundance of which shifts the
composition between an alkali feldspar syenite and alkali feldspar granite. Biotite is restricted to only 1-5%.
The AFG is therefore a more felsic and evolved phase than the BQM, containing less plagioclase and biotite,
and more K-feldspar and quartz. The two phases effectively form a composite/zoned intrusion.

25

poikilitically enclosing plagioclase in strongly porphyritic QMZ, BZD10/~600 m.

Quartz monzonite (QMZ)


A large, NE-SW-trending QMZ body occurs at GRP314, and this lithology is also known at depth around E26
and E48. In all instances, the QMZ is entirely enclosed by the BQM-AFG pluton. Contacts with the pluton
may be sharp or gradational over tens of metres; frequently sub-rounded BQM xenoliths are observed
within the QMZ. Texture varies between truly porphyritic (Fig. 2.9g), with a fine-aphanitic groundmass,
through to semi-porphyritic with a visibly crystalline groundmass (Fig. 2.9h). Phenocrysts typically range
from 0.5 mm to 3 mm and comprise 5-10% anhedral quartz, 30-70% characteristically subhedral to
anhedral plagioclase and 10-40% euhedral to subhedral K-feldspar with minor biotite (1-5%). In rare
instances, K-feldspar forms larger phenocrysts (1-3 cm; Fig. 2.9i) that may overgrow anhedral plagioclase.

26
Hendrawan (2011a) documented a gradual transition in the QMZ at GRP314. Semi-porphyritic and crystal-
crowded QMZ at depth passes up into a relatively sparsely porphyritic variety directly below the Altona Fault,
with increased K-feldspar and less plagioclase and biotite. The latter variety contains quartz-K-feldspar-
bornite-chalcopyrite miarolites (Fig. 2.9h) and quartz-aplite unidirectional solidification textures (UST’s); small
blebs of anhydrite are also present throughout. Such textures attest to the presence of a magmatic volatile
phase that remained trapped within the melt; no stockwork veining is known to be associated with the QMZ.

The QMZ therefore appears to represent a transitional early-mineralisation intrusion emplaced into the
upper part of the BQM-AFG pluton which was nearly completely solidified at the time. The QMZ is sharply
truncated by lower volume syn- and post-mineralisation QMP bodies at both E26 and GRP314.

Quartz monzonite porphyries (QMP)


All major ore bodies at Northparkes are spatially associated with small-volume QMP intrusions which occur
as pipe-like to occasionally more elongate, dyke-like bodies (Figs. 2.5, 2.6, 2.10a-g). These intrusions are
exceptionally complex. Multiple magmatic pulses are recognisable, each of which are variably altered and
may exhibit rapid spatial variability in their size and shape, groundmass granularity and phenocryst
abundance. The latter varies between 40-90% with both plagioclase and K-feldspar phenocrysts common
to all the QMP phases.

K-feldspar phenocrysts are typically large (1-2 cm), euhedral and often zoned (Fig. 2.10f-g), but are also
observed as angular broken fragments (Fig. 2.10b-d). Plagioclase phenocrysts are usually smaller (<1 cm),
subhedral crystals that may be overgrown by K-feldspar (Fig. 2.10e-f). The groundmass varies from
aphanitic to finely crystalline and is largely composed of quartz and K-feldspar. Biotite, augite and
hornblende are present as mafic phenocrysts in some phases and accessory apatite, sphene and zircon
have been recorded in all the Endeavour porphyries (Lickfold, 2002).

At E22, E26, E27 and E48, Lickfold et al. (2003) were able to petrographically distinguish three sub-types of
QMP based largely on the relative abundance and mineralogy of mafic and K-feldspar phenocrysts: 1)
biotite QMP - minor bodies with 5-10% mafic phenocrysts, largely of biotite (Fig. 2.10e-f); 2) K-feldspar QMP
- with few (<2%) mafic phenocrysts (Fig. 2.10a-b); and 3) augite K-Feldspar QMP - with limited (2-5%) mafic
phenocrysts, largely of augite and biotite (Fig. 2.10c-d). Using cross-cutting relationships (following the
criteria of Sillitoe, 2000) it was further shown that each sub-type may form several distinct bodies that occur
multiple times in the magmatic-hydrothermal history of each deposit. Generally, however, the K-feldspar
QMP bodies are most closely associated with mineralisation.

This QMP classification scheme has yet to be tested at GRP314 and the various other porphyry prospects.
Further, field based recognition of the sub-types can be difficult and correlating between limited drill core
intersections of multiple thin and discontinuous bodies is challenging. As such, QMP intrusions are
grouped by Northparkes Mines on the basis of their relative timing and spatial association with
mineralisation, in an approach similar to Heithersay and Walshe (1995). This approach differentiates early-

27
to syn-mineralisation QMP intrusions, which contain and host disseminated sulphides and vein stockworks,
and the late-mineralisation bodies which dilute grade. This classification is applied for simplicity and clarity
in Figures 2.5-2.7.

Monzonite porphyries
A distinct, crystal-crowded, post-mineralisation monzonite porphyry (Fig. 2.10h) occurs as SE-striking dykes
which cut through the E26 deposit. This phase is frequently referred to as the ‘Zero’ porphyry, due to its
low Cu-Au concentrations (<10 ppm Cu, <1 ppm Au) which result in grade dilution where it is emplaced
into mineralised zones. Only weak propylitic alteration and hematite reddening affect the Zero porphyry.
It is typically brownish red, with phenocrysts comprising 5-15% mafic minerals (augite, biotite and
magnetite), 60-70% plagioclase and 10-20% K-feldspar within an aphanitic K-feldspar groundmass;
Lickfold (2002) also reported the occurrence of primary anhydrite phenocrysts. As with the QMP intrusions,
plagioclase phenocrysts are smaller than K-feldspar phenocrysts, which may be zoned and either euhedral
or fragmental.

An unusual feature of the Zero porphyry dyke(s) at E26 and E34 is the frequent occurrence of a
geochemically and texturally distinct, dark brown, plagioclase-phyric basaltic trachyandesite (the ‘Mafic
Zero’), often along the dyke margins and/or as highly irregular shaped xenoliths (Fig. 2.10i; Lickfold et al.,
2003; this study). This appears to represent commingling of two magmatic phases, with the Zero porphyry
emplaced into the same structure as the earlier, Mafic Zero, before it had totally solidified (Keith et al., 1998;
Lickfold et al., 2007).

A further monzonite porphyry body occurs near the E34 prospect and is thought to be post-mineralisation.
It is not associated with elevated Cu grades and cuts across chlorite-quartz-epidote-albite (P1) veins (see
section 2.6.4) in intensely propylitically-altered rocks; xenoliths of these veins, pervasively epidote-altered
country rock, sericitic (quartz-sericite-pyrite) veins and BQM are also observed. The intrusion comprises
~40% phenocrysts, dominantly <2 mm subhedral plagioclase feldspar with lesser biotite and often larger
(1 mm – 1 cm) euhedral K-feldspar, set in an aphanitic K-feldspar groundmass (Fig. 2.10j). Breccias
associated with emplacement occur at the margins (see section 2.4.3).

Basaltic dykes
Numerous, thin (30 cm to 1.5 m), broadly NE-striking dykes of alkali basalt are documented at E22 and E27
(Jones, 1985; Lickfold et al., 2003), E48 (Wolfe, 1994; Hooper et al., 1996), E34 (this study) and GRP314
(Hendrawan, 2011a); in all cases they are post-mineralisation. Although dominantly sub-vertical, these
dykes are also emplaced along the Altona Fault (Hooper et al., 1996), and many are unaltered or contain
only calcite amygdales. Consequently, at least some significantly postdate porphyry-related magmatic
activity, and may even be of Tertiary age (Duggan et al., 1999). In contrast, further examples of alkali basalt
dykes, pervasively overprinted by strong sericitic alteration, have been considered to represent the waning
stages of Late Ordovician to early Silurian magmatic-hydrothermal activity (Lickfold et al., 2003).

2.4.3 Breccias and magmatic-hydrothermal features

Porphyry-hydrothermal phenomena
K-feldspar-rich, syn-mineralisation QMP bodies in all the deposits may contain highly irregular
segregations of quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide ± anhydrite ± fluorite intergrown with aplite (Fig. 2.11a-b). In
some instances, these patches may appear layered and exhibit unidirectional comb quartz growth (Fig.
2.11c). Similar, irregular segregations of quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite are also observed, notably at E26.

Vein dykes (<1-5 cm wide) occur throughout the mineralisation history. These irregular fractures contain a
mix of igneous and hydrothermal cement and are spatially associated with QMP bodies. First described at
E26, they consist of either quartz veins with a central aplitic fill, or a predominantly aplitic fill with coarse
segregations and central intergrowths of hydrothermal quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide (Heithersay and
Walshe, 1995).

Intrusive breccias
Porphyry-cemented breccias are relatively common in all the QMP complexes at Northparkes; however,
two examples are particularly notable. At E27, the margins of syn- to late-mineralisation QMP bodies are
characterised by large zones of jigsaw-fit intrusion breccias in which angular clasts of mineralised host rock
are cemented by plagioclase-phyric (<4 mm), fine (<1 mm) aplite porphyry. This aplitic cement routinely
penetrates into <1 mm wide fractures and is frequently intergrown with coarse segregations (examples
several cm long) of hydrothermal quartz-K-feldspar-bornite (Fig. 2.11d). Hence, the cement of this breccia
is comparable with the vein dykes, appearing to represent very low viscosity, fluid-saturated magma.

Early open-pit operations at E27 also recovered large blocks (up to several metres long) of matrix-
supported hydrothermal breccias with a cement of grey ‘greasy’ quartz and massive bornite (Fig. 2.11e).
Euhedral K-feldspar crystals reaching 6 mm in length are contained within the bornite (Fig. 2.11f) and clasts
are strongly potassically-altered. The similarity of this breccia to hydrothermal segregations within the
aplitic cement of the underlying E27 intrusion breccia suggests the two are cogenetic, representing the
transition from deeper magmatic-hydrothermal, to purely hydrothermal conditions. A similar genetic
relationship between vein dykes and quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide-cemented breccias at E26 has been
proposed (Heithersay and Walshe, 1995).

At E34, a post-mineralisation monzonite porphyry (Fig. 2.10j; section 2.4.2) exhibits brecciated contacts.
With increasing distance from the intrusion these grade from a porphyry-cemented breccia (Fig. 2.11g)
into an extensive zone of brecciated country rock fragments, with occasional, irregular patches of
porphyry, surrounded by intensely chloritised rock flour (Fig. 2.11h). These rock flour breccias are very
similar in texture to the pebble dykes observed elsewhere (Fig. 2.11i). It is possible, therefore, that the
sequence logged at E34 records the generation of pebble dykes at the point of explosive interaction
between late porphyry intrusions and water-saturated country rocks, as documented in other porphyry
districts (e.g. Tintic, Utah; Farmin, 1934).

30
Pebble dykes
Pebble dykes, usually 1 cm to 1 m wide, are post-mineralisation, polymict hydrothermal breccia dykes that
occur across all the known deposits (e.g. Jones, 1985; Heithersay et al., 1990; Lickfold, 2002; this study).
Clasts do not necessarily reflect immediately adjacent wall rocks and comprise sub-angular to well-
rounded fragments of all volcanic and intrusive lithologies, except for basaltic dykes, in a fine, dark rock
flour matrix with a hydrothermal quartz-carbonate-pyrite cement (Fig. 2.11j). Clasts may be mineralised
and/or pervasively potassically, sericitically or propylitically-altered and veined, with textures clearly
truncated at clast margins.

Pegmatites
Pegmatitic dykes (<4 m), intersected at the base of GRP314, contain large (several cm long) interlocking
crystals of K-feldspar and anhydrite, with accessory bornite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, biotite, muscovite and
actinolite (Hendrawan, 2011a).

Bornite clots
Irregular ~2-40 cm diameter ‘clots’ of massive bornite, with accessory chalcopyrite, K-feldspar and quartz
occur in the QMP and QMZ intrusions, particularly at E22, E27 and GRP314 (Fig. 2.11k). These unusual
features are rare in porphyry-style deposits. Sulphur isotope compositions (δ34S ≈ -4 ‰) are comparable
with average stockwork vein sulphides (Lickfold, 2002), and minimum Pd/Ir ratios (≈102-105) are also typical
of magmatic-hydrothermal sulphides, as opposed to those that formed from immiscible sulphide melts
(van Dongen et al., 2009). Consequently, they appear to be hydrothermal phenomena, either partially
resorbed xenoliths of massive mineralisation, or formed in situ from trapped aqueous solutions. The
exclusive occurrence of clots within fluid/volatile-rich QMP/QMZ intrusions, and sometimes the apparent
intergrowth of the two, argues for the latter. Observation of veins of pure bornite emanating from large
clots at E27 (Fig. 8e of Lickfold et al., 2003) further support this interpretation.

2.5 L ITHOGEOCHEMISTRY
Whole rock geochemical analyses were conducted by ALS Minerals Ltd Brisbane on 204 samples collected
from logged diamond drill core. Major elements and 31 trace elements (including the REE) were analysed,
following lithium metaborate fusion, by ICP-AES and ICP-MS respectively. The abundance of C and S was
determined by combustion and infrared detection in a LECO C/S analyser. Base metal concentrations
(including Ag, Cd, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn and Sc) were determined by ICP-AES after four acid digestion, and
precious metal (Au, Pt and Pd) concentrations were determined by fire assay ICP-MS. Volatile elements (As,
Bi, Hg, Sb, Se and Te) were determined by ICP-MS after aqua regia digestion. The analytical limit of
detection and calculated 1σ precision for each element is provided in Table 3.1 of Chapter 3. Mean
compositional data for replicate analyses of laboratory standards matched preferred reference values
within ± 1σ, suggesting results are accurate.

Data for a further 28 samples obtained using the same analytical procedures were provided by Rio Tinto
Ltd and are here combined with the analyses of Johnson (2011), Lickfold (2002), Crawford et al. (2001),
Morrison and Blevin (1997), Radclyffe (1995), Müller et al. (1994), Wolfe (1994), Hall (1993), Heithersay (1991)
and Clarke (1990). The resulting dataset on 540 samples is tabulated in Appendices C, D and E.

In this study, alteration type and intensity (based on observations of the percentage abundance of
alteration minerals) was recorded for each sample; the most strongly altered samples were excluded from
the evaluation of the principal lithologies in order to best represent original whole rock geochemistry.
Further detail is provided in Appendix C. Similarly, data from Johnson (2011) were screened to remove
most altered samples based on the descriptions provided and/or anomalism in three or more elements.
Nonetheless, most samples are altered to some unavoidable extent so that results, particularly for mobile
elements must be treated with caution. Furthermore, a majority of the Northparkes igneous rocks contain
phenocrysts, typically of plagioclase with variable biotite and K-feldspar, so that whole rock analyses may
not be fully representative of the parental magma.

2.5.1 Country rock volcanics
Total Na2O + K2O vs. SiO2 (TAS; Fig. 2.12a) and K2O vs. SiO2 plots (Fig. 2.12b) demonstrate the exclusive high-
K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic nature of the Goonumbla and Wombin Volcanics, which both comprise
basaltic trachyandesites to trachytes. These packages also follow near identical fractionation trends. In
contrast, the Nelungaloo Volcanics comprise basalts to andesites and trachyandesites with distinctly lower
K2O, Na2O and Al2O3 and higher overall Fe2O3, CaO, TiO2 and V concentrations; these define subtly different
fractionation trends.

Intrusions within each volcanic package follow the same fractionation trends and REE profiles as the host
volcanics, suggesting they were broadly comagmatic. REE profiles for all the volcanic packages (Fig. 2.13)
lack Eu anomalies, suggesting limited plagioclase removal, and only the Wombin Volcanics begin to show
a trough-shaped depletion in the middle REE indicative of minor fractionation of hornblende from the
magma prior to eruption or emplacement.

Nearly all fractionation trends are smooth and demonstrate compatible behaviour of Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn, Ti, V
and Sr, likely driven by the continual fractional crystallisation of pyroxene and magnetite which are
common phases in all the volcanic rocks (Fig. 2.12). Plagioclase phenocrysts are also ubiquitous, but the
lack of Eu anomalies and mostly incompatible behaviour of Na suggests it was not significantly
fractionated, and must have crystallised late in the sequence. Notably, fractionation trends in Al2O3 are
poorly developed except for the Goonumbla volcanic rocks; these initially show increasing Al2O3 until SiO2
≈ 56%, followed by slight depletion with increasing silica (Fig. 2.12d). The constant decrease in P2O5 with
increasing silica (Fig. 2.12g) indicates accessory apatite crystallisation throughout. Zr and U demonstrate
continual incompatible behaviour in all rocks, except some Wombin intrusions which trend toward lower
Zr concentrations in the most silicic samples (Fig. 2.12n). This feature is more prominent in the Northparkes
magmatic rocks.

The trachyandesites are the most primitive rocks, although, for the majority of elements, they plot broadly
along the same fractionation trends as the Goonumbla and Wombin Volcanics (Fig. 2.12); REE profiles for
the trachyandesites are most similar to the Goonumbla Volcanics (Fig. 2.13). The trachyandesites thus
represent potential parental magmas for the entire magmatic suite present in the district.

2.5.2 Northparkes magmatic rocks


TAS classification (Fig. 2.14a) shows the suite encompasses monzodiorite through to syenite and granite,
with an almost exclusively shoshonitic affinity (Fig. 2.14b). All samples, regardless of the type or intensity
of any hydrothermal alteration developed, follow the expected fractionation trajectory for K and Na, and
there is no systematic spread toward highly elevated K and/or Na concentrations. Thus, the classification
as shoshonitic does not appear to be influenced by any potassically-altered samples.

Generally, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, P2O5, MgO, MnO, TiO2, Eu, V and Sr demonstrate compatible behaviour with
increasing silica, in agreement with continual fractional crystallisation of plagioclase, biotite, magnetite,
apatite and minor pyroxene and hornblende (Fig. 2.14). Some samples, primarily of the BQM, are markedly
enriched in MnO and plot above the well-defined fractionation trend illustrated by the majority of the data
(Fig. 2.14i). This feature is accounted for by the fact that these samples are propylitically-altered, and are
located within the whole rock Mn-Zn halo that surrounds the E48 deposit. However, these samples are not
obviously anomalous in other elements, hence they are retained in the database.

Evolution of the magmatic system is bimodal, with two distinct fractionation trends apparent in Figure
2.14. Initial emplacement and crystallisation of the BQM-AFG pluton defines the first ‘barren’ fractionation
series, reaching values of SiO2 ≈ 66% and in which all HFSE behave incompatibly (e.g. Fig. 2.14n-q).
Subsequent QMZ intrusions appear to have more primitive compositions, at SiO2 ≈ 58%, defining the start
of a second ‘fertile’ fractionation trend toward the K-feldspar-rich QMP intrusions, which ultimately reach
SiO2 ≈ 74%. By comparison, this second series exhibits lower MnO, P2O5, TiO2 and Eu, along with slightly
higher Sr concentrations for any given silica content. There is also a highly distinctive, progressive

36
depletion in all HFSE with increasing evolution (e.g. Fig. 2.14n-q); a feature not observed in the BQM-AFG
series, in which HFSE behave incompatibly. Some BQM samples do however lie upon this trend for U, Ho
and Yb, and comparable Zr depletion is apparent in Wombin intrusions (Fig. 2.12n).

In terms of the REE, evolution from the BQM-AFG pluton, through the QMZ, to the QMP bodies is
characterised by a systematic lowering in the absolute abundance of all REE (c.f. Fig. 2.15a-e) and an
increasing upward inflection in the HREE (Er, Yb, Lu). This is most pronounced in the most REE-depleted,
ore-associated, K-feldspar-rich QMP samples, which also start to display positive Eu anomalies (Fig. 2.15e).
Perhaps significantly, there is a return to more typical REE levels in the post-mineralisation E34 monzonite
porphyry, and even elimination of the Dy minimum in the Zero porphyries to yield REE patterns very much
like the majority of the volcanic rocks (c.f. Figs. 2.13, 2.15).

Such depletion trends in REE and HFSE could perhaps be a result of zircon fractionation, within which the
concentration of REE is highest in the most felsic, volatile-rich environments (e.g. Belousova et al., 2002).
Modelling by Lickfold (2002) demonstrated that the depletion in REE cannot be reproduced by simple
fractionation of other REE-rich phases (e.g. apatite, titanite) from a BQM-type melt. However, this study
assumed that the parental magma was of BQM composition, when in fact it may have been far more
primitive. The trends could also arise by loss of REE and HFSE during aqueous phase separation (Lickfold et
al., 2007), but it seems unlikely this process would not preferentially fractionate certain elements. It is
known that all the REE, excluding Eu, remained immobile throughout hydrothermal alteration at
Northparkes, and that HFSE were also not significantly mobilised (Chapter 3). Therefore, alternatively, such
uniform reduction in the concentration of immobile elements could simply reflect dilution by mass gain
during alteration. Notably though, bulk addition of other components, besides quartz, must take place, as
the trends do not plot on a trajectory towards zero concentration at 100% SiO2 (Fig. 2.14n-q).

REE profiles for all Northparkes intrusive phases, except the Mafic Zero and basaltic dykes, show
preferential depletion in the middle REE (Fig. 2.15), signifying minor hornblende fractionation from the
parental magma. This feature is also observed in samples of the Wombin Volcanic group, which the
Northparkes intrusions effectively form part of, and attests to relatively more hydrous magmatic conditions
in comparison to the Goonumbla and Nelungaloo Volcanics. BQM samples may exhibit positive or, more
rarely, weak negative Eu anomalies, probably depending on crowding or dispersion of plagioclase
phenocrysts (Fig. 2.15a). The AFG always displays a negative Eu anomaly consistent with plagioclase
fractionation (Fig. 2.15b).

The Mafic Zero monzonite porphyry reflects a return to more mafic compositions, with SiO2 ≈ 48%. Its
composition contrasts markedly with the more evolved Zero and E34 monzonite porphyries (Figs. 2.14,
2.15e). The latter two both plot upon the same fractionation series as the QMZ and QMP bodies, suggesting
they are related. The last stage of magmatic activity, represented by the basaltic dykes, is the most primitive
and samples display the flattest REE profiles, with no evidence of crystal fractionation (Fig. 2.15f).

2.6 A LTERATION AND VEINING


Eight diamond drillholes, totalling ~8 km, were selected to provide broadly lateral traverses away from the
central ore zone into distal propylitic alteration at the E26 and E48 deposits (Figs. 2.4 to 2.6). Detailed
logging of the lithology and alteration mineralogy through these holes (Figs. 2.16, 2.17 and Appendix B)
defined three principal alteration facies that occur as largely concentric zones around each deposit/QMP
complex. These comprise: 1) innermost K-feldspar alteration; 2) a shell of magnetite ± biotite alteration;
and 3) outermost propylitic alteration (Figs. 2.5, 2.6).

There is no significant overprinting of the distal alteration assemblages onto the centre of the systems.
However, sericitic alteration may patchily overprint such zones and also occurs in association with
particular vein types. Hematitic reddening of the rock is a further weak alteration type developed
throughout. In all cases, the extent, intensity and appearance of each alteration facies is controlled by the
reactivity, permeability and vein density in the host lithology. Argillic alteration is not observed at
Northparkes, but a small outcrop of advanced argillic alteration is located nearby at the Nash’s Hill prospect
(Fig. 2.3) and potentially represents the remains of a previous lithocap.

The characteristics and broad paragenesis of each alteration facies, together with the veins that occur
within them, are summarised together; veins that traverse alteration zones are discussed separately. The
spatial relationships between veins and alteration zones are illustrated in Figure 2.18.

base of E48D134 is part of the sericite-
albite-quartz-alunite ± chlorite
overprint to the core of E48. Note

spatially associated with faults.

41
2.6.1 Hematite reddening
Hematitic reddening is a result of <1 μm hematite inclusions developed within micro to nanoscale
pores/cavities in both K-feldspar and plagioclase (Putnis et al., 2007; this study). Three distinct types of this
‘hematite dusting’ are recognised based on associated alteration minerals, relationship to veins and spatial
extent.

The earliest and most widespread hematite reddening phase exclusively affects intrusive rocks and K-
feldspar-rich volcanic units, imparting a brick-red hue (Fig. 2.9c,e,h,i); only patches of BQM and pre-
mineralisation monzodiorite are unaffected (Fig. 2.9a,b). It is typically weak, but exceptionally pervasive
and is accompanied by weak, selective sericitisation of plagioclase and chloritisation of mafic minerals.
With increasing intensity, plagioclase is further sericitised and reddened, giving a brown appearance (Fig.
2.9d,f). This reddening shows no clear relationship to any specific veins, and intervals of uniform alteration
may be encountered that lack macroscopic veins.

Minor, secondary, but strong and selective, hematite dusting of plagioclase in intrusive rocks is also
observed in the outer portions of sericitic halos developed around faults and base metal veins (Fig. 2.21b).

The most intense hematite reddening is associated with propylitic alteration. This imparts a characteristic
bright, cherry-red colouration to pre-existing K-feldspar around propylitic veins (e.g. Fig. 2.20l). Secondary

Fig. 2.18 – Schematic diagram illustrating the spatial distribution of vein types, as well as their relationship to each other,
major alteration facies and QMP intrusions at Northparkes. The vein density shown approximates the relative changes
observed. Veins and alteration facies are as described in section 2.6. Veins associated with particular alteration facies are
mostly spatially restricted to that zone, and are numbered with respect to their paragenesis within it, e.g. K1 to K3 for
potassic veins. The latest gypsum-anhydrite veins and calcite veins are omitted. Note the barren quartz veins, sericitic veins
and anhydrite-quartz veins are not necessarily present in all the Northparkes deposits.

42
albite formed in the outer halo of such veins is also consistently hematite reddened and occurs in all host
lithologies (Fig. 2.20). Pervasive propylitic alteration of intrusive rocks is further associated with additional
hematite dusting of feldspars, which may produce dark brownish-red plagioclase (Fig. 2.20e).

2.6.2 K-feldspar alteration and associated veins


The centre of each QMP intrusive complex is characterised by potassium silicate-dominated alteration that
encloses the ore zone and comprises K-feldspar-biotite ± bornite ± chalcopyrite ± magnetite. The alteration
exhibits a clear spatial and temporal relationship to K1, K2 and K3 veins described below (Figs. 2.18, 2.19).

K1: Biotite veinlets


Irregular, often discontinuous veinlets of quartz ± magnetite (<1 to 2 mm wide) are surrounded by a
texturally-destructive biotite halo 3-10 mm wide (Fig. 2.19a). This biotite halo is the most distinctive and
consistent component of the veins, and sometimes the central quartz seam may be absent, giving the
appearance of ‘railroad tracks’. These veins are therefore termed biotite veinlets. They represent the earliest
potassic alteration and are consistently cross cut by all other vein types.

K2: K-feldspar-sulphide veinlets


Fine, irregular and discontinuous quartz-K-feldspar-bornite ± chalcopyrite veinlets (<1.5 mm wide) are
surrounded by 1-3 mm wide K-feldspar alteration halos which bleed out into the surrounding rock; these
veinlets form extensive, intricate networks in the cores of the deposits (Fig. 2.19b-e). At least two
generations are implied at E26 and E48, where they both cut, and are cross cut by, K3 veins.

K3: Quartz-sulphide veins


The principal quartz stockwork of the deposits comprises reasonably straight, quartz-bornite ±
chalcopyrite ± anhydrite veins (Figs. 2.10a, 2.19d-h). These are typically 5-20 mm wide but range between
3 mm and 20 cm. Sulphides are sparsely disseminated throughout the vein or, together with K-feldspar,
may form margin-parallel trails indicative of reopening. Vein margins are sharp but locally undulate and
characteristically show pink K-feldspar alteration halos unless these have been obliterated by later sericitic
overprinting (Fig. 2.19g). At least two generations exist at E26 and E48, where these veins are observed to
cross cut one another.

Quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide veins (K2 and K3) are responsible for ore-grade mineralisation and are
intimately related to large-scale, pervasive alteration. Where these veins are developed in felsic host rocks
(trachytes, ignimbrites and BQM-AFG pluton) the K-feldspar alteration halos are the widest (Fig. 2.19b-d,f).
In areas of particularly high vein density, K-feldspar-quartz alteration floods the surrounding rock, and
irregular patches of biotite and disseminated sulphides are developed throughout this zone of flooding
(Fig. 2.19b,i). In relatively mafic host rocks (e.g. trachyandesites and volcaniclastics), K-feldspar alteration
halos are limited to only a few millimetres wide, and the surrounding rock is pervasively biotite-magnetite
altered (Fig. 2.19e,h), again with disseminated sulphides throughout (c.f. Vry et al., 2010).

43
2.6.3 Magnetite ± biotite alteration and associated veins
With increasing distance from centres of mineralisation, the density of K2 and K3 quartz-K-feldspar-
sulphide veins decreases from hundreds of veins per metre to approximately ten or less per metre. This is
accompanied by a strong decrease in K-feldspar and Cu-sulphides, a minor decrease in biotite, and a
simultaneous increase in the abundance of disseminated magnetite, thus defining a magnetite ± biotite
alteration shell around the deposits (Figs. 2.16, 2.17, 2.18). Although K2 and K3 veins may sparsely persist
into this zone, K1 veins do not (Fig. 2.18). The vein types that are characteristic of this zone are magnetite
veinlets (M1) and magnetite(-chalcopyrite-quartz) veins (M2).

M1: Magnetite veinlets


Minor irregular magnetite-only veinlets (<5 mm wide) are found infrequently throughout the magnetite-
biotite alteration shell where it is developed in mafic volcanic rocks (Figs. 2.18, 2.19h). They are considered
to be early, lateral equivalents of K1 biotite veinlets, and are cross cut by K2 and K3 quartz-K-feldspar-
sulphide veins.

M2: Magnetite veins


Veins, 1-5 cm wide, dominated by magnetite with minor chalcopyrite ± quartz occur rarely within the
magnetite ± biotite alteration shell; their timing is uncertain but the mineralogy suggests they are broadly
synchronous with the magnetite-biotite alteration.

The transition from innermost K-feldspar to magnetite ± biotite alteration typically occurs over 100-200 m.
Host lithology strongly controls the occurrence and appearance of the magnetite ± biotite shell. Within
mafic host rocks it is encountered ~200-300 m laterally from the system centre and comprises intense and
pervasive, fine, disseminated magnetite and biotite that impart a dark grey to black colouration which
obscures original textures (Fig. 2.19h,k). Within felsic rocks, magnetite ± biotite alteration may not be
encountered until ~500 m from the system centre, where it forms disseminated clots of magnetite with
minor biotite around original mafic crystal sites. Minor, weak and selective sericitic alteration of plagioclase
and K-feldspar is also observed (Fig. 2.19j).

Further biotite-magnetite is weakly, but pervasively, developed within mafic volcanic rocks adjacent to the
BQM-AFG pluton, effectively forming a contact metamorphic aureole. This assemblage shows no
relationship to veins and may be strongly overprinted by propylitic alteration.

45
2.6.4 Propylitic alteration and associated veins
With continued distance from centres of mineralisation, disseminated specks of epidote and chlorite begin
to occur within high permeability volcanic units in the outer parts of the magnetite-biotite alteration shell.
Within relatively impermeable, intrusive rocks, epidote and chlorite first occur as selective replacement
minerals, developed in and around mafic crystal sites. Eventually, epidote veinlets (P3) are encountered
and followed, with increasing vein density, by larger epidote-chlorite-albite (P2) and chlorite-quartz-
epidote-albite (P1) veins (Fig. 2.18; see vein descriptions below). These are accompanied by further
development of disseminated epidote, chlorite, pyrite and hematite-reddened albite which together
define the propylitic alteration zone. Rare actinolite has also been reported from the innermost part of the
propylitic alteration zone at E27 (J. Hoye, 2015, pers. comm.). Formation of epidote and chlorite resulted in
the destruction of magnetite and biotite, present both as primary igneous phases and within the hornfels
around the BQM-AFG pluton. Similarly, the abundance of magnetite-biotite alteration decreases into the
propylitic alteration halo. The transition between magnetite-biotite and propylitic alteration zones
typically occurs over 100-200 m. In the Northparkes area, propylitic alteration is the most widespread facies,
extending 2-3 km from mineralised centres, but is generally most intense at distances of 1-1.5 km.

Propylitic alteration is most pervasive within mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic lithologies, probably as a
result of their intrinsic elevated permeability and relatively high Fe, Mg and Ca contents (e.g. Fig. 2.20a-d).
Fluid flow was clearly controlled by both fractures and intergranular permeability within the volcano-
sedimentary packages (Fig. 2.20b), with propylitic alteration being strongest in regions of high vein density
and in the most permeable, coarse grained units, following and highlighting original bedding and
laminations (Fig. 2.8e-g). Alteration mineral grain size is generally related to that of the original rock
components that have been replaced, although distinct clots of epidote ± quartz ± chlorite may also be
formed (Fig. 2.20c-d).

In all competent, relatively low permeability igneous rocks, propylitic alteration is distinctly more
heterogeneous, with alteration fluids preferentially focused through fractures. Intense alteration is only
observed within and around large veins (mostly P1) or in zones of high vein density (mostly P2), grading
out into moderate to weak alteration associated with numerous epidote veinlets (mostly P3; Fig. 2.18).
Chlorite ± epidote replacement of original mafic minerals and albite-hematite replacement of plagioclase
are the features noted furthest from veins (Fig. 2.20e,l,u). Between propylitic domains, rocks containing
relict magnetite with just mild hematite reddening may be preserved.

Propylitic alteration is most weakly developed in the AFG, trachytes and trachytic ignimbrites, probably
owing to the abundance of relatively unreactive K-feldspar (Fig. 2.20f). Nonetheless, epidote-dominated
veins (P2 and P3) do occur in these units and plagioclase, biotite or mafic phenocrysts are selectively
propylitically-altered whenever they are present.

46
P1: Chlorite-quartz-epidote-albite veins
Complex veins comprising central infills of chlorite-quartz-pyrite ± calcite ± hematite (dark red) ± epidote
± rare chalcopyrite are characteristically surrounded by pervasive and intense alteration halos with a
distinct mineralogical zonation (Fig. 2.20g-l). The vein-proximal assemblage consists of chlorite and sericite
(phengitic) ± epidote ± pyrite; this grades outwards to hematite-sericite-chlorite ± epidote and, eventually,
to hematite-albite ± chlorite ± epidote. Plagioclase and biotite in the proximal halo are usually selectively
replaced by near pure chlorite, with an intergrowth of phengite-chlorite grains (≤10 μm) replacing all other
minerals, including K-feldspar. Plagioclase in the outermost halo is replaced by albite, which is hematite
reddened along with original K-feldspar; biotite is still chloritised. These mineralogical transformations
imply at least some metasomatic addition of H, Mg and Fe, the latter reaching furthest from the vein.

The veins themselves range from 5 mm to 15 cm wide and are typically sheared, with margin-parallel traces
of hematite and/or pyrite providing evidence of reopening. The original vein fill appears limited to quartz-
chlorite ± pyrite, with the majority of calcite and hematite precipitated later. Corresponding vein halos are
particularly large, with alteration extending 4 cm to >4 m either side of the centre, in proportion to the
width of the vein fill (Fig. 2.20l). These features suggest prolonged flow of fluid in strong disequilibrium
with the wall rock.

P2: Epidote-chlorite-albite veins


The most abundant propylitic veins (Fig. 2.20m-r) are typically straight and contain a central fill, 2-20 mm
wide, of epidote-chlorite ± calcite ± quartz ± pyrite. When present, quartz-calcite-pyrite form an interstitial
cement to epidote crystals, which are interspersed with occasional chlorite and occur along the vein edges,
growing inwards from each margin (Fig. 2.20r). Epidote may also locally pervade a few millimetres into the
wall rock, making the margin appear indistinct. Surrounding these veins is a characteristically zoned
alteration halo with three main sub-divisions (Fig. 2.20m-p). Vein-proximal alteration consists of intense
chlorite and sericite (phengite), often with minor epidote and pyrite, as described for P1 veins. This grades
out into a middle envelope, rich in epidote, that is present either as a distinct vein-parallel layer or series of
patches. Vein-distal alteration is dominated by albite which, along with relict K-feldspar, is markedly
hematite reddened; minor patches of chlorite and epidote alteration also persist. Alteration intensity then
gradually decreases back into weak but pervasive ‘background’ propylitic alteration. The alteration halo of
these veins extends for 3-20 cm either side of the vein centre, again depending on vein width.

P3: Epidote veinlets


Fine (~1 mm wide), erratic and often discontinuous epidote ± chlorite ± pyrite veinlets are found
throughout the propylitic zone, particularly within igneous rocks where they may be the only observable
evidence of fluid migration in areas of moderate-weak propylitic alteration. Epidote typically infiltrates
from the veinlet into the surrounding wall rocks, especially where plagioclase crystals are intersected,
producing a highly irregular, blebby margin (Fig. 2.20s-u). Alteration halos, typically 1-2 cm wide, are
developed around these veinlets, characterised by hematite reddening of any pre-existing feldspar and
selective replacement of plagioclase and biotite by epidote and chlorite respectively.

Vein relationships and timing


Propylitic veins exhibit a consistent spatial relationship to one another. The largest and rarest P1 (chlorite-
quartz-epidote-albite) veins are typically surrounded by zones in which P2 (epidote-chlorite-albite) veins
dominate. The P2 veins have compositional characteristics that are essentially intermediate between P1
and P3 veinlets, and are routinely enclosed by areas rich in P3 epidote veinlets (Fig. 2.18). Thus, the vein
types appear to be related and are interpreted to represent a continuum reflecting the flux of fluid that
passes through a given part of a fracture network. Although all propylitic veins appear broadly
synchronous, it is noted that some P1 and P2 veins may cut P3 veinlets, suggesting the latter form at the
onset of fluid flow until its cessation.

The occurrence and intensity of all observed propylitic alteration is directly controlled by three factors: 1)
distance from mineralised centres; 2) the extent of fluid flow, controlled by host rock permeability,
lithological contacts and the abundance of microfractures through to large fracture/fault zones; 3) host
rock composition/reactivity. There is no observable correlation between the intensity and/or occurrence
of propylitic alteration with the BQM-AFG pluton.

Country rock xenoliths within the BQM and AFG show no signs of previous alteration. In contrast, xenoliths
within QMP units frequently show evidence of prior biotite-magnetite and, in the latest QMP units, K-
feldspar-sulphide alteration-mineralisation in the form of truncated veins. Fragments of P1 and P2 veins
and propylitically-altered rocks are found within both post-mineralisation monzonite porphyries and
pebble dykes (Figs. 2.11g, 2.20k,v). Base metal veins (section 2.6.6) also cut through and reopen P1 veins
(Fig. 2.22c,d), and are themselves included as fragments within the pebble dykes.

49
These observations are consistent with the bulk of propylitic alteration forming during mineralisation as
the distal equivalent to the central potassic zones, driven by the focused release of magmatic fluid through
the QMP intrusions. A close relationship to mineralisation is again indicated by the rare presence of
chalcopyrite, K-feldspar and, at E26, anhydrite within P2 veins (Fig. 2.20q). Nonetheless, some late stage,
relatively weak propylitic alteration, mainly limited to disseminations around P3 veinlets, must have taken
place after mineralisation occurring, as it does, within post-mineralisation monzonite porphyries and
exploiting pebble dykes (Fig. 2.20w).

Regional metamorphism vs. propylitic mineral assemblages


The Northparkes propylitic alteration halo is visually distinct from the surrounding low-grade, regional
metamorphic assemblage. The latter is dominated by chlorite but frequently contains prehnite,
pumpellyite and zeolites; albite may be formed but no feldspars are hematite reddened and no pyrite is
present. In comparison to propylitic alteration, metamorphic epidote is fine grained (usually only 10-30
μm) and uncommon. Also, despite being exceptionally pervasive, development of the metamorphic
assemblage shows no clear link to fractures or veins which are relatively rare. When encountered, veins are
typically only a few millimetres wide, are composed of calcite with lesser epidote and lack distinct alteration
halos, indicating near fluid-rock equilibrium.

2.6.5 Sericitic alteration


Several distinct sericite-dominant alteration facies can be recognised at Northparkes. Perhaps the most
common is locally developed around late- to post-mineralisation faults, often comprising total, but
texturally enhancing, replacement by variously coloured assemblages of sericite-quartz ± pyrite (Fig. 2.21a-
b). However, more distinctive are the pervasive and texturally-destructive regions of characteristically
white sericite-albite-quartz-alunite ± chlorite alteration that overprint the potassic core of E48 (Fig. 2.19g),
and have been encountered at GRP314 (Wolfe, 1994; Hendrawan, 2011a). This alteration is most extensive
at depth within favourable felsic lithologies, particularly the BQM-AFG pluton, and contains tennantite as
a major Cu-bearing phase. Wolfe (1996) demonstrated a magmatic fluid origin for this alteration at E48.
Sericitic alteration is also a defining characteristic of the sericitic veins described in section 2.6.6.

2.6.6 Veins that transect alteration zones

Barren quartz veins


Two generations of sharp, straight-walled, quartz-only veins (5-30 mm wide) occur in a low-density barren
stockwork at 1.2 km depth, ~600 m east of E26 (e.g. Fig. 2.18); vein halos consist only of hematite reddening
of feldspars. The source and significance of these veins is unknown. Timing is also poorly constrained, but
they are probably pre- to early- mineralisation, given that they are both overprinted and reopened by P3
epidote veinlets, and cut by the base metal veins. Wolfe (1994) reported similar veins at depth below E48.

50
Sericitic veins
Within and around E26 and GRP314, sericitic alteration is localised around a distinct set of veins that are
usually straight and often sheeted. Vein centres are typically thin (<1 mm to 20 mm wide) and comprise
quartz and/or anhydrite ± pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± molybdenite ± magnetite. These are enclosed by
proportionally much wider (1 to 150 cm respectively), well-developed and notably zoned alteration halos
(Fig. 2.21c-o).

Vein-proximal alteration always consists of intense, pervasive and texturally-destructive grey quartz-
sericite-pyrite ± molybdenite, and vein intersections may be associated with large domains of such
alteration. These zones are enveloped by an outer fringe of variable mineralogy. At E26, this vein-distal
assemblage progressively changes from a well-developed K-feldspar and biotite assemblage (Fig. 2.21c-e)
near the centre of the deposit, to small biotite spots that die out with distance (between ~150-300 m; Fig.
2.21f-g). With still increasing distance, between ~300-600 m, chlorite is developed instead (Fig. 2.21h-l) and
is accompanied by epidote at >600 m (Fig. 2.21m-o). The width of the sericitic veins and associated
alteration halos also generally decreases to <5 mm and 2-3 cm respectively with progression away from
E26.

At least two generations of sericitic veins exist. These can cut one another and may either cut, or be cut by,
K-feldspar veinlets (K2), quartz-sulphide veins (K3) and epidote veinlets (P3). This implies a temporal
overlap between the sericitic veins and mineralising magmatic-hydrothermal activity. A magmatic origin
for the sericitic alteration halo of these veins around E26 was also established by Harris and Golding (2002).

52
Base metal veins
Quartz-calcite ± anhydrite veins, usually <1-10 cm wide, containing visible pyrite, sphalerite and
chalcopyrite with minor galena, bornite and molybdenite are present within the core and periphery of all
Northparkes deposits, but are most abundant in relatively distal locations (Fig. 2.22a-d). Veins are often
internally zoned from pyrite-quartz-dominant margins to sphalerite-chalcopyrite-dominant centres and
are surrounded by pervasive, texturally-destructive quartz-sericite ± pyrite ± chlorite alteration halos
extending ~0.3-2 m either side. Sphalerite shows a characteristic internal zonation from low-Fe, light
honey-brown cores to black, high-Fe rims (Fig. 2.22b-d).

These veins often reactivate earlier sericitic veins and P1 propylitic veins (Figs. 2.18, 2.22c,d), but are in turn
cut by later gypsum-anhydrite veins (Fig. 2.22a,d). Although clearly late-mineralisation in timing, the exact
origin of the base metal veins remains poorly constrained; however, the occurrence of sphalerite in some
anhydrite-quartz veins (Fig. 2.22o), and a lack of cross cutting relationships between these vein sets,
perhaps suggests they are related.

Anhydrite-quartz veins
Veins, 1-30 cm wide, of dark purple anhydrite, or gypsum, and quartz (occasionally with comb growth
textures) ± pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± magnetite ± sphalerite, are found around and within the central
intrusive complex at E26 and GRP314 (Fig. 2.18). Immediately adjacent to QMP intrusions these may be
surrounded by strong K-feldspar-biotite alteration and contain limited sulphides (Fig. 2.22i,j). Irregular
segregations of purple anhydrite in aplitic, late-mineralisation, K-feldspar-rich QMP intrusions, with
surrounding intense K-feldspar-biotite alteration (Figs. 2.11b, 2.22e-h), are probably related to these veins.

More distally, the anhydrite-quartz veins display quartz-sericite halos and contain chalcopyrite, pyrite,
magnetite and rare sphalerite (Fig. 2.22l-p). The majority of the anhydrite-quartz veins occur adjacent to,
or within, sericitic veins, which they reopen and regularly brecciate (Fig. 2.22k-n).

Gypsum-anhydrite veins
Barren, pale pink to light purple anhydrite veins (± rare pyrite), <1-50 cm wide, and lacking alteration halos
are also developed around E26 and GRP314 (Fig. 2.22p-r). The anhydrite is frequently hydrated to
distinctive, fibrous gypsum (Figs. 2.21k, 2.22r). Such veins are most frequently observed cutting, or more
rarely reopening, sericitic veins (Fig. 2.22q), anhydrite-quartz veins and base metal veins (Fig. 2.22a). P3
epidote veinlets are consistently truncated (Fig. 2.22r).

Calcite veins
Veins of only calcite ± rare quartz consistently occur along planes of weakness and are particularly common
within the centre of the base metal veins (Fig. 2.22b) and anhydrite-quartz veins, recording a final stage of
reopening. The calcite often displays central, crystal-lined vugs, comb textures and may also cement
brecciated fragments of previous vein material. These are the latest vein generation recognised at
Northparkes.

2.7 G EOCHRONOLOGY
Radiometric dating studies at Northparkes have been relatively limited in number (Fig. 2.23). The age of
mineralisation was first estimated as 439.2 ± 1.2 Ma by Ar/Ar dating of sericite at the E26 deposit,
presumably relating to the sericitic veins (Perkins et al., 1990). Subsequently, Lickfold et al. (2003) provided
further, biotite, Ar/Ar age estimates for the BQM (437.3 ± 2.1 Ma), alteration at E26 (441.3 ± 3.8 Ma), and
biotite-rich QMP intrusions at both E26 (448.6 ± 7.0 Ma) and E22 (446.5 ± 2.6 Ma). However, interpretation
of these results is difficult, as the closure temperature for Ar in biotite is ~300oC and is variable both as a
function of Fe-Mg content and cooling rate (e.g. Harrison et al., 1985). Therefore, at best, such dates reflect
the point in time when samples cooled permanently below this threshold, and thus provide minimum age
constraints. Lickfold et al. (2007) reported two further age estimates based on U-Pb (SHRIMP) dating of
zircon from the BQM at E26 (444.2 ± 4.7 Ma), and from the Zero monzonite porphyry near the E37 prospect
(436.7 ± 3.3 Ma). These intrusions, and therefore dates, effectively bracket the period of mineralisation.

As part of this study, several hydrothermal zircons, intergrown with epidote and chlorite, were identified
in propylitic (P3) veinlets. U-Pb (LA-ICP-MS) dating of five such zircon grains yielded an age estimate of
454.3 ± 3.0 Ma for propylitic alteration (Fig. 2.24). Although these samples were collected relatively close
to both the E26 and E48 deposits, they were located most proximal to E48, and did not contain any minor
anhydrite that is often indicative of alteration developed in the E26 system. As such, this date probably
reflects alteration related to the E48 deposit. Similarly, Rb-Sr dating of thirteen epidote separates and ten
whole rock samples, collected from around the E48 deposit, provided an estimate of 450 ± 11 Ma for
associated propylitic alteration (see Chapter 5). Unfortunately, the uncertainty of this Rb-Sr date is relatively
large, and the statistical significance of that date based on only five hydrothermal zircons is limited.

corresponds to the dating method. Also shown is the deposition interval of the Billabong Creek Limestone-Gunningbland
Formation, based on the fossil evidence of Pickett and Percival (2001), after the stratigraphy of Percival and Glen (2007).
The Ordovician-Silurian boundary shown is that of Cohen et al. (2013).

55
The age of the host rocks at Northparkes is poorly
constrained (see section 2.2) and no radiometric
dates are available on the volcanic packages
themselves. Fossil dates for the Billabong Creek
Limestone and Gunningbland Formation suggest
the laterally equivalent Goonumbla Volcanics
continued to be deposited until at least ~452 Ma
(Fig. 2.23; Pickett and Percival, 2001; Percival and
Glen, 2007). The minimum age of the overlying
Wombin Volcanics is limited by dates for the BQM-
AFG pluton at Northparkes, which is the oldest
intrusion to be hosted within both volcanic

scale then, even within error, the date of 454.3 ± MSWD = mean square weighted deviation.

3.0 Ma (Fig. 2.24) for propylitic alteration at the E48 deposit, based on hydrothermal zircons, is geologically
invalid - being older than the Wombin host rocks. Further, the formation of the >3 km thick Wombin
Volcanics is restricted to a relatively narrow interval, post ~452 Ma but prior to emplacement of the BQM
(Fig. 2.23).

It is clear that currently available radiometric age constraints cannot, in isolation, establish the relative
order of magmatic-hydrothermal events at Northparkes. They do, however, strongly suggest that most
activity occurred in the latest Ordovician to earliest Silurian, and demonstrate a close temporal relationship
between such activity and formation of the Wombin Volcanics.

2.8 G EOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF THE N ORTHPARKES SYSTEM


The Goonumbla and Wombin Volcanics document the Middle to Late Ordovician development of the
Macquarie Island Arc. These dominantly submarine volcano-sedimentary packages reflect an overall
transition toward more felsic, evolved magmatism of shoshonitic affinity. However, a bimodality is
demonstrated by the emplacement of large volumes of basaltic trachyandesite sills into the succession, at
least in part whilst it was still water-saturated and unconsolidated. Massive conglomerates and volcanic
breccias at Northparkes are considered lateral equivalents to generally deep water sands and silts
elsewhere in the district, with occasional shallow water limestone intercalations. Thus, an envisaged
depositional environment is upon the flanks of a largely submerged volcanic edifice, host to debris
avalanches and surrounding carbonate banks (Simpson et al., 2005), perhaps behind the main arc front. At
least part of the volcanic system was emergent by the Late Ordovician, with explosive eruptions
documented by ignimbrites.

56
It is unclear if surface volcanism continued during porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal activity, although the
Northparkes intrusive rocks share a similar geochemistry and broad timing to rocks of the Wombin Volcanics,
indicating at least a genetic relationship. There is no evidence of wet-sediment interaction during
emplacement of the monzodiorite or BQM-AFG plutons, and a magmatic body of such volume would be
unlikely to stall and crystallise close to the surface with the observed coarse, equigranular (plutonic) textures.
This is supported by several fluid inclusion studies of mineralised veins which suggest that, assuming
lithostatic fluid pressures, ore formation occurred at minimum depths of 1-1.7 km (1-1.7 km given by Lickfold
et al., 2003; 1.7 km calculated here using the fluid entrapment pressures of 400-500 bar reported by
Heithersay and Walshe, 1995). However, lithostatic pressure conditions are probably unlikely at such shallow
depths, unless temperatures were consistently above the brittle-ductile transition. Using the more typical
assumption of hydrostatic fluid pressure yields depth estimates of 4-5 km, which are perhaps more realistic.

Unfortunately, an emplacement sequence cannot, as yet, be resolved by geochronology, given that


available age estimates of several intrusive phases overlap within error. However, such studies have
demonstrated that most intrusive activity and associated alteration took place in the latest Ordovician to
earliest Silurian. In comparison, the relative timing of magmatic-hydrothermal events is particularly well
constrained by field relationships, as detailed in this chapter, and forms the basis for the following
interpretation of the geological evolution at Northparkes.

Stage 1: Pre-mineralisation magmatism


Initial pre- to early-mineralisation emplacement of the BQM-AFG pluton resulted in biotite-magnetite
hornfelsing of the surrounding volcanics and would have likely driven any putative formation waters away
from the system. Prior to total solidification, bodies of QMZ were then injected into the pluton. The QMZ
shares some characteristics with the later QMP’s: higher levels of the intrusions are porphyritic, with K-
feldspar phenocrysts, disseminated Cu-sulphides and common miarolitic cavities; these cavities clearly
demonstrate a higher concentration of volatiles than the BQM-AFG. Despite this, the QMZ is not associated
with any well-developed veining, rather, it appears that any exsolved fluids remained trapped in the melt.

Stage 2: Principal magmatic-hydrothermal activity


Subsequent magmatism generated the QMP complexes and mineralising hydrothermal systems. By this
time, all presently observed levels of the BQM, AFG and QMZ had completely solidified. Several QMP
intrusions are present in each deposit and similar porphyries are associated with the many prospects across
the Northparkes district. Multiple QMP intrusions are present in each intrusive complex and may span the
mineralising episodes. However, those QMP’s most enriched in K-feldspar and containing fewer mafic
minerals are associated with the strongest mineralisation and appear to be most intimately linked to the
hydrothermal systems.

The QMP’s are ubiquitously crystal crowded and intrinsically K-feldspar altered. Such crowding in a typical
felsic magma would often be thought to produce a very high viscosity, yet, at Northparkes, these melts

57
infiltrate into even the smallest fractures (<1 mm) in surrounding volcanic rocks and were probably
emplaced to higher crustal levels than any prior intrusions. Further, large zones of UST’s, irregular miarolitic
cavities and broken, angular phenocrysts are present, and intrusive brecciation is commonplace. All such
observations attest to the forceful, possibly explosive, emplacement of a highly volatile-rich, low viscosity
‘magma’, perhaps better thought of as a crystal-bearing, silicate melt-aqueous fluid slurry (R. Armstrong,
2015, pers. comm.).

These magmas did not reach the paleosurface and, at a particular depth (confining pressure), magmatic
fluid was discharged around the margins and, in-particular, through the apices of the intrusions. The timing
of intrusive activity and mineralisation at each deposit, relative to one another, remains unknown;
however, initial fluid evolution appears similar across all the QMP complexes. Some reverse cross-cutting
relationships in vein types can be interpreted in terms of the overprinting of the later stages of one
magmatic-hydrothermal system by the earlier stages of a slightly younger one (c.f. Spencer et al., 2015).
Early-mineralisation QMP units are associated with biotite-magnetite alteration, including biotite and
magnetite veins (K1 and M1); subsequent K-feldspar-rich QMP units generated overprinting K-feldspar-
sulphide veinlets and quartz-sulphide stockwork veins (K2 and K3), in turn forming the deposit-central K-
feldspar alteration zone. At least two generations of K2 and K3 veins are present at E48 and E26 as a result
of multiple QMP intrusions, helping to boost ore grade.

Intense, deposit-peripheral, magnetite-biotite and propylitic alteration shells are constrained to occur
simultaneously with mineralisation and the central K-feldspar alteration. The clear spatial and temporal
links between these three alteration facies strongly suggests they were formed by a dominantly magmatic
fluid as it was expelled outwards from the intrusive complexes, progressively cooling and equilibrating
with the country rock. Alteration fluid evidently infiltrated through permeable volcanic units and fracture
zones. Within the magnetite ± biotite shell, fine, disseminated magnetite and biotite was developed
throughout permeable volcanics or formed distinct alteration clots in intrusive rocks; magnetite veins (M2)
occur across the facies. Within the propylitic zone, fluid was principally supplied through large fractures in
which chlorite-quartz-epidote-albite (P1) veins formed; these grade into progressively smaller-scale
epidote-chlorite-albite (P2) veins and epidote veinlets (P3) that appear to represent the more distal parts
of a linked fracture mesh. Disseminated and clotty epidote and chlorite also occur around veins and
throughout most permeable units. Anhydrite and chalcopyrite may be found within the centre of many
propylitic veins, which, combined with the consistent presence of large alteration halos around such veins,
further supports alteration by a magmatic-derived fluid.

Late stage evolution of the Northparkes deposits is variable. At E22 and E27 there is no further significant
alteration, but late-mineralisation QMP intrusions and sericitically-altered faults are recognised. In the core
of E48 (and parts of GRP314), progressive cooling of the system centre appears to have produced a
stagnating and acidic magmatic fluid which caused intense, pervasive and texturally-destructive white
sericite-albite-quartz-alunite ± chlorite alteration. At E26 and GRP314, cooler, late magmatic fluid was

58
structurally focused, forming the sericitic veins, characterised by vein-proximal grey quartz-sericite ± pyrite
alteration halos. These halos grade outwards into a variable, vein-distal assemblage in which mineralogy is
broadly controlled by distance to the intrusive complexes.

Stage 3: Late-stage magmatic-hydrothermal activity


Late-mineralisation QMP intrusions were subsequently emplaced at E26 and GRP314; they contained a
significant amount of immiscible fluid, represented by frequent anhydrite-quartz-aplite ± biotite
segregations and UST’s. Such large quantities of anhydrite suggest prevailing highly oxidised conditions.
Escape of this fluid, mostly through pre-existing weaknesses (sericitic veins), appears to have generated
anhydrite-quartz veins, some of which contain notable sphalerite. Base metal veins, also characterised by
sphalerite, are present throughout Northparkes and may be genetically related to this event. The exact
origin of the base metal veins remains unknown, although certain phases must post-date the propylitic (P1
and P2) and sericitic veins. Remaining fluid activity at E26 and GRP314 was restricted to barren anhydrite ±
pyrite veining.

Stage 4: Post-mineralisation magmatism


Continued post-mineralisation magmatism is evidenced by the Mafic Zero and Zero monzonite porphyries,
which were emplaced as SE-striking composite dykes. The exact timing of the post-mineralisation
monzonite porphyry at E34 is presently unknown but, based on the evidence outlined in section 2.4.3,
intrusion of this phase may have generated at least some of the widespread pebble dykes. If these breccia
dykes were generated by phreatomagmatic activity, then the local country rock units must have been
water-saturated by this time, perhaps indicative of surface exhumation, or ingress of water as a result of
significant cooling of the magmatic system. The pebble dykes cut all mineralisation and veins, including
the sericitic, base metal and propylitic (P2 and P3) veins; Lickfold (2002) also reported fragments of the Zero
porphyry within them.

Weak propylitic alteration persisted slightly beyond this late magmatic activity, affecting the monzonite
porphyries and occasionally exploiting pebble dykes as conduits; it is limited to P3 epidote veinlets and
selective replacement of mafic minerals and, more rarely, plagioclase.

Final, thin, alkali basalt dykes cut through the Northparkes district and are either unaltered or selectively
overprinted by cream-coloured quartz-sericite. Some dykes were emplaced along the Altona Fault.

As a consequence of the underlying plutonic mass, the Northparkes area escaped major deformation
during continental accretion and subsequent orogenies. The low angle Altona Fault is the most significant
feature developed during accretion, transecting the top of mineralised systems.

2.9 C ONCLUSIONS
The geology at Northparkes records over 60 Ma of volcanic evolution within the Macquarie Island Arc,
culminating in latest Ordovician to earliest Silurian porphyry Cu-Au mineralisation. All volcanic and intrusive
rocks are silica-saturated but distinctively alkaline/shoshonitic in character. The majority of magmatism
occurred prior to ore formation, including both extensive seafloor volcanism and coeval intrusions into the
volcanic pile. The deposits are located within a major volcanic-plutonic centre, founded upon a large
monzonite to alkali granite intrusion that many represent an original shallow crustal magma chamber.

Mineralisation is linked to the forcible, periodic escape of low viscosity, crystal- and volatile-rich magmas.
These exploited pre-existing structural intersections and focused the discharge of large quantities of
magmatic fluids from the underlying chamber. The fluids induced hydrofracturing, producing intricate
networks of K-feldspar-sulphide veinlets and quartz-sulphide stockwork veins, surrounded by K-feldspar-
dominated alteration. Ore grades are exclusively located within the potassic alteration zones, although
some have been sericitically overprinted. Spent fluids continued to be driven outwards, largely as a result
of thermal buoyancy and magmatic overpressure, infiltrating both laterally and upwards into the
surrounding pluton and volcano-sedimentary packages through pre-existing faults/fractures and
permeable units. Progressive cooling and equilibration of the fluids toward lower water:rock ratios formed
a shell of magnetite-biotite alteration and eventual widespread peripheral propylitic alteration. The
appearance of each alteration facies at any point is a function of host rock composition, permeability,
vein/fracture density and distance from the system centre.

Despite broadly similar characteristics, each individual deposit at Northparkes is unique and generated a
distinct hydrothermal system. Magmatic-hydrothermal breccias are common at E27, whereas anhydrite is
particularly abundant only at E26 and GRP314, where it is associated with late-mineralisation QMP
intrusions. Significant sericitic alteration is lacking at E22 and E27, but uniformly overprints much of the
core at E48 and is vein-related at E26 and GRP314.

Whole rock geochemical trends illustrate that magmatic evolution was punctuated by episodic return to
more primitive melt compositions. Indeed, the QMZ and QMP’s could not have been generated by simple
fractional crystallisation of the BQM-AFG pluton, and mafic monzonite porphyries and alkaline dykes occur
post-mineralisation. This strongly suggests that mafic alkaline magmas were periodically re-injected into
the parental magmatic chamber; irregular mixing textures between the Mafic Zero and Zero porphyries
appear to record a rare insight into this process. As suggested by Lickfold et al. (2007), such re-supply of
heat and volatiles was probably critical to successful mineralisation and may even have helped trigger
porphyry emplacement and fluid escape.

All five individual deposits were discovered over the last four decades and have been consistently at the
forefront of mining, engineering and exploration technology. All deposits remain open at depth and
numerous prospects have been identified throughout the district. Clearly significant exploration potential
and engineering challenges still exist, while future discoveries and continued exploitation of current
resources will no doubt continue to improve our understanding.

3. ALTERATION LITHOGEOCHEMISTRY AND MASS BALANCE
CONSTRAINTS ON ALTERATION

3.1 I NTRODUCTION
Porphyry-style orebodies are hosted within large volumes of hydrothermally altered rock, in which there is
a characteristic transition in the alteration mineral assemblage from a domain of deposit-central potassic
alteration, outward into deposit-distal propylitic alteration. This broadly concentric distribution of distinct
alteration facies has been fundamental to the porphyry deposit model since the description of the San
Manuel-Kalamazoo deposit by Lowell and Guilbert (1970). Similarly, hypogene zonation in metals,
comprising central enrichment in Cu-Au-Mo which grades outwards through a peripheral halo of pyrite (Fe
addition) followed by elevated Mn-Zn-Pb, has long since been noted (Emmons, 1927) and documented in
several deposits (e.g. Carson et al., 1976; John, 1978; Chaffee, 1982), including E26 at Northparkes
(Heithersay and Walshe, 1995). These metal anomalies are typically defined using whole rock data, drill
core assay data and/or soil studies, and are identified simply as areas with higher concentrations than
local/regional/crustal background.

Accordingly, trends in both alteration mineralogy and metal abundance are routinely used in mineral
exploration, both for target generation and as vectors to orebodies. Despite this, deposit descriptions only
rarely integrate observations of coexisting spatial changes in alteration mineralogy and quantitative data
on metal enrichment. Those which do (e.g. Jerome, 1966; Cox et al., 1975; Jones, 1992; Zaluski et al., 1994;
Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Kouzmanov and Pokrovski, 2012) demonstrate the obvious link between
potassic alteration and ore-grade Cu ± Au ± Mo mineralisation, along with the often overlooked correlation
between elevated Mn ± Zn ± Pb and propylitic alteration. Despite this, the controls on whole rock
anomalism, in terms of the minerals present, are rarely, if ever, investigated. Rather, propylitic alteration is
typically regarded as a weak, broadly isochemical facies in which any metasomatism is limited to addition
of H+, a view which appears to stem from its original description at the Comstock Lode (Becker, 1882) and
review by Meyer and Hemley (1967). Although this may be the case for weak and disseminated epidote-
chlorite assemblages, particularly those developed in metamorphism, it is clearly not applicable to the
often intense propylitic alteration that is associated with magmatic-hydrothermal porphyry ore systems,
where net addition of metals is evident from the whole rock halos described above.

Alteration assemblages are a result of fluid-rock interaction and associated element transfer, hence both
metal endowment and alteration are a consequence of the same processes and should be viewed together.
The objective of this chapter is to evaluate the net geochemical changes which characterise each major
alteration domain at Northparkes by rigorous calculation of the gains or losses of 38 major, minor and trace
elements via a mass balance approach. This approach allows the extent of metasomatism for a range of

61
elements to be directly correlated to both the alteration minerals that are present and the intensity of
alteration, rather than simply showing spatial coincidences between alteration domains and whole rock
geochemical anomalies. Further, variations in the host rock around deposits and veins may influence the
whole rock geochemical anomalies that are defined, by assessing changes relative to least altered
photoliths this effect is removed.

The alteration facies examined are:

1) Potassic alteration, dominated by K-feldspar ± biotite; this facies is widespread in the centre of the
porphyry systems and is intimately associated with mineralisation (see section 2.6.2).

2) Potassic alteration, dominated by magnetite ± biotite and developed as an annulus around each
deposit at Northparkes (see section 2.6.3).

3) Propylitic alteration, dominated by chlorite-epidote and forming an outer halo which encloses
zones of potassic alteration (see section 2.6.4). This is examined both generally by consideration of
all strongly altered samples, and in detail by grouping into subcategories of: (i) most intense
chlorite-sericite (phengite) + minor epidote ± pyrite alteration; (ii) strong chlorite-epidote-sericite-
hematite alteration; and (iii) moderate chlorite-epidote-albite-hematite alteration. These categories
match the transitions observed in the halos of P1 veins (as illustrated in Fig. 2.20l, left to right
respectively) and correspond to the progression from most intense to weakest propylitic alteration.

4) Sericitic alteration and associated alteration zones developed around the sericitic veins (see section
2.6.5). With increasing distance from vein centres these comprise: (i) intense, vein-proximal,
texturally-destructive, grey quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration; (ii) intense, transitional, sericite-
chlorite alteration; (iii) moderate, transitional, sericite-chlorite-epidote alteration; and (iv)
outermost, vein-distal, weak epidote-hematite-chlorite alteration.

Surprisingly, such mass transfer studies of alteration in porphyry systems are comparatively rare. The
mobility of major elements during potassic alteration at the Bingham Canyon Cu-Au-Mo deposit of Utah,
USA, was rigorously quantified by Baumgartner and Olsen (1995). Elsewhere, a simplified isocon-based
mass balance approach, without taking error into account, was applied to estimate changes in selected
elements associated with alteration facies at the Darrehzar and Maher-Abad Cu-Au deposits in Iran
(Derakhshani and Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm et al., 2014), and the Bajo de la Alumbrera Cu-Au deposit
in Argentina (Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002). In the Collahuasi district of Chile, Urqueta et al. (2009) modelled
primary lithological variability of selected elements in order to identify geochemical changes
corresponding to the formation of major alteration minerals in potassic, sericitic and argillic facies. Mass
transfer was used to quantify alteration intensity as a guide to mineralisation rather than to study element
mobility within the hydrothermal system. Most recently, Halley et al. (2015) identified elements which
typically form negative or positive geochemical anomalies (relative to average crustal abundances) in,
around and above porphyry orebodies, based largely on rock chip samples from the Ann-Mason Cu-Mo
deposit, Nevada, USA. However, this study ignored both volume/mass changes and primary lithological
variability; further, element anomalies were not explicitly linked to specific alteration facies and intensity.

62
Given the distinct, concentrically zoned distribution of facies 1-3 above (detailed in Chapter 2), this study
in-turn quantitatively demonstrates the dispersion pattern of all significant elements within a complete
porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal system and, by inference, their leaching, transport and deposition by
hydrothermal fluids.

3.2 M ETHODOLOGY
In this study, calculation of element gain or loss is based on the mass balance approach of Grant (1986)
modified from Gresens (1967) and implemented based on the suggestions of Leitch and Lentz (1994); see
section 3.2.4. In this method, whole rock geochemical data from altered samples is compared to data from
least altered or unaltered samples of the same lithology in order to determine which elements were net
added to, or lost from the rock during alteration. For this approach, immobile elements must be identified
in order to correct for mass changes.

3.2.1 Sample dataset


The underlying whole rock geochemical dataset is comprised of 204 samples, collected from logged
diamond drill core, that were analysed for major elements and 31 trace elements (including the REE). An
account of the analytical techniques is given in section 2.5, and the dataset is reported in full as part of
Appendices D and E. For most analytical techniques, typically between 13-15 randomly selected samples
were analysed twice, and several replicate analyses were conducted on 3-5 different laboratory standards.
One standard deviation was calculated for each element using each set of replicate data (for both
standards and natural samples) in which the element was >LOD. The mean of these standard deviation
values encapsulates analytical precision, and is given for each element ( ) as in Table 3.1. The mean
composition of standards was reported to match preferred reference values within one , assuring
analytical accuracy.

Although data for all samples of relevant lithology and alteration type are used to assess element
immobility, calculations to assess net element gain/loss are based only on those samples specifically
collected for this purpose, being representative altered and least altered examples.

3.2.2 Selected sample sets
Altered and least altered samples were selected and classified into alteration types based on their context
within logged drill core and observed abundances of alteration minerals. The majority of samples are of
the BQM owing to its intrinsic suitability for mass transfer analysis – a broadly homogeneous, easily
recognisable intrusive phase which is affected by all alteration types to variable extents. Nonetheless,
samples of the AFG and volcanic country rocks, including trachyandesite, trachyte, trachytic ignimbrite and
volcanic sandstone were also collected to observe any influence of host rock on element transfer patterns.
In all cases, samples were obtained to facilitate one of two possible approaches: 1) comparison of averaged
compositional data from several least altered and most altered examples; or, 2) local, individual
comparisons of strong alteration with directly adjacent weaker alteration of the same type. The former
approach was particularly appropriate for the BQM, while the latter was the only way to calculate element
transfers in the heterogeneous volcanic sandstones.

Careful selection of particular sample sets therefore permitted the quantification of element mobility for
several alteration facies within different lithologies. Samples chosen for comparison in each mass transfer
calculation are summarised in Table 3.2.

3.2.3 Quantification of element gain or loss
The term ‘immobile element’ refers to those elements which are neither added to, or lost from, a rock during
fluid-rock interaction. Therefore, intuitively, the concentration of an immobile element in an altered rock
( ) of mass is directly proportional to its concentration in the original rock ( ) of mass :

/
∙ (3.1)

Where:

/
(3.2)

/
The proportionality constant, or mass ratio ( ), is therefore a measure of bulk mass change during
/
alteration. values <1 imply overall mass gain, effectively diluting the concentration of immobile
elements, whereas values >1 imply overall mass loss, acting to increase their concentration.

The abundance of a mobile element in an altered rock is further dependent on the concentration change
which results from net addition or loss of the element during alteration (∆ ):

/
∙ ∆ (3.3)

Equation 3.3 is the mass balance expression of Grant (1986), modified from Gresens (1967). Values for
and are determined from lithogeochemical analysis of altered and unaltered (or more typically least
altered) samples of the same lithology. Both Equations 3.1 and 3.3 are linear, thus, on a plot of . ,
immobile elements (for which ∆ 0) define a best-fit straight line through the origin. This line is often
/
referred to as the ‘isocon’ (line of equal concentration; Grant, 1986), the gradient of which is equal to .
Given this value, Equation 3.3 may then be rearranged to quantify the gain and loss of mobile elements:

/
∆ ∙ (3.4)

Such isocon plots provide a useful visual representation of mass balance data and test of element
immobility. However, generating the plots necessitates arbitrary scaling of element concentrations for
clarity; this is tiresome and, if applied to immobile elements, changes the position of data points relative to
/
one another which, in turn, influences the gradient of the isocon and value of (e.g. Baumgartner and
Olsen, 1995; Mukherjee and Gupta, 2008). The data point for every element is also associated with its own
unique uncertainties in and as a result of both analytical uncertainty and natural variability within
/
each lithology. Accordingly, to obtain an accurate isocon and value, element concentrations should
not be scaled and uncertainties must be taken into account. Baumgartner and Olsen (1995) accomplished
this by undertaking a mathematically complex - -weighted, least-squares regression for immobile
element data. Here, an equally rigorous but simpler approach was developed, based on the suggestions of
Leitch and Lentz (1994) after Kretz et al. (1989) and Lentz and Goodfellow (1993).

67
Initially, the uncertainty in concentration (both and ) for every element ( ), arising from primary
variability within each lithology, was approximated as the standard deviation of values from least altered
samples ( ). Obtaining least altered representative samples is challenging; although for all lithologies
at least two samples were analysed, this approximation is most reliable for the biotite quartz monzonite in
which seven analyses were acquired. Secondary lithological variability, largely caused by slight differences
in alteration intensity and/or veining between altered samples, is not factored into uncertainty calculations
as it is not a true source of error, but rather intrinsic to the alteration process being evaluated and
dependent on each selection of altered samples.

An overall uncertainty for each element in each lithology ( ) was then calculated by combining
with analytical uncertainty, (section 3.2.1), in quadrature:

(3.5)

/
The resulting set of values is provided in Table 3.1. Subsequently, using Equation 3.1, a value for
/
was obtained for each immobile element ( ) and the associated propagated error ( ) determined
from the standard relationship (e.g. Bevington, 1969; Kretz, 1985):

/ (3.6)

/
A best-fit value for taking into account each associated error ( ) could then be calculated as a simple
inverse-variance weighted average:

/
/ ∑
(3.7)
∑ ⁄

/
This value of was then used to calculate net element gain or loss during alteration (∆ ) using
Equation 3.4; the uncertainty in ∆ is equal to . Note Equations 3.5-3.7 reasonably assume errors are
normally distributed and are not correlated with one another.

68
3.3 S ELECTION OF IMMOBILE ELEMENTS
As demonstrated in section 3.2.3, identification of immobile elements is required in order to determine the
/
value used in each mass balance calculation. Typically, elements of highest ionic potential are
considered least mobile during fluid-rock interaction, with several studies having demonstrated the
broadly immobile nature of the rare earth elements (REE; e.g. Menzies et al., 1979; Muecke et al., 1979;
Michard et al., 1983; Michard, 1989) and high field strength elements (HFSE) i.e. Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta and Ti (e.g.
Floyd and Winchester, 1978; MacLean and Kranidiotis, 1987; Niri, 2001). Indeed, assumption of the
immobile behaviour of these groups underlies their use in studies of petrogenesis (e.g. Pearce and Cann,
1973; Hanson, 1980).

Nonetheless, under appropriate physicochemical conditions and given suitable ligands, all such elements
may be variously mobilised, and this behaviour is now well documented, e.g. for REE: Hellman et al. (1979),
Nesbitt (1979), Alderton et al. (1980), Lottermoser (1992), Valsami and Cann (1992), Wilkinson et al. (2011),
and for HFSE: Finlow-Bates and Stumpfl (1981), Brewer and Atkin (1989), Rubin et al. (1993), Jiang (2000),
Jiang et al. (2005). Therefore, in all mass balance based investigations it is necessary to first establish which
elements are immobile in a given sample suite.

Logically, for any two immobile elements, the ratio of one to the other remains constant throughout
alteration, but the absolute concentration of both depends on the extent of mass loss or gain (Eq. 3.1).
Consequently, if several analyses are made of variously altered rocks, belonging to the same initial and
chemically homogeneous lithology, then plots of one immobile element against another will define a
straight line (a so called ‘alteration line’), which at infinite mass gain would pass through the origin
(MacLean and Kranidiotis, 1987). For rock suites with the same major minerals present (e.g. igneous
fractionation series), and provided both immobile elements plotted have low-levels of compatibility within
these minerals, even data from different lithologies will plot along the same alteration line. Where the two
immobile elements have contrasting preferences for the minerals present, or are both compatible within
them, a separate alteration line is produced for each lithology (MacLean and Barrett, 1993). Naturally, the
degree of linearity in the data is determined by the absolute mobility of each element, the precision of
analysis and heterogeneity in the host lithology.

At Northparkes, alteration lines are well-defined by the REE in all lithologies across all alteration types (Fig.
3.1). To some extent, these excellent linear trends are a result of the similar geochemical properties of the
REE, and therefore mineralogical residencies across the group. Nonetheless, fluid mobilisation would still
be expected to preferentially alter the concentration ratio between the different REE (e.g. Nesbitt, 1979;
Alderton et al., 1980; Bau, 1991), and no such data scatter is observed. Only Eu shows relatively poor trends
(Fig. 3.1f), presumably owing to its presence as a divalent cation in plagioclase. Divalent Eu is of lower ionic
potential and thus more readily mobilised, and plagioclase destruction is observed in many altered rocks.
Immobile behaviour of the remainder of the REE is also suggested by N-MORB normalised REE plots for all

69
lithologies (Figs. 2.13, 2.15), in which patterns for variously altered rocks are identical to one another, and
are as expected for fresh rocks of similar petrogenesis. Furthermore, the REE consistently lie upon the
obvious isocon in all calculations, both by visual inspection and statistically, by forming a cluster of similar
/
slope values (Fig. 3.2).

Fig. 3.1 – Plots to determine the mobility of selected elements during alteration; data for all relevant samples ( 175)
are shown, representing fresh through to intense, texturally-destructive alteration of all facies. (a-n) all REE plotted against
Ce; the strong covariation observed within each lithological group is indicative of the immobile behaviour of these
elements (although Eu is relatively scattered in the plagioclase-rich BQM and AFG). Consequently, similar alteration lines
are produced with any combination of these elements. (o-q) illustrate the more scattered nature of trends produced for
other elements with high ionic potential, note the contrasting mineralogical residence of Zr and Ti compared to Ce results
in each lithology defining its own trend/group. No strong correlation is evidenced using Zr in the BQM and AFG samples.

70
The HFSE typically do not define strong alteration lines, but rather form broad scattered correlations with
the REE (e.g. Fig. 3.1o, p). For Zr, Hf, Nb and U, within samples of the BQM and AFG, no correlations are
developed (e.g. Fig. 3.1o). These observations strongly suggest that several HFSE were hydrothermally
mobilised during alteration to some extent. Accordingly, elements such as Zr, Nb and Hf frequently plot,
within uncertainty, away from the distinct isocon in several mass transfer analyses (e.g. Fig. 3.2a).
Geological evidence for the mobility of these elements is also provided in the form of relatively large (0.1-
0.6 mm long) hydrothermal zircons, which may occasionally be observed in propylitic veins (Fig. 3.3a-b).

Evidence from alteration textures also demonstrates that Ti and P were hydrothermally mobilised, at least
during propylitic alteration. In this domain, secondary titanite and apatite are routinely observed as part of
the alteration assemblage. However, these minerals are only ever developed as microscopic inclusions,
mostly within and around grains of original Ti- and/or P-bearing minerals, e.g. biotite, magnetite (Fig. 3.3c-
d). Unlike zircon, apatite and titanite have not been observed within vein fill material. Consequently, Ti and
P appear to have remained broadly immobile at the scale of sampling, in much the same way as the REE.
Indeed, the REE are probably mostly accommodated within both secondary and primary apatite. The latter
appears to have remained stable during alteration, and was observed throughout all the alteration facies
studied. Alteration lines indicating immobility are also observed, although slightly scattered, between P2O5
and the REE in many lithologies (e.g. Fig. 3.1q).

Based on these mineralogical observations, well-defined alteration lines (Fig. 3.1) and isocon plots (Fig. 3.2),
/
the REE (excluding Eu) were chosen as the immobile elements that were used to quantify in this study
across all alteration types. TiO2 and P2O5 are treated as mobile and their net changes quantified with the
expectation they should be negligible, providing a second check on the validity of results.

71

most altered samples of biotite quartz monzonite (BQM). (a) for calculation 1: potassic, K-feldspar-dominated alteration;
and (b) for calculation 8: general strongly altered samples of propylitic mineralogy. Error bars correspond to for each
element in BQM, as listed in Table 3.1. All REE (excluding Eu) are shown as red diamonds and are not scaled; the average
/
value calculated from these elements (see section 3.2.3) was used to construct the isocons shown. Mobile elements
are scaled (as indicated) for visual representation only; those above and below the isocon are respectively added or lost
during alteration. Insets show individual / values for each element, ranked from smallest to largest - note how the REE
fall within the principal population of elements with equivalent / values, the average of which naturally defines the
isocon gradient for each calculation.

3.4 R ESULTS OF THE MASS TRANSFER CALCULATIONS


The results for each mass transfer calculation (Table 3.2) are given in Table 3.3 and presented graphically
in Figures 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. Note Ag, Cd, Cr, Hg, Li, Ni, Pd and Pt were consistently at or below the limit of
detection, thus any transfer could not be quantified.

3.4.1 Immobile elements


TiO2, P2O5, Cs, Eu, Sn, Bi, Sb and Te were immobile, at the scale of sampling and within uncertainty,
throughout all alteration zones. Similarly, Hf, Ta, Nb and U were essentially immobile given that quantified
net gain or loss is consistently ≤1.7 ppm. However, these minor changes do show a slight correlation with
the far larger variability demonstrated for Zr, suggesting they are a result of zircon dissolution or
precipitation.

3.4.2 Mobile elements
Several elements were consistently mobilised throughout all of the studied alteration facies: SiO2, Al2O3,
Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O, S, Ba, Rb, Sr, Cu, Pb and Zn. Other elements, including, Ga, V, Zr, W, As, Se, Mo
and Au were mobilised only during particular types of alteration, often with their net addition/loss
dependant on alteration intensity (Figs. 3.4-3.6).

The direction and magnitude of major element metasomatism (i.e. net loss or gain) was controlled by the
type and abundance of minerals present in the host rock, and the extent to which they were destroyed,
traded-off against the type and abundance of the secondary minerals that were developed. For example,
in K-feldspar-dominated potassic alteration, although SiO2, K2O and Al2O3 were consistently added to all
lithologies, the extent of addition was lowest in the markedly felsic trachytes and trachytic volcanic
breccias, as they were already enriched in these components and lacked abundant reactive phases (Fig.
3.4a). Likewise, although Fe2O3 was typically lost (as primary mafic phases were destroyed), given the
limited abundance of primary mafic minerals in such felsic rocks, formation of Fe-bearing ore sulphides
outweighed this loss in one example (Calculation 3), such that Fe2O3 was net-gained (Fig. 3.4a). Regardless,
the processes and reactions which occurred in all instances were the same. Similarly, when comparing the
net effects of propylitic alteration of varying intensity together, it appears that some elements were
variably lost or gained, e.g. SiO2 and Al2O3 (Fig. 3.4c). Yet, with more detailed investigation (Fig. 3.5), it
becomes clear that such changes were, in fact, systematic, controlled principally by the intensity of
alteration.

The behaviour of several minor and trace elements may follow that of geochemically similar major elements,
e.g. net gain/loss of Rb often mimics changes in K2O (seen clearly in Fig. 3.6). Alternatively, some minor
elements were controlled almost exclusively by the reaction of the key minerals in which they resided, e.g.
net gain/loss of Ba and Sr exhibits a strong correlation with the formation/destruction of feldspars (see
section 3.5).

Generally, the extent of bulk mass gain is shown to decrease from the potassic to propylitic alteration facies,
and, around the sericitic veins, from the sericitic to propylitic alteration zones. Bulk mass gain also
decreases with progression from most intense to least intense alteration within any given facies. Volatile
components (represented by LOI) are consistently net added in all facies, but the largest gains in LOI are
associated with sericitic and propylitic alteration.

There is a systematic, broadly complementary geochemical relationship between propylitic alteration and
both potassic and sericitic alteration (Figs. 3.4, 3.6). The latter two facies, despite their different mineral
assemblages, had similar geochemical effects: in most cases SiO2, K2O, Al2O3, K2O, Na2O, S, Cu and Au were
gained, and Fe2O3, CaO, MnO and MgO were lost. In contrast, during propylitic alteration, Fe2O3, CaO, MnO
and MgO, together with Zn and Pb were net added, and Na2O, K2O and Si2O3 were often removed. Similar
geochemical transitions are observed with progression from most to least intense propylitic alteration (Fig. 3.5).

79
3.5 D ISCUSSION : THE NET CHEMICAL EFFECTS OF ALTERATION
3.5.1 Potassic, K-feldspar alteration
In all examples, this potassic facies was associated with significant addition of SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, S, Cu, Mo
and Au together with minor addition of Ga, W and Se (Fig. 3.4a). Naturally, this is consistent with the
development of K-feldspar and biotite, accompanied by general silicification and the formation of
disseminated ore sulphides (dominated by auriferous bornite and chalcopyrite). Rb was also typically
gained, demonstrating a strong affinity with K2O, which it presumably substituted for in biotite and K-
feldspar. LOI values were increased in the majority of examples, attesting to the addition of volatiles which
must be largely present as OH in mica; notable C was only added in one sample.

/
Potassic alteration shows the largest extent of mass gain ( 0.88) and, although samples inevitably
included occasional biotite (K1), K-feldspar-sulphide (K2) and quartz-sulphide (K3) veins that could account
for some mass gain, no samples contained significant quartz vein stockworks. Thus, to some extent, this
result probably reflects an increase in rock density.

MnO and, in most cases, Fe2O3 were mobilised out of the rock during potassic alteration, whereas MgO was
slightly lost or gained. This appears to reflect the destruction of abundant primary magnetite and biotite,
along with rarer pyroxene and hornblende, but would have been a trade-off against the extent of
secondary biotite development that was, in turn, partly controlled by host lithology.

Similarly, CaO and Na2O were variously mobilised but, in the majority of cases, CaO was lost. Both elements
were principally hosted in plagioclase, along with minor pyroxene and hornblende, all of which were
destroyed and replaced by quartz-K-feldspar ± biotite. Evidently, Ca was mostly liberated by these
reactions, although, under oxidised conditions where sulphate anions were stable, it may have been
reprecipitated as anhydrite. Na could also have been incorporated into both secondary K-feldspar and
biotite. Bulk gain or loss of CaO and Na2O was therefore controlled by the abundance of plagioclase in the
original rock and the extent of replacement, i.e. alteration intensity.

Large uncertainties exist for Sr and Ba in several calculations. Where significant gain or loss of these
elements is indicated, the patterns are inconsistent, suggesting their mobility was controlled by the
availability of suitable host minerals such as plagioclase and mica, rather than the physicochemical
conditions of alteration.

V, Pb, Zn and As typically demonstrate insignificant gain or loss and can be considered to have been
broadly immobile in this alteration domain. Co, within uncertainty, shows a consistent but trivial loss of ≤3
ppm, whereas Zr was clearly added by ≤37 ppm.

Results are in excellent agreement with changes documented for potassic alteration at the Bingham,
Darrehzar, Maher-Abad and Bajo de la Alumbrera deposits in which K2O, S, C, LOI, Cu, Au, Mo, Rb and Se
were consistently gained, along with SiO2 and Al2O3 in most instances. CaO, Sr, Fe2O3 and Na2O were

80
typically lost and MnO, Zn and Pb show variable minor gain or loss. P2O5 and TiO2 remained immobile
(Baumgartner and Olsen, 1995; Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Derakhshani and Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm
et al., 2014).

In contrast, it was suggested by van Dongen et al. (2010) that depletion of P and Ti together with Zr and
REE is commonplace during potassic alteration in porphyry systems, based on a study of whole rock REE
patterns and mineralogical observations at the Ok Tedi Cu-Au deposit of Papua New Guinea. van Dongen
et al. (2010) also postulated that such losses could potentially account for the lower concentrations of REE
documented in the mineralised, K-feldspar-dominated QMP intrusions at Northparkes (see section 2.5.2).
However, the demonstrated immobile behaviour of the REE, Ti and P, along with addition of Zr in this study,
argues against this hypothesis. Rather, the lower abundance of REE in these intrinsically strongly
potassically-altered intrusions is most simply explained as a result of bulk mass gain.

3.5.2 Potassic, magnetite ± biotite alteration


The magnetite ± biotite alteration annulus shares some similarities with the central K-feldspar-dominated
potassic facies, typically showing an increase in SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, S, volatiles/LOI, Rb, Cu and Au (Fig. 3.4b).
However, by comparison, the magnitude of these gains was much reduced, particularly for K2O, Rb, Cu, Au
and S, which were even immobile within uncertainty in some examples. These changes were expressed
mineralogically by a far lower abundance of sulphides, secondary K-feldspar (which may not be present)
and biotite. Silicification still occurred and plagioclase was altered, but usually shows partial replacement
by sericite rather than total destruction and replacement by K-feldspar. Although no samples contained
/
veins, magnetite ± biotite alteration was also characterised by bulk mass gain ( 0.91).

Despite the ubiquitous presence of magnetite and common occurrence of biotite, Fe2O3 and MgO were
broadly immobile in the BQM, indicating that Fe and Mg were probably just locally transferred from original
mafic sites into larger, but more dispersed clots containing the secondary minerals. More typically
however, especially in the markedly felsic trachytic volcanic breccias which lack any significant primary
mafic minerals, Fe2O3 and MgO were both gained during this alteration as magnetite and biotite were
developed.

Changes in CaO are correlated with changes in Sr, both of which were lost in the BQM at the same time as
Na2O was gained, suggesting a control by plagioclase. However, it is unclear if this resulted from conversion
of anorthitic plagioclase into sericite, or through limited replacement of anorthitic plagioclase by quartz-
K-feldspar-albite. Although Na is more easily accommodated in the latter assemblage, sericitisation is more
commonly observed.

Ba and MnO were consistently gained in this alteration facies, and Zn was also clearly added in the majority
of samples. Further, minor addition of Ga and As occurred and, although Pb generally remained immobile
within uncertainty, it too appears to trend toward slight addition. In contrast, Mo, W and Se were immobile.
V, Co and Zr were variously added or lost, seemingly dependent on lithology.

81
3.5.3 Propylitic alteration
/
The majority of propylitic alteration was mass conservative ( 0.97; Fig. 3.4c) and, for many elements,
the geochemical effects of ‘average’ propylitic alteration may be considered as the inverse of potassic, K-
feldspar-dominated alteration (c.f. Fig. 3.4a and c). SiO2, Al2O3, K2O and Rb were often lost, and net addition
of CaO, Fe2O3, MgO, MnO, C, As and Co was common. Zn and Pb were also typically gained, Zn often more
so than Cu, and there was significant enrichment of volatiles/LOI. Such changes reflect the development
of chlorite and epidote along with variable quantities of phengitic sericite, pyrite, hematite and albite.
These trends are similar to those reported for the Bajo de la Alumbrera, Darrehzar and Maher-Abad
deposits, where propylitic alteration was associated with consistent gain of C, LOI, Fe2O3, MnO, Zn, Pb and
in most cases MgO, and loss of K2O, Na2O, SiO2 and Rb (Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Derakhshani and
Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm et al., 2014).

Of all the alteration facies at Northparkes, the propylitic zone is perhaps the most spatially heterogeneous,
with alteration intensity largely controlled by the permeability and mineralogy of host rocks. The scatter in
results for the average propylitic alteration calculations (Fig. 3.4c) is largely due to the grouping together
of different protoliths which exhibit variable alteration intensity. When the subcategories of propylitic
alteration, based on alteration intensity, are considered separately for only two main protoliths (Fig. 3.5),
far more consistent trends are observed. These subcategories, discussed below, show a consistent spatial
relationship with one another. Around P1 propylitic veins the most intense, vein-proximal propylitic
alteration grades outwards into progressively weaker propylitic alteration, accompanied by systematic
changes in the alteration minerals that are present until, in some instances, mostly fresh rocks are
encountered (see sections 2.6.4, 3.1; Figs. 2.20l, 3.7a). Such zonation, on the scale of 4 cm to >4 m around
P1 veins, is interpreted to represent a gradual transition toward fluid-rock equilibrium with progression
away from areas of fracture-focused fluid flow. Consequently, it is possible to present the calculated
element transfers as a series of profiles to illustrate geochemical dispersion around the P1 propylitic veins
(Fig. 3.7), using the most robust calculations based on average BQM compositions.

82
Intense propylitic alteration
The most intense propylitic alteration was
plagioclase, K-feldspar, magnetite and biotite
destructive, with replacement by chlorite and
phengite, accompanied by varying abundances of
epidote, pyrite and minor calcite. The formation of
such minerals imparted a dark green colouration to
the rock and resulted in the metasomatic addition
of Fe2O3, MgO, K2O, C, S and volatiles/LOI (Fig. 3.5a).
Al2O3 appears to have been broadly conserved in
these reactions. CaO was bulk gained or lost
depending on the original abundance of Ca in
plagioclase, and the extent of plagioclase
destruction, compared to the development of
epidote and calcite. Na2O was stripped from the
rock, largely representing the removal of Na in
plagioclase. Similarly, Sr and Ba were very strongly
depleted, again probably due to feldspar
destruction. SiO2 may have been leached as
generally felsic minerals were replaced by mafic
minerals, including local destruction of some
primary quartz, however, SiO2 was reprecipitated as
quartz both in vein centres and as overgrowths on
relict grains. Consequently, the observed net gain

net change. Data is plotted to demonstrate the
approximate relative distances between alteration
domains of various intensity, but absolute values vary,
with the progression taking place within 10’s cm around
some veins to 10’s m in other areas, presumably dependent
on permeability and total fluid flux.

83
or loss of SiO2 is dependent on the scale at which remobilisation occurred vs. the scale of sampling. Where
samples include veins, minor net addition of SiO2 is evidenced.

During intense propylitic alteration, MnO was consistently net added to rocks, usually together with Zn, Cu
and sometimes Pb; Au may even have been added by up to 20 ppb. Cu, Zn and Pb can rarely be observed
as specks of chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Mn, Zn and Pb were further accommodated by
substitution for other divalent cations in the assemblage, particularly within chlorite, epidote and/or
phengite (Chapter 4). W, As and Rb were also gained within this facies. The mineralogical residence of W is
unknown, but As may have been accommodated readily in pyrite and epidote (e.g. Cooke et al., 2014a;
Gregory et al., 2015). Rb gain is correlated with the addition of K2O, Rb probably having substituted for K in
phengite. V and Zr either remained immobile or were slightly lost.

Strong propylitic alteration


Within this facies, MgO, MnO, Fe2O3, K2O, C, S, H, Cu, Zn, Pb, Rb and volatiles/LOI were still typically gained
and Sr and Na2O were still lost during alteration (Fig. 3.5b); however, in all cases, these changes were of
lower magnitude compared to the more intense propylitic alteration discussed above (Figs. 3.5, 3.7).
Correspondingly, less feldspar destruction occurred (some primary K-feldspar and plagioclase was retained)
and the abundances of phengite, chlorite and pyrite were reduced. In contrast, epidote abundance increased
yet, despite this, CaO was net removed in most cases, indicating that loss from anorthitic plagioclase was still
more significant. The abundance of hematite also increased, often being developed as micro inclusions in
altered feldspars, thus, samples have an overall brownish-red colouration, peppered with green epidote,
as opposed to the pervasive dark green colour of more intensely altered examples. SiO2 demonstrates
overall immobility but Al2O3 was often slightly gained, implying that more Al was required to form the
chlorite-epidote-phengite assemblage than was liberated by feldspar-biotite destruction.

Moderate propylitic alteration


This subcategory of propylitic alteration, perhaps the most widespread at Northparkes, typically shows net
addition of MnO, C, H, Zn, Pb and volatiles/LOI (Fig. 3.5c). However, once again, the magnitude of these
gains was lower than in the other, more intense, propylitic facies (Figs. 3.5, 3.7). MgO may still have been
added but was often broadly immobile, with chlorite limited to in situ replacement of biotite and other
mafic minerals. For many other elements, geochemical changes were frequently the inverse to those
evidenced in more intense propylitic alteration, and may be thought of as complementary. For example,
CaO, Na2O and SiO2, lost from areas of stronger propylitic alteration, appear to have been added back in
this facies as extensive albite, epidote and calcite were developed. Al2O3 was also gained in some examples.
Primary K-feldspar remained largely stable but, along with albite, took on a bright cherry-red colouration
owing to the incorporation of abundant disseminated hematite. However, K2O, along with Rb, was often
slightly lost overall, reflecting the chloritisation of biotite and lack of significant phengite. S was no longer
added and pyrite was not developed as part of the assemblage.

3.5.4 Sericitic alteration/veins
The sericitic veins comprise centres of quartz
and/or anhydrite ± pyrite ± chalcopyrite ±
molybdenite ± magnetite and occur in relation to
syn- and late-mineralisation QMP bodies at E26 and
GRP314, where they both cut, and are cut by,
potassic and propylitic veins. Alteration halos
developed around the sericitic veins display a
distinct zonation in the alteration mineral
assemblage. For veins located outside the potassic
facies of the deposits, this zonation grades outward
from intense vein-proximal, texturally-destructive
grey quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration into a weak,
spatially restricted fringe of vein-distal epidote-
chlorite-hematite alteration (see section 2.6.6).
Mass balance calculations quantify the changes
which occur (Fig. 3.6), and show the distribution of
elements throughout these alteration halos (Fig.
3.8).

The net geochemical changes associated with


intense, vein-proximal, quartz-sericite-pyrite
alteration (Fig. 3.6a) were in many ways similar to
those associated with K-feldspar-dominated
potassic alteration (Fig. 3.4a). The concentrations of
SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, S, volatiles/LOI, Rb, Cu, Au and Mo
were increased, whereas Fe2O3, Na2O, CaO, MgO,

MnO, Sr and Ba were consistently lost. Pb, Zn and V remained broadly immobile or were slightly lost.
Formation of the major quartz-sericite-pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± molybdenite assemblage was the clear
driver of this alteration, requiring metasomatic addition of the essential major components: SiO2, Al2O3,
K2O, S, Cu, Mo and volatiles/LOI. Minor Rb could have been readily incorporated into this assemblage by
substitution for K, and minor Au could have been accommodated within pyrite (e.g. Gregory et al., 2015)
and/or perhaps as fine native inclusions throughout the assemblage. Destruction of all other minerals,
largely feldspar, magnetite and biotite, may account for the observed loss of other elements.

With increasing distance from veins, sericite became phengitic and was accompanied by chlorite and
eventually epidote, and the abundances of pyrite and quartz were reduced. These changes were reflected
by a systematic decrease in the net addition of SiO2, K2O, S, LOI and Rb, meanwhile elements that were
leached during intense sericitisation - Fe2O3 MgO and MnO - were added, effectively having been mobilised
outwards (Fig. 3.6b-c, Fig. 3.8). Evidently, Cu, Zn and Pb complexes were rapidly destabilised during this
progression from intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration to phengitic sericite-chlorite alteration, with
significant net gain of these elements occurring in the latter, and resulting in the formation of a
pronounced geochemical halo (Fig. 3.8f,n,p). Such similar behaviour of these metals perhaps suggests they
were complexed by the same ligand (likely Cl-); in contrast, the behaviour of Mo was independent, with Mo
concentrations simply decreasing away from veins (Fig. 3.8h). CaO, Sr, Ba and V continued to be lost
throughout this transitional sericite-chlorite domain as feldspars were still destroyed and these elements
could not be readily accommodated in either chlorite or sericite.

The spatially-restricted assemblage of epidote-chlorite-hematite, formed as an outermost fringe to the


sericitic veins, resulted from the net gain of previously leached CaO, Sr, Ba and V, along with continued
addition of Fe2O3, MgO, Al2O3, S, volatiles/LOI, Cu and Zn (Figs. 3.6d, 3.8). C was also added within this
domain as calcite was precipitated. SiO2 was typically broadly conserved. Conversely, K2O and Na2O were
slightly lost, probably reflecting their inability to easily substitute into epidote, or the other major phases
formed in this zone, during continued replacement of feldspar. Several of these geochemical changes are
similar to those which occurred during general, deposit-peripheral propylitic alteration, with the notable
exception that Cu was consistently net added to a significantly greater extent than Zn. The transition from
sericite-chlorite through to epidote-chlorite-hematite domains is also chemically similar to the progression
from the most intense to least intense propylitic facies (c.f. Figs. 3.7 and 3.8). Further, it was noted above
that the intense, vein-proximal quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration is markedly similar in its geochemical
effects to the deposit-central K-feldspar-dominated potassic facies. These observations strongly suggest
that there is a complete geochemical and mineralogical continuum between potassic, sericitic and
propylitic alteration.

86
3.6 D ISCUSSION : GEOCHEMICAL DISPERSION WITHIN PORPHYRY SYSTEMS
Given the broadly concentric spatial relationship
between the potassic and propylitic alteration
zones at Northparkes, gains and losses within each
of these facies effectively represent the
geochemical dispersion of elements throughout
the magmatic-hydrothermal system during the
early, and mineralising, stages of its evolution (Fig.
3.9).

3.6.1 Dispersion profiles


Overall, the trend was from mass gain in K-feldspar-
dominated potassic alteration, through to broadly
mass-conservative propylitic alteration (Fig. 3.9b).
This was accompanied by a smooth reduction in
the net addition of S, K2O and Al2O3 (Fig. 3.9d-g)
with distance from intrusive centres. Behaviour of
SiO2 was similar, except during intense propylitic
alteration, when relatively mafic chlorite and
epidote replaced more felsic, feldspar-quartz-
dominated assemblages, resulting in slight net loss
(Fig. 3.9c). The magnitude of net Cu, Au, Mo and Se
addition decreased rapidly with distance (Fig.
3.9f,h,j). In contrast, MnO, Zn, Pb and C display a
pronounced halo, with maximum enrichment
having occurred ~1-2 km from deposit centres (Fig.
3.9n,p,q,s). With the exception of locally minor
quantities of MnO and SiO2, none of these elements

87
were lost during alteration and therefore must have been present in the alteration fluid at its source.
Consequently, the systematic zonation observed must reflect gradually changing physicochemical
conditions and hence the solubility of key mineral phases and the stability of the aqueous complexes
formed by these elements.

Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, As and Co were leached from country rocks during potassic alteration and were gained
during propylitic alteration (Fig. 3.9k,m,o,r,t), suggesting they were simply mobilised outwards. However,
the volume of potassically-altered rock was relatively small compared to the volume of propylitically
altered rock in which these elements were gained, and the magnitude of these gains was either equal to,
or greater than, the magnitude of earlier losses. Hence, at least some Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, As and Co must also
have been contributed by the alteration fluid.

Na2O, Sr and Rb were variably mobilised (Fig. 3.9i,l), with changes appearing to reflect the stable mineral
assemblage. Sr seems to have been controlled entirely by feldspar, its removal directly correlated to the
observed extent of feldspar destruction. Na2O was initially slightly gained during magnetite-dominated
potassic alteration, likely resulting from substitution into sericite and biotite. It was then lost during intense
propylitic alteration, having been mobilised outwards into peripheral, weaker propylitic alteration where
it was incorporated during extensive albitisation. Rb was controlled entirely by its substitution for K in
various minerals.

3.6.2 Physicochemical considerations


The observed geochemical dispersion profiles are best considered as a function of the initial element
budget of the alteration fluid, the mineralogy of country rocks and the changing physicochemical
conditions during fluid-rock interaction.

With increasing distance from porphyry centres and zones of fracture-focused fluid flow, temperature is
expected to have decreased. For original, magmatic-derived ore fluids, rich in dissolved SO2, such cooling
would naturally have led to the increased dissociation of H2SO4 and hence may have lowered fluid pH
before eventual buffering and neutralisation with country rock (e.g. Giggenbach, 1992; Rye, 1993). Rapid
outwards progression from bornite to chalcopyrite to pyrite, together with a reduction in the overall
abundance of sulphides with distance from a porphyry centre, must also reflect a decrease in S2 (Einaudi
et al., 2003). Changes in O2 are unconstrained and, as highlighted by Meyer and Hemley (1967), there is
an intricate, variably interdependent relationship between O2, S2, pH and therefore temperature. The
presence of anhydrite in deposit centres and the abundance of disseminated magnetite, hematite and
epidote attests to moderate to highly oxidising conditions throughout the Northparkes system, although
the precipitation of such minerals could have progressively reduced the O2 of the alteration fluid. The
transition from Fe sulphides to Fe oxide minerals outwards therefore probably reflected a systematic
decrease in fluid S2, as any reduction in O2 would not have favoured oxide formation.

88
Pressure fluctuations in the system could have been large if (supra)lithostatically pressured magmatic
fluid(s) escaped directly into shallow crustal levels where hydrostatic pressure conditions predominated.
Although sudden pressure reduction may aid the rapid precipitation of quartz in stockwork veins, the
pressure sensitivity of most minerals is negligible compared to temperature dependency, and it is unlikely
that pressure was a significant control over the alteration mineral zones developed (e.g. Hemley et al., 1986;
Rimstidt, 1997; Seward and Barnes, 1997; Mercer and Reed, 2013; Seward et al., 2014).

Based on thermodynamic modelling, Reed et al. (2013) demonstrated how, as a consequence of cooling,
fluid-rock interaction and concomitant pH changes, a singular magmatic-derived fluid may generate each
of the potassic, sericitic, propylitic and argillic alteration facies. Although developed for the Butte porphyry
Cu-Mo deposit, Montana, such a model is perhaps the simplest explanation for the observed mineralogical
and element net transfer patterns observed at Northparkes, which define a continuum between all
alteration types. Here, it is envisaged that the entire alteration system around each porphyry intrusive
centre was driven by a magmatic-derived ore fluid during its upwards and outwards infiltration into the
country rock sequence.

3.6.3 Fluid evolution


At its source, the fluid must have contained in solution: Na, K, Al, Si, Mg, Mn, Cu, Au, Mo, Zn, Pb, Se, W, Ga
and Rb along with S, C and appropriate ligands, Cl- being perhaps the most important for transport of
monovalent and divalent metal cations (e.g. Seward and Barnes, 1997; Seward et al., 2014). Initial high
temperatures and significant levels of dissolved Si, K, S and Al drove formation of a quartz, K-feldspar,
biotite and sulphide assemblage. This assemblage also incorporated minor Se (likely within sulphides, e.g.
Minkin et al., 1984; Auclair et al., 1987), W (likely within biotite, e.g. Simon, 1972; Bouton et al., 1987) and
Rb and Ga (likely within K-feldspar and biotite, e.g. Goldsmith, 1950; Mason, 1972; Timofeev and Williams-
Jones, 2015). Anhydrite, being least soluble in high temperature environments (Blounot and Dickson, 1969)
and, given suitable O2 conditions and Ca activity, may have been an additional coexisting precipitate. The
lower stability of Cu, Au and Mo complexes compared to Mn, Zn and Pb complexes (e.g. Seward and Barnes,
1997; Corbett and Leach, 1998) resulted in auriferous Cu-sulphide formation with minor molybdenite,
while Mn, Zn and Pb complexes remained stable and did not partake in alteration reactions. Depending on
which minerals were destroyed, and the extent of destruction, the concentration of Fe, Ca, Mn, As and Co
may have been increased in the fluid. For example, liberation of Ca during the conversion of anorthitic
plagioclase to K-feldspar:

CaAl Si O 2K 4Si → 2KAlSi O Ca (3.8)


Anorthitic K-feldspar
plagioclase

Thus, by a combination of direct precipitation and replacement reactions, the fluid was progressively
depleted in Si, K, S, Al, Cu, Au and Mo, and variously enriched in Fe, Ca, Mn, As and Co as it cooled and its

89
pH began to decrease. Eventually, K-feldspar was no longer a stable alteration mineral and the abundance
of Cu-sulphides rapidly decreased. Rather, magnetite was the most stable alteration phase, although
biotite may still have been intergrown with it. In markedly felsic rocks, such as trachytic volcanic breccias,
some magnetite ± biotite must also have been directly precipitated from the fluid into available pore space
and fractures, resulting in net Fe and Mg addition to the rock. In other lithologies, magnetite ± biotite may
have been developed by replacement of primary mafic grains, broadly conserving Fe, for example
replacement of hornblende:

Ca Mg Fe Al, Si O OH K Mg
Hornblende (3.9)
→ Fe O KMg Al, Si O OH 4SiO 2Ca
Mag. Biotite Quartz

The concentration of K, Al, Si and Na in the fluid was further lowered by the formation of minor sericite and
quartz in the magnetite ± biotite facies. Often these minerals replaced plagioclase and K-feldspar, assisted
by the slightly acidic fluid pH. For example, assuming simplified end-member feldspars and sericite of
muscovite composition with only Na substitution:

6KAlSi O 4H → KNaAl Al Si O OH 12SiO 5K (3.10)


K-feldspar Sericite Quartz

3CaAl Si O 4H K Na → KNaAl Al Si O OH 3Ca (3.11)


Anorthitic Sericite
plagioclase
3NaAlSi O 4H K 3Al
Albitic (3.12)
plagioclase
→ KNaAl Al Si O OH 2Na 3Si
Sericite

Similarly, surplus S remaining after Cu (and Mo) sulphide deposition may have been utilised to develop
disseminated pyrite, which incorporated As and Co (e.g. Large et al., 2009; Gregory et al., 2015). Ca- and Sr-
bearing phases were evidently soluble under the conditions extant in the magnetite ± biotite zone, such
that these elements were fluxed through it, and even added to the fluid via further plagioclase dissolution
(e.g. Eq. 3.11). Mn, Zn and Pb complexes must have largely remained in solution and again were mostly
fluxed through the magnetite ± biotite zone.

This evolution produced an alteration fluid easily capable of driving propylitic alteration: it was now mildly
acidic and enriched in Ca and Fe, while initial Mg, Mn, Zn, Pb and C were still present in solution along with
remaining minor S, K, Cu and As. With continued cooling this fluid initially produced chlorite and phengitic
sericite, with minor epidote, pyrite and rare chalcopyrite, at the expense of all feldspars and mafic minerals,
largely magnetite and biotite. Replacement of minerals such as plagioclase with sericite (Eq. 3.12) and
chlorite (Eq. 3.13) may have consumed quartz and/or liberated Si into solution, accounting for the localised
net Si loss observed. Further, several such reactions of this form, also including simple chloritisation of

90
biotite (Eq. 3.14) can involve consumption of H+ and therefore could have rapidly neutralised remaining
fluid acidity.

Chlorite

2KMg AlSi O OH 4H
Biotite (3.14)
→ Mg Al AlSi O OH 2K Mg 3SiO
Chlorite Quartz

Mn, Zn and Pb were significantly net added to the rock at this point, some Zn and Pb formed minor
sphalerite and galena, but Mn, Zn and Pb were also accommodated to high concentrations in the major
silicate mineral assemblage, particularly within chlorite, epidote and sericite (Chapter 4). The relatively
rapid loss of Mn, Zn and Pb from the fluid was probably a result of both continued cooling and pH
neutralisation, such processes may rapidly destabilise the chloride complexes of these metals (e.g. Hemley
et al., 1992; Hemley and Hunt, 1992; Seward and Barnes, 1997; Kouzmanov and Pokrovski, 2012).

The concentrations of K and Al in solution were now finally in broad equilibrium with the rock, such that
they were no longer metasomatically added or lost. Meanwhile, the concentrations of several more minor
solutes, particularly Cu and As, were much reduced, having been effectively scavenged into
pyrite/chalcopyrite. Indeed, provided enough sulphur was available, such elements could have been
entirely removed from the fluid phase (e.g. Audétat et al., 2000; Stoffell et al., 2004). However, the fluid still
contained Ca, which may have been mostly liberated by reactions until this point (e.g. Eqs. 3.8, 3.9, 3.11,
3.13), along with Fe, Mg and much initial C as major solutes. Thus, yet further cooling (probably to ≤425oC;
Beane and Titley, 1981), of this now broadly neutral fluid stabilised the formation of epidote and calcite
alongside chlorite and hematite. Primary K-feldspar was no longer significantly altered, chlorite was mostly
restricted to replacement of primary mafic phases (e.g. Eq. 3.14) and most epidote and calcite was
developed at the expense of plagioclase, for example:

6NaAlSi O H O HCO 7Ca 3Fe


Albitic (3.15)
plagioclase
→ 3Ca FeAl Si O OH 5SiO CaCO 4Si 6Na
Epidote Quartz Calcite

Still, such plagioclase destruction may continue to liberate Na and Sr, such that final equilibration of the
fluid with the country rock was marked by simple albitisation with hematite reddening. This process may
explain why Sr is mobilised to the periphery of the propylitic halo around porphyry deposits, and hence
the distal increase in the Sr concentration recorded in chlorite around the Batu Hijau deposit (Wilkinson et
al., 2015).

91
Fluids within the sericitic veins
The alteration zonation around the sericitic veins may also be explained in a similar fashion. Here, the
intensity and abundance of sericite in the vein-proximal alteration halo attests to a fluid of particularly low
pH, again probably owing to the dissociation of contained acidic species such as H2SO4 and HCl. It is
therefore envisaged as a relatively cool, late-stage magmatic fluid that was focussed into discrete fractures.
The intense, vein-proximal quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration assemblage reflects acid neutralisation
reactions at high fluid:rock ratios (e.g. Eqs. 3.10-3.12), during which quartz and sulphides were precipitated.
Such processes naturally lowered the concentration of K, Si and S in the fluid, however, as all feldspars and
mafic minerals were destroyed, Ca, Fe, Mg and Na were leached. Thus, upon continued outward cooling
and neutralisation toward lower fluid:rock ratios, chlorite and eventually epidote and hematite were once
again stabilised and these solutes reprecipitated. Sulphides were stable within the sericitic veins,
evidenced by the presence of molybdenite, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite in both the centre and quartz-
sericite-pyrite altered margins of the veins. However, the majority of Cu, together with Zn and Pb, was net
added in the slightly more vein-distal sericite-chlorite subzone, strongly suggesting that pH neutralisation,
rather than temperature decrease, was largely responsible for the rapid destabilisation of their aqueous
complexes.

3.7 C ONCLUSIONS
Mass balance calculations for potassic, propylitic and sericitic alteration facies at Northparkes have
rigorously quantified the transfer of elements during fluid-rock interaction. The REE, along with P, Ti, Cs,
Sn, Bi, Sb and Te remained broadly immobile throughout all alteration zones. Hf, Ta, Nb and U were also
essentially immobile, but Zr demonstrates some mobility, with calculated gain or loss typically <30 ppm,
supported by the occurrence of propylitic, hydrothermal zircon.

Deposit-central, K-feldspar-dominated potassic alteration resulted in ~12% bulk mass gain, with net
addition of Si, Al, K, S, Cu, Mo, Au, Ga, W, Se, Rb, volatiles/LOI and C. In contrast, Mn, Co and, in most cases,
Fe and Ca were lost, while Mg, Zn, Pb and As remained mostly immobile. The annulus of magnetite ±
biotite-dominated potassic alteration developed around deposits similarly involved bulk mass gain (~8%)
with net addition of Si, Al, K, S, Cu, Au, Rb and volatiles/LOI. However, all such changes were to a lesser
extent than in the K-feldspar-dominated facies. Consistent, although variable, addition of Mn, Na, Ba, Zn,
Ga and As also occurred, but Mo, W and Se were not added. Fe and Mg either remained immobile or were
gained in this magnetite ± biotite domain, whereas Ca, Sr and Co may have been added or lost, with
changes in these elements appearing to have been controlled largely by host rock mineralogy. Deposit-
peripheral propylitic alteration was largely mass conservative and, in the most general sense, resulted in
net addition of Fe, Mg, Ca, C, volatiles/LOI, Mn, Zn and Pb along with minor S, Cu, As and Co, often
accompanied by loss of Si, K, Na, Sr and Rb.

92
The results demonstrate that propylitic alteration associated with the Northparkes porphyry ore deposits
was heterogeneous, involved extensive metasomatism and was clearly related to deposition of Mn, Zn and
frequently Pb. This domain was an essential component of the hydrothermal system, with metasomatic
changes complementary and often inverse to those in the potassic and sericitic facies. In light of these
results and similar, albeit more limited studies elsewhere (Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Derakhshani and
Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm et al., 2014), it no longer seems reasonable to regard propylitic alteration
as essentially isochemical (c.f. Meyer and Hemley, 1967). Rather, the term should, perhaps, be redefined to
acknowledge the potentially metasomatic nature of the many epidote-chlorite-dominated alteration
assemblages that it is routinely used to describe. Best practice would also qualify the use of the term
‘propylitic alteration’ with details of the abundance of all alteration minerals present, their mode of
occurrence (veins, pseudomorphs etc.) and alteration intensity. This is preferable to using older
terminology that emphasised separate propylitic subzones - chloritisation, epidotisation and albitisation –
which should not be regarded as distinct. In fact, such zones are intimately related to one another, with a
consistent spatial progression from domains of intense chloritisation with phengite and epidote out to
domains of weakest albite-epidote-chlorite alteration. These mineralogical changes also correspond to
systematic geochemical dispersion. At Northparkes, the most intense propylitic alteration records slight
bulk mass gain, with metasomatic addition of Fe, Mg, K, C, S, volatiles/LOI, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb and Rb, and loss
of Na, Sr and often Ca and Si. With progression to the weakest, mass conservative propylitic alteration, Na,
Sr, Ca and Si were typically added back to the rock and addition of other components was limited to Mn,
C, volatiles/LOI, Zn and Pb.

Around the distinct sericitic veins at Northparkes, quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration was, perhaps
unsurprisingly, associated with metasomatic addition of Si, Al, K, S and volatiles/LOI, with gain of Rb, Cu,
Au and Mo also observed. Fe, Mg, Na, Ca, Mn, Sr and Ba were consistently leached whereas Pb and Zn
remained broadly immobile. With increasing distance from these sericitic veins, addition of Si, Al, K and S
was reduced and Fe, Mg, Na, Ca, Mn, Sr and Ba were progressively less depleted until they were eventually
net added. A distinct halo of highly elevated Cu, Pb, Zn and Mn is formed immediately outside the zone of
most intense sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration. Such element redistribution reflects the outward
mineralogical transition from sericite to sericite-chlorite to epidote-chlorite observed around these veins.

There is a clear scale-independent mineralogical and geochemical continuum between potassic, sericitic and
propylitic alteration. With simple cooling and reduction in fluid S2, potassic alteration may transition directly
into propylitic alteration, alternatively, where significant fluid acidity was developed during cooling and,
particularly if both fluid flux and fluid:rock ratios were high, this transition may pass through an intermediate
zone of sericitic alteration. Consequently, all the alteration domains at Northparkes could potentially have
been generated by alteration fluid(s) from a singular source which infiltrated into the country rock sequence,
migrating away from magmatic/thermal centres and zones of focused fluid flow. Results show the fluid(s)
must have originally contained significant dissolved Na, K, Al, Si, Mg, Mn, Cu, Au, Mo, Zn, Pb, Se, W, Ga and Rb

93
together with S, C and appropriate ligands in order to account for the metasomatic additions observed within
the alteration halo. Therefore, fluid(s) were most likely of magmatic origin.

94
4. SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN CHLORITE AND EPIDOTE MINERAL
CHEMISTRY

4.1 I NTRODUCTION
Propylitic alteration is often the most ubiquitous and laterally extensive alteration facies in porphyry
magmatic-hydrothermal systems, as exemplified in the Northparkes district. In the current era, when
mineral exploration is increasingly focused on searching under cover, it may be the only visible sign of
hydrothermal activity. Consequently, exploration success could be greatly improved given the ability to:
(i) vector toward mineralised/hydrothermal centres within propylitically-altered terrain; and (ii)
differentiate propylitic alteration around ore deposits from the epidote-chlorite assemblages developed
during regional metamorphism or other non-mineralising processes. Measurement of several major and
trace elements in the dominant propylitic alteration minerals epidote and chlorite, to document their
concentrations and spatial dispersion, can provide such an ability.

Systematic spatial variations in the major element chemistry (Fe, Mg, Mn, Al) of chlorite developed around
sulphide orebodies have occasionally been documented, but historically received little attention. Price
(1953) noted an increasing Fe concentration in chlorite with distance from volcanogenic massive sulphide
orebodies in NW Quebec, Canada. This trend was similarly recorded by Ballantyne (1981) at the North Silver
Bell porphyry Cu deposit of Arizona, USA, but could not be proven in the nearby Safford deposit. However,
the Mn content of chlorite in both these porphyry systems was shown to systematically increase, then
decrease with outwards progression from orebodies across the propylitic alteration zone, producing a
chlorite-Mn halo. Norman et al. (1991) further documented distal Fe and Mn enrichment in chlorite from
the Southwest Tintic district, Utah, USA. In addition to such trends, the concentration of Al in the chlorite
tetrahedral site has been widely recognised as a useful geothermometer (e.g. Cathelineau and Nieva, 1985;
de Caritat et al., 1993).

As both chlorite and epidote can accommodate a large range of possible cations, the trace element
composition of both these minerals has significant potential to provide spatial compositional trends useful
for mineral exploration. With this in mind, Wilkinson et al. (2015) investigated the mineral chemistry of
chlorite across the propylitic zone at the Batu Hijau porphyry Cu-Au deposit, Indonesia, and Cooke et al.
(2014a) investigated variations in epidote chemistry surrounding porphyry and skarn occurrences of the
Baguio district, Philippines. Several trends in mineral chemistry were documented. Chlorite demonstrated
deposit-proximal elevated Ti, V and Mg contents, a halo of enrichment in Mn and Zn, and a distal increase
in the concentration of Sr, Li, Ba and Ca. Epidote typically contained highest concentrations of As, Pb, Zn
and Mn in more deposit-distal locations, >1.5 km from zones of potassic alteration.

95
However, all such studies have concentrated on only one mineral, largely ignored alteration textures and
did not consider any possible effects of the host lithology and mode of occurrence (e.g. replacement or
vein) over mineral composition. Moreover, spatial trends in the composition of epidote and chlorite are
not only useful for exploration, they record the behaviour and dispersion of many elements as a
consequence of changing physicochemical conditions across the propylitic facies. Understanding what
controls element dispersion within this facies is therefore the first step in determining the conditions under
which it occurs, and ultimately the source of the alteration fluid itself. It is also necessary to provide a
rationale for the routine use of particular elements in exploration.

In this chapter, spatial variation in the mineral chemistry of epidote and chlorite across the propylitic
alteration zones surrounding the E48 and E26 deposits is documented and compared to the regional, post-
mineralisation, metamorphic assemblage. To facilitate this, samples had to be collected over a wide area,
ranging from 300 m to 25 km distant from the porphyry orebodies. Examples of both vein and replacement
alteration displaying various textures and samples from several host lithologies have been analysed in
order to evaluate possible controls on mineral composition.

Major element compositions were determined by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive


spectroscopy (SEM-EDS; 7,026 analyses from 107 chlorite and 100 epidote samples). Minor and selected
trace element compositions were determined by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS; 1,660 accepted and filtered analyses from 64 chlorite and 59 epidote samples).
Numerous spatial compositional trends in both chlorite and epidote are defined which are of potentially
significant use in exploration; observed element distribution patterns also allow the major controls on
geochemical dispersion and mineralogical residence in the propylitic zone to be inferred.

4.2 C HLORITE AND EPIDOTE: STRUCTURE AND CHEMISTRY
4.2.1 Chlorite
Chlorite group minerals are monoclinic
phyllosilicates composed of alternating,
negatively charged tetrahedral-octahedral-
tetrahedral (2:1) layers, of ‘talc-like’ composition
[vi]
X3[iv]Y4O10(OH)2, and positively charged
interlayers of ‘brucite-like’ composition [vi]Z3(OH)6
(Fig. 4.1; e.g. Bailey, 1988). The majority can be
represented by:

[vi]
(M2+, M3+)6Si4-x[iv]Mx3+O10(OH)8

Most commonly, M2+ = Mg, Fe, Mn and M3+ = Al,


Fe, Cr (e.g. Hey, 1954; Foster, 1962). End-

dominant or unique octahedral cation, with
the major minerals being clinochlore [(Mg5Al)[AlSi3O10](OH)8] and chamosite [(Fe5Al)[AlSi3O10](OH)8],
between which there is a complete solid-solution series (Foster, 1962; Deer et al., 2009). Substitution of Mn
drives compositions toward pennantite [(Mn5Al)[AlSi3O10](OH)8], but true end-member pennantite is rare
and appears restricted to Mn ore deposits (Smith et al., 1946; Kayupova, 1965; Simmons et al., 1981). Other
appropriately-sized divalent cations, particularly Ni and Zn, may be readily incorporated into the M2+
octahedral site leading to the end-member minerals nimite [(Ni5Al)[AlSi3O10](OH)8] and baileychlore
[(Zn5Al)[AlSi3O10](OH)8] respectively. Trivalent V cations can also substitute for octahedral Al (Meunier,
1994), and tetrahedral Al may also be replaced by B and Be (Zagorsky et al., 2003).

Charge balancing between tetrahedral and octahedral sites in chlorite can occur by Tschermak exchange
([iv]Si4+ [vi]Mg2+ [iv]
Al3+ [vi]Al3+), which is a major substitution mechanism in the group (e.g. Deer et al.,
2009). As exemplified by cookeite [(LiAl4)[AlSi3O10](OH)8], larger monovalent cations such as Li, Na and K
may also play the role of octahedral cations and assist in charge balancing, although the dominant
exchange vector is thought to be 3(Li, Na, K)1+Al3+-1 and is therefore overall charge neutral (Černý, 1970).
Understanding the accommodation of these alkali metals, as well as other large divalent cations (e.g. Ca,
Sr, Ba and Pb) within the chlorite structure is particularly challenging, and it was originally proposed they
may occupy vacant octahedral sites between the 2:1 layers and ‘brucite’ interlayers (Belov, 1950). This
occupancy has been experimentally proven for Na in the chlorite mineral glagolevite
[Na(Mg,Al)6[Si3AlO10](OH,O)8] by Krivovichev et al. (2004). However, an earlier study of the chlorite-like
zincosilicate franklinfurnaceite [Ca2Fe3+Mn2+3Mn3+[Zn2Si2O10](OH)8] suggested that accommodation of
significant Ca between the 2:1 and ‘brucite’ layers in chlorite is rare, and is only possible in

97
franklinfurnaceite as a result of the unusual substitution of Zn2+ for Si4+ which produces a structure
intermediate between chlorite and mica (Peacor et al., 1988). Detection of such large cations may therefore
be interpreted as either genuine incorporation of the element into the crystal lattice, or as a result of fine
interstratification of chlorite with other contaminating layered silicates such as smectite or mica, below the
resolution of all but transmission electron microscopy (e.g. Ahn and Peacor, 1985).

4.2.2 Epidote
Epidote group minerals are calcium iron aluminium
sorosilicates belonging to the monoclinic system,
with the general formula:

(A1A2)(M1M2M3)[Si2O7][SiO4]O(OH)

Typically, A = Ca2+ and M = Al3+, Fe3+. This structural


interpretation of the epidote group was first
proposed by Ito (1950), with subsequent
confirmation (Belov and Rumanova, 1953; Ito et al.,
1954) and three-dimensional refinements (e.g.
Dollase, 1968, 1971) leading to the present
understanding. The monoclinic crystal structure is
produced by two types of continuous octahedral
chains parallel to [010] which contain the M cations
(Fig. 4.2). One chain is composed exclusively of
edge-sharing M2 octahedra, the other consists of
edge-sharing M1 octahedra to which M3 octahedra
Fig. 4.2 – Polyhedral structural model of epidote, with
are attached on opposite sides alternately along its numbered oxygens; modified from Franz and Liebscher
(2004), after Dollase (1968).
length, giving a zigzag pattern. These chains are
bridged in [100] and [001] by single SiO4 tetrahedra (T3O4) and corner-sharing Si2O7 tetrahedral pairs
(T1T2O7), in-between which are the large A1 and A2 sites. Hydrogen is associated with O10 of the M2
octahedron and is hydrogen bonded to O4 of the M1 octahedron.

The two most common end-members of the group are clinozoisite [Ca2Al3Si3O12(OH)] and true epidote
[Ca2Fe3+Al2Si3O12(OH)], with composition often simply expressed as the molar fraction (X) of epidote within
the clinozoisite-epidote solid solution series (e.g. Franz and Liebscher, 2004):

Fe
X (4.1)
Fe Al 2

A large number of potential exchange vectors are possible within the epidote group based on both direct
and combined substitution in the A and M sites. In addition to Fe3+, trivalent Mn, V and Cr as well as
octahedrally-coordinated divalent Mn, Fe and Mg may also directly substitute for Al. The cations Fe3+, Mn3+

98
and, by analogy, V3+ usually display a strong preference for the largest, distorted M3 site, although at high
total concentrations may also be accommodated in M1 (e.g. Dollase, 1969, 1973; Gabe et al., 1973; Kvick et
al., 1988; Ferraris et al., 1989). Similarly, divalent Fe, Mn and Mg also show preference for M3, but again
minor Fe2+ and Mg2+ can also occur in M1 (Dollase, 1971, 1973; Bonazzi et al., 1992). In contrast, Cr3+ is
thought to preferentially occupy M1 (Burns and Strens, 1967) and Al dominates in the smallest M2 position
(e.g. Dollase, 1971).

The trivalent Mn, V and Cr cations may rarely be present as major components in epidote, leading to the
respective end-members piemontite [Ca2Al2Mn3+Si3O12(OH)] (e.g. Kenngott, 1853; Dollase, 1969), mukhinite
[Ca2Al2V3+Si3O12(OH)] (Shepel and Karpenko, 1969) and tawmawite [Ca2Al2Cr3+Si3O12(OH)] (Grapes, 1981;
Treloar, 1987), although the validity of the latter is questioned by Armbruster et al. (2006). In all cases, the
mole fraction of epidote can be calculated by including the relevant element(s) in the denominator of
Equation 4.1.

Larger divalent cations, especially Sr, Ba and Pb, may often directly substitute for Ca in the largest A2 sites
(e.g. Dollase, 1971). However, the particularly large Ba2+ cation can only be accommodated in significant
quantities by further expansion of this site owing to the presence of Fe3+ and Mn3+ in M1 and M3 (Smith
and Bish, 1988; Franz and Liebscher, 2004). Rarely, Sr and Pb have been documented as major components
in epidote, producing the respective end-members clinozoisite-(Sr) or ‘niigataite’ [CaSrAl3Si3O12(OH)]
(Miyajima et al., 2003) and epidote-(Pb) or ‘hancockite’ [CaPbAl3Si3O12(OH)] (Penfield and Warren, 1899;
Holtstam and Langhof, 1994). Mn2+ may also substitute for Ca2+ but probably in the smaller A1 site (e.g.
Smith and Albee, 1967; Reinecke, 1986; Bonazzi et al., 1992; Bonazzi and Menchetti, 2004).

Likewise, the relatively large, trivalent REE cations are thought to be accommodated in the A2 site (Dollase,
1971), but other positions have been postulated (Cressey and Steel, 1988). To ensure charge balance,
incorporation of REE cations requires coupled substitution (or valence change in Fe), with divalent cations
also occupying the octahedral M3 and M1 sites, for example Ca2+-1Al3+-1REE3+(Mg2+,Fe2+,Mn2+), producing
minerals such as allanite [CaREEAl2Fe2+Si3O12(OH)] (e.g. Gieré and Sorensen, 2004; Armbruster et al., 2006).

Many additional trace elements may also be present in epidote, including but not limited to: Na, K, Ti, Zr,
Hf, Sn, Cu, Zn, Mo, Co, Ni, Sc, Be, W, Th and U. A review of where these elements potentially reside in the
epidote structure and the possible exchange vectors involved is beyond the scope of this chapter but is
provided by Frei et al. (2004).

Al-Fe zonation is common in epidote minerals as a consequence of changing physicochemical conditions


during growth. In the metamorphic environment, core-rim zonation is dominant, recording relatively
simple, gradual changes largely in pressure, temperature and redox conditions through time (e.g. Grapes
and Hoskin, 2004). In contrast, hydrothermal epidote, particularly that present in vein centres, is dominated
by oscillatory zoning (e.g. Bird and Spieler, 2004; this study), reflecting the much more dynamic
environment in which fluid chemistry and temperature may rapidly fluctuate back and forth. Furthermore,

99
in hydrothermal epidote, Mn and Ti may also show oscillatory zonation (Franz and Liebscher, 2004; this
study). In the most general sense, zones with low Fe/Al ratios contain higher concentrations of Mn; this
may reflect competition between Fe and Mn for the M3 site, but these changes are far from perfectly
correlated suggesting that several processes are responsible.

4.3 M ETHODOLOGY
4.3.1 Sample collection and preparation
Samples of epidote and/or chlorite were collected from logged diamond drill core to provide almost
continuous, and where possible sub-horizontal, transects across the propylitic alteration halo either side
of the E48 and E26 deposits (Figs. 4.3, 4.4). As propylitic alteration extends beyond the limit of diamond
drilling, several small samples (≤1 cm) were also collected from appropriate rock chip drillholes which
penetrated through surficial cover in the immediate vicinity of the deposits. The majority of sampling was
conducted below the level of the Altona Fault (e.g. Fig. 4.4) to ensure an undisturbed relationship between
alteration and mineralisation; thus samples are concentrated in the footwall, to the east of both deposits.
For comparison, samples of chlorite and epidote associated with post-mineralisation regional
metamorphism were also collected from district outcrops, largely to the south of the Northparkes Mines,
where its effect is most obvious.

From the resulting suite of >200 samples, 163 were selected for analysis (samples indicated in Appendix C)
based primarily on their spatial distribution. The most appropriate area (ideally containing abundant,
coarse grained epidote and chlorite) of each diamond drill core and outcrop sample was selectively cut out
and mounted into a 25 mm diameter, polished resin block. Rock chip samples were cut in two to provide
flat surfaces and similarly mounted for analysis.

4.3.2 Distinction of metamorphic samples


Metamorphism seems to have been strain partitioned away from the mining area, thought to be a result
of the underlying, rigid BQM pluton acting as a coherent crustal block (e.g. Scheibner, 1993). Consequently,
the deposits appear to have escaped any associated alteration and significant deformation - there is no
evidence to suggest alteration assemblages at Northparkes were overprinted or modified during
metamorphism. The field distinction between deposit-related propylitic alteration and regional
metamorphism in this district is therefore mostly straightforward: the magmatic-hydrothermal and
metamorphic domains are, for the most part, spatially separated and usually present unique and
contrasting characteristics.

The propylitic facies is typically heterogeneous and shows a close relationship to veins that are often
surrounded by intense and texturally-destructive alteration halos. Epidote of medium grain size (grains
visible under a 10x hand lens and occasionally to the naked eye) is abundant and pyrite is also common.
The surrounding rock is consistently hematite-reddened. K-feldspar, chalcopyrite and anhydrite (around
E26 and GRP314 only) may be present in minor quantities; prehnite and pumpellyite were not observed.

100
By comparison, the metamorphic assemblage is far more pervasive and homogeneous, dominated by
chlorite with prehnite, pumpellyite and, more rarely, fine-grained epidote; veins are infrequent. Although
significant epidote was documented occurring along a fault in the Nelungaloo Volcanics, no sulphides
were observed and no alteration halo surrounds the structure.

Based on these differences, samples NP13AP253 and NP13AP255 would be classified as metamorphic.
However, the latter is close to the ‘Nash’s Hill’ prospect and adjacent samples (NP13AP264, NP13AP265 and
NP13AP270) are classified as propylitic (Fig. 4.3). Hence, these two samples, although somewhat
ambiguous, were preliminary classified as propylitic.

4.3.3 Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS)
Prepared samples were initially viewed under SEM using back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging and
analysed where appropriate via SEM-EDS. This was carried out using a Zeiss EVO 15LS SEM equipped with
an Oxford Instruments X-MaxN 80 mm2 silicone drift detector, housed in the Imaging and Analysis Centre
(IAC) at the Natural History Museum, London. This instrument was optimised for EDS analysis of silicates
with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV, 3 nA current and 1 μm spot size; all EDS spectra were acquired for 25
seconds. Repeat analyses of the Kakanui augite standard (Jarosewich et al., 1980) were performed
throughout SEM-EDS analytical work; the mean determined composition of this standard is in good
agreement with preferred published values (Table 4.1). Repeat analyses also permitted quantification of
analytical precision (2σ) for most elements, as given in Table 4.1, along with representative limit of
detection (LOD) values.

Use of a SEM was essential in order to confirm the presence of alteration minerals identified in hand
specimen, obtain major element mineral chemistry data, observe alteration textures and check the
suitability of samples for subsequent analysis via LA-ICP-MS. In several samples, particularly those of
regionally metamorphosed rocks, epidote and chlorite were either not present (often mistaken for
prehnite and/or pumpellyite), exceptionally fine grained (<10 μm), or so intricately intergrown with other
phases or one another that reliable quantitative analysis was not possible. Consequently, the number of
samples was reduced to 125 containing either epidote and/or chlorite for which alteration texture could
be examined and numerous EDS spectra acquired (Fig. 4.3).

Sample suitability for LA-ICP-MS analysis was determined largely by grain size and the presence of
inclusions of other mineral phases visible in SEM-BSE images. Samples were selected when they contained
an adequate quantity of epidote and/or chlorite grains (preferably >25) of sufficiently large size and low
enough inclusion density to facilitate uncontaminated analysis with a 30-35 μm laser ablation spot. In these
samples, the location of suitable mineral grains was referenced and each analysed by SEM-EDS.
Compositional values for Al and Ca from these analyses were subsequently used as an internal standard to
aid quantification of LA-ICP-MS data for chlorite and epidote respectively; these elements were chosen as

103
they are consistently and reliably determined (precision of 1.8% and 1.1% relative standard deviation
respectively, based on replicate analysis of the Kakanui augite standard) and exhibit negligible variation
within any given grain.

Ultimately, major element SEM-EDS data were acquired for 3,213 chlorite grains (from 108 of 125 samples)
and 3,856 epidote grains (from 100 of 125 samples). A total of 64 samples contained chlorite, and 59
contained epidote suitable for LA-ICP-MS analysis.

4.3.4 Laser ablation inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)


LA-ICP-MS analysis of selected elements was conducted on an ESI New Wave NWR193 laser ablation system
coupled to an Agilent 7500cs quadrupole ICP-MS at the Natural History Museum, London. The system
utilised an excimer (ArF) laser source of 193 nm (deep UV) wavelength, and ablation was typically
performed with a 30-35 μm spot at a repetition rate of 10 Hz and fluence of 3.3 J/cm2. He was used as the
laser carrier gas and mixed with Ar along its flow path to the plasma torch.

Epidote or chlorite were analysed separately, each for a particular set of elements selected based on their
potential for substitution into the crystal lattice, abundance in the hydrothermal system or sensitivity to
inclusions/contaminant phases (Table 4.2). ICP-MS dwell times for each element were adjusted to help
provide appropriate detection limits. However, the LOD during LA-ICP-MS is variable for each spot analysis
(e.g. Longerich et al., 1996) and depends on several parameters, including the concentration and variability
of a given element in the gas background (i.e. when no ablation is occurring) and the quantity of material
ablated (i.e. spot size). Average LOD values and ICP-MS dwell times of elements analysed in epidote and
chlorite are provided in Table 4.2.

Analysis of each mineral in each sample was performed as a discrete run, bracketed either side by four
analyses of the external glass standard NIST 612 (National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard
Reference Material 612). This standard was used to calibrate the instrument and correct for linear
instrument drift by correlating measured element intensity, in counts per second, with known
concentration. Similarly, the known abundance of Al in chlorite and Ca in epidote, from SEM-EDS, was
further used to correct for the differing physical properties and ablation characteristics of these minerals
compared to NIST 612. The United States Geological Survey reference glass GSD-1G was also analysed 1-2
times at the beginning and end of each run and quantified in the same way as for the minerals in order to
constrain instrumental accuracy and precision (Table 4.2). The preferred concentration values of elements
in both NIST 612 and GSD-1G were sourced from the GeoReM database (Jochum et al., 2005).

Table 4.2 – List of elements analysed during laser ablation of chlorite and epidote with average limit of detection (LOD)
values and the ICP-MS dwell times used. Mean GSD-1G compositions are based on repeat analyses of the GSD-1G reference
glass, utilising the appropriate chlorite or epidote acquisition method. The variance for each element in these repeat
analyses is quantified as 2 standard deviations (2σ), and also given as a relative % of the determined concentration.
Preferred reference values for GSD-1G from the GeoReM database (Jochum et al., 2005) are also provided for comparison;

105
It is apparent that NIST 612 is particularly suitable for quantification of selected trace elements: Li, B, Na, V,
Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo, Ag, Sn, Sb, Ba, La, Ce, Eu, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Au, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th and U (Table
4.2). The average concentrations determined for all these trace elements in the GSD-1G reference material
are accurate, either matching known abundances within two standard deviation error or typically no more
than 5 ppm outside of this range. Precision is also good, with relative 2 standard deviation values averaging
<7 %. This is largely because element concentrations within NIST 612 are comparable to those of the
minerals and GSD-1G. However, NIST 612 contains low concentrations of the major elements analysed (Mg,
Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti and Fe). Perhaps most significant are Fe and Mg at 56 and 77 ppm respectively; this is in sharp
contrast to chlorite or epidote in which these elements are present at concentrations of 10’s to 100’s of
thousands of ppm. Consequently, correlation between the measured intensity of major elements in NIST
612 with their far higher intensities during ablation of minerals leads to notable error in their determination
via LA-ICP-MS. This is broadly expressed by a systematic under- or over-estimation of element
concentration, but precision error is also increased. Errors are most significant where the difference in
concentration of an element between NIST 612 and that of the mineral is largest, hence this has most effect
on reported Fe values and least effect on Ti. As a result, SEM-EDS major element data are preferred,
supplemented by trace element data from LA-ICP-MS.

Although LA-ICP-MS analysis was performed on grains previously selected as suitable via SEM, frequently
sub-surface inclusions were encountered during ablation which often contaminated analyses such that no
part of the ablation signal was quantifiable. To mitigate against this, and ensure several valid signals were
obtained in each sample, the detected intensity of elements sensitive to the composition of common
mineral inclusions (e.g. titanite, zircon, apatite, micas etc.) were monitored during ablation/acquisition of
each spot. Where significant contamination was evident the signal was immediately discarded and
overwritten.

In total 1,470 ablation signals were obtained from 64 chlorite samples, and 1,249 ablation signals were
obtained from 59 epidote samples, giving an average of 22 spot analyses in each mineral sample. 300
analyses of GSD-1G were also conducted.

Data reduction
The processing and quantification of all acquired ablation signals was performed using the ExLAM 2000
software of Zacharias and Wilkinson (2007). In this method, each ablation signal is viewed in full, with
manual selection of the ablation time slices (equivalent to sweeps of the mass spectrometer) for the gas
background and mineral ablation intervals. For mineral ablation, only intervals of regular, smooth signal
with low intensities of elements associated with inclusions were selected, as these should correspond to
the ablation of clean, uncontaminated mineral. The number of ablation time slices integrated for each
processed signal was recorded, along with a written comment on the quality of the signal, allowing quality
ranking of processed data. An average of 60 ablation time slices were integrated for chlorite analyses and

106
29 for epidote analyses. The lower average for epidote reflects generally poorer ablation signals, largely as
a result of smaller crystals, frequent minor inclusions and internal zonation which leads to irregular signals
that are harder to process. Further, in many instances, despite initial screening of contamination during
acquisition, the entire signal may be unusable.

Data filtering and quality control


Subsequent to data processing, all quantified signals were filtered to further ensure data quality. Analyses
in which the concentration of two or more elements significantly differed (typically >2σ) from a sample
average were discarded, with a preference to retain the highest quality ranked signals. The entire epidote
and chlorite datasets were then screened for possible contamination. Samples with concentrations of any
element higher or lower than natural breaks defined by the bulk of the data were further investigated for
element correlations indicative of common mineral inclusions. For example, any data with anomalously
high K, Zr or Ti may be contaminated and should contain positive correlations with Mg, U/Yb or Ca/Si
respectively if phengite/biotite, zircon or titanite were present. High Ca in chlorite is also indicative of either
calcite and/or epidote contamination.

Although analyses identified as contaminated were mostly discarded, some exceptions were made.
Chlorite in sample NP13AP170 shows elevated and correlated K and Ba concentrations, which may indicate
K-feldspar contamination, however no other elements are anomalous or correlated with K or Ba,
suggesting any effect is limited to these elements. Thus, to avoid losing the sample from the database, it
has been retained, but values for these elements are not used in any interpretation. Similarly, for chlorite,
only Sr in sample NP13AP016 and Ba in sample NP13AP180 are anomalous and hence the sample data for
other elements is retained. For epidote, both regional metamorphic samples (NP13AP258 and 318) appear
as outliers within the overall dataset, but no element correlations exist to suggest contamination, and
ablation signals for NP13AP318 appear to be of excellent quality. Hence, they probably only appear as
outliers owing to their distinctly different paragenesis (see section 4.5).

In total, 924 chlorite analyses and 736 epidote analyses were retained from the initial acquired dataset,
representing a quality control rejection rate of 37% and 41% respectively.

4.4 C HLORITE RESULTS
Sample information, SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS compositional data are tabulated in Appendices C, F and H
respectively. Results are presented graphically in the following sections.

4.4.1 Chlorite alteration textures


Three dominant types of chlorite, all of which may be found within one sample, were distinguished based
on observed textures in SEM-BSE images.

Massive chlorite aggregates


The majority of chlorite is present as massive aggregates of micron to sub-micron grains, giving a fine,
shreddy appearance (Fig. 4.5a-c). This texture is most typical of chlorite which has replaced primary
minerals (typically excluding biotite), but it is also found as vein fill and may be developed as patches in
chloritised, fine-grained sedimentary/volcaniclastic rocks. Such chlorite aggregates are surprisingly pure
and routinely provided uncontaminated analyses with excellent smooth and consistent ablation signals.
However, in some samples, small grains of rutile, titanite and/or zircon may be peppered throughout the
chlorite. Similarly, in areas of most intense chloritisation, where both plagioclase and K-feldspar have been
destroyed, chlorite grains may be finely intergrown with phengite. Frequently, subhedral to euhedral
epidote and apatite crystals occur within aggregated patches of chlorite (Fig. 4.5a).

Chlorite pseudomorphs after biotite


Chloritisation of biotite is particularly common and is prevalent within samples of the BQM. Each original
biotite crystal is usually entirely replaced by a single, large, chlorite grain that preserves the original crystal
outline and cleavage planes (Fig. 4.5c-e). The latter may simply be voids/fissures within the chlorite, but
more often they are filled with rutile or epidote (Fig. 4.5d-e). Notably, all observed chlorite pseudomorphs
were rich in small (<2 μm) rutile and, more rarely, titanite inclusions, making ablation via LA-ICP-MS
particularly challenging. Comparatively larger (5-25 μm) and consistently euhedral apatite crystals are also
common within the chlorite pseudomorphs. Apatite and titanite inclusions presumably reflect the original
relatively high concentrations of P and Ti in igneous biotite which could not all be accommodated within
the chlorite structure during replacement.

Singular grains
Rarely, large subhedral to euhedral crystals (5-50 μm), or patches (10-500 μm) of clean, pure chlorite were
documented as vein fill (Fig. 4.5f). Pyrite, epidote, quartz and calcite are also present in such veins.

cleavage, NP12AP111; (f) large singular, clean grains of chlorite present as vein fill along with pyrite. A fine

109
4.4.2 Chlorite mineral chemistry
Based on the calculated atomic abundances of Fe, Mg and Mn per formula unit (Appendix F), the chlorite
analysed is almost exclusively clinochlore (Fig. 4.6a). Fe/(Fe + Mg) ratios are typically in the range 0.3-0.4
with Si largely between 2.8-3.2 atoms per formula unit (apfu). Thus, most analyses are further classified as
pycnochlorite utilising the scheme of Hey (1954). An average formula for samples from deposit-related
propylitic alteration is (Mg2.91Fe1.66Mn0.13Al1.22)[(Al1.09Si2.91)O10](OH)8 and for regional metamorphic samples is
(Mg2.77Fe1.89Mn0.07Al1.17)[(Al1.04Si2.96)O10](OH)8, using 2,870 and 343 SEM-EDS analyses respectively. These
calculations assume all Fe is Fe2+ and are based on 28 oxygen equivalents per formula unit. Note that
although Fe2+/Fe3+ cannot be directly measured through SEM-EDS or LA-ICP-MS, estimates of Fe3+ and Fe2+
in chlorite can be calculated based on stoichiometry (Appendix F) and indicate Fe3+ rarely exceeds 0.1 apfu
in all samples, with an average of 0.07 apfu.

All samples demonstrate an excellent negative correlation between Si and Al (Fig. 4.6b) attributable to the
variable substitution of these cations for one another. Similarly, a strong negative correlation exists
between Fe + Mg and Mn, although many samples plot slightly below the obvious linear correlation (Fig.
4.6c), indicating the presence of other cations in the M2+ octahedral site below detection of SEM-EDS. It is
further evident that an increase in the Mn content of chlorite is broadly associated with an increase in the
Fe/Mg ratio and this relationship may be linear within particular samples/host lithologies (Fig. 4.6d). This
perhaps suggests Mn preferentially substitutes for Mg, or an increased Fe content favours incorporation of
Mn over Mg, or vice versa.

Total Fe + Mg + Mn is negatively correlated with Si + Al (Fig. 4.6e) reflecting the overall limit of cations
which can be accommodated per formula unit. Individually, increasing total Al (and thereby decreasing Si)
is associated with a general reduction in Mg (Fig. 4.6f) but simultaneous increase in Fe (Fig. 4.6g) and the
amount of Mn (Fig. 4.6h) which can be incorporated into the structure, demonstrating the complex
interplay between all major cations.

The Ti content of chlorite, as determined by LA-ICP-MS, shows a positive logarithmic correlation with
calculated tetrahedral Al (Fig. 4.6i; R2 = 0.5) and thereby simultaneous negative correlation with Si (Fig. 4.6j;
R2 = 0.5). Most simply this suggests Ti3+ is also directly substituting for Si4+.

The concentrations of Na and K are typically <200 ppm and <500 ppm, averaging 100 ppm and 200 ppm
respectively. Cr, Ag and Bi are almost exclusively <LOD. La, Ce and U are <LOD in many analyses; where
detected, they are typically <0.2 ppm averaging 0.1 ppm. Y, Zr and Sn are usually above the LOD but have
very low concentrations, with Y mostly <1.5 ppm and averaging 0.4 ppm, Zr <2 ppm averaging 0.9 ppm
and Sn <2 ppm averaging 1 ppm. None of these elements demonstrate systematic spatial variation in their
concentrations or significant differences between propylitic and metamorphic epidote samples, hence
they are not discussed further.

111
4.4.3 Lithological and textural controls on chlorite mineral chemistry
It is evident that the major element composition of chlorite is not exclusive to the host lithology in which
it was developed: chlorite samples from all key rock types are observed throughout the entire spread of
the data (Fig. 4.6). In an ideal scenario, to further evaluate the possible influence of host rock on chlorite
chemistry, chlorite hosted in different lithologies, but otherwise of the same characteristics and spatial
position would be directly compared. However, in this natural dataset such an approach was not possible,
as various host rocks are only found in particular locations, and not all chlorite textures are developed in
all host rocks. Nevertheless, it is still useful to consider the abundance and variability of selected elements
in chlorite, as a function of host lithology, for all propylitic samples (Fig. 4.7).

In general, the concentrations of most elements are similar across all lithologies within one standard
deviation and are usually indistinguishable within two standard deviations. However, some exceptions and
slight preferences toward different chlorite compositions are observed. The trachyandesites (AND) appear
to host chlorites with low Fe/Mg ratios, particularly in comparison to that developed in the AFG and BQM
(Fig. 4.7j,k). Thus, chlorite Mg content is, perhaps unsurprisingly, slightly higher in more primitive, Mg-rich
host rocks. For unknown reasons, AND-hosted chlorite is also relatively enriched in Ba (Fig. 4.7g). Data for
chlorite hosted within the Mafic Zero (MZO) relates to just two samples, although again appears subtly
different, with relatively elevated Ni, Co and Ti concentrations (Fig. 4.7c,p,r). Chlorite developed in the BQM,
AFG and AND also contains relatively elevated Ti, but this is probably because many such samples are from
deposit-proximal locations, where Ti is elevated in all cases (see section 4.4.4). Trachytes (TR) seem to
contain chlorite with relatively high concentrations of Cu, Co, Sb and Li (Fig. 4.7i,o-q), although this is driven
largely by data for only one of the four samples which constitute the TR bin (NP13AP274), suggesting it
could simply be one anomaly. Further, all these elements tend to be more enriched in deposit-distal
locations (see section 4.4.4), and sample NP13AP274 is one of the most deposit-distal samples in the
dataset. Similarly, AFG-hosted chlorite seems to contain relatively low concentrations of Si, V and Ni, as well
as elevated Mn and Zn. Again this is because the AFG bin is based on only two samples, both of which are
from within the Mn-Zn halo of the E48 deposit, where there is also a spatially coincident high in the Al/Si
ratio of chlorite, and low in V and Ni (see section 4.4.4).

Possible compositional variance arising from chlorite of different textures (section 4.4.1) and mode of
occurrence is also considered (Fig. 4.7). Most apparent is that vein-hosted chlorite contains the highest
mean concentrations of Al, Ti, Mn and Zn as well as the lowest mean Si, Ni and Sr contents. In comparison,
chlorite occurring as weak disseminations/replacement shows opposite compositional traits and chlorite
developed in the halos around veins generally demonstrates compositions intermediate between the two.
This strongly suggests distance from fluid flow conduits can influence chlorite chemistry. The texture of
chlorite, however, shows less of a relationship to composition. Although massive aggregates of small grains
display the greatest compositional variability, this is because it is the most common texture and hence is
represented by the largest dataset. The compositional characteristics of singular, clean, chlorite grains are

(left panel), chlorite texture (middle panel) and mode of occurrence (right panel). Boxes represent ± 1σ, whiskers ± 2σ and
dots are outliers >2σ; horizontal line is the mean value. Each panel is based on 813 analyses of all 56 propylitic chlorite
samples for which LA-ICP-MS data were obtained. Note that sample NP13AP255 is treated as metamorphic and thus
omitted from these plots as it is a significant outlier, with many chemical (see section 4.4.4) and visual attributes similar to
metamorphic chlorite. Lithologies: AFG = alkali feldspar granite; AND = basaltic trachyandesite; BQM = biotite quartz
monzonite; MON = monzonite; MZO = Mafic Zero; SST = volcanic sandstone; TR = trachyte; TVB = trachytic volcanic

generally distinct in that they tend to have elevated Al, Ti, V and Fe and low Si, Ca, Sr, Zn and Ni. However,
this can be explained by the fact that they only occur within veins (and represent the smallest dataset of
two samples), and essentially reflect the vein-hosted chlorite fingerprint. Chlorite pseudomorphs, primarily
after biotite, do not display any distinguishing features.

4.4.4 Spatial trends in chlorite mineral chemistry


In order to assess spatial variation in mineral chemistry with reference to known deposits, 2D linear distances
to the centre of the E26 and E48 orebodies were calculated for all samples (Appendix C). Note 2D rather than
3D distances were calculated, as the vertical centre of the porphyry systems is unknown - each system being
vertically extensive, with a pipe-like morphology, and remaining open at depth.

Trends associated with the E48 deposit


Samples from drillholes E48D134, E48D147, GD654, E26D360 and E26D361 are closest to the E48 deposit. Based
on field relationships, alteration within these drillholes appears directly related to this deposit, with the most
intense propylitic alteration clearly zoned around it (e.g. Fig. 2.17). E48 is therefore associated with the largest
sample suite and is also the most centrally located deposit relative to the known systems. Consequently, trends
in the mineral chemistry of samples from the aforementioned drillholes together with all intermediate distance
rock-chip and distal metamorphic samples are assessed with respect to E48 (Figs. 4.8, 4.9).

Based on SEM-EDS data, Al is present at ~2.2 apfu in deposit-proximal chlorite, gradually increasing with
distance until a maximum of ~2.6 apfu Al is accommodated at ~800 m from the deposit; values then decrease
back toward ~2.1 apfu out to ~8 km (Fig. 4.8a). Si, being negatively correlated with Al (Fig. 4.6b), demonstrates
the opposite behaviour (Fig. 4.8b). Regional metamorphic chlorite trends toward even lower Al and higher Si
contents, but are generally indistinguishable from the most distal propylitic samples. The Mn content of
chlorite displays a pronounced zonation around E48, reaching maximum values of 0.4-0.5 apfu at ~800 m
from the deposit centre (Fig. 4.8c). Such Mn in chlorite halos were also documented by Ballantyne (1981) at
the North Silver Bell and Safford deposits (Arizona, USA) and by Wilkinson et al. (2015) at the Batu Hijau
deposit (Sumbawa, Indonesia). They are also in agreement with the distal Mn increase observed by Norman
et al. (1991) at Southwest Tintic (Utah, USA). Metamorphic chlorites are distinguishable by their low Mn
contents, typically <0.1 apfu. By contrast, Mg and Fe contents show no clear systematic trends with proximity
to E48, being broadly restricted to the range of 2.5-3.5 apfu and 1.4-2.0 apfu respectively. However,
metamorphic chlorite is, on average, slightly more Fe-rich and Mg-poor than propylitic chlorite, but with
significant scatter (Fig. 4.8d,e).

Although based on fewer samples, the Mn content of chlorite determined by LA-ICP-MS displays exactly the
same spatial trend as determined by SEM-EDS (c.f. Figs. 4.8c and 4.9a). Zn concentrations further define this
remarkable halo, increasing systematically from values typically <1,000 ppm in the most proximal and distal
samples, up to almost 2,500 ppm in intermediate-distance samples between ~0.6-2 km from the centre of
E48 (Fig. 4.9b). Metamorphic samples show low Zn (<1,000 ppm, with most ~600 ppm), similar to the most
distal propylitic samples.

114

SEM-EDS data. Boxes represent the ± 1σ compositional

are outliers >2σ and horizontal lines show the mean
value. Blue boxes = propylitic chlorite, grey boxes =
metamorphic chlorite; n = number of analyses in which
the selected element was >LOD.

The V concentration in chlorite rapidly decreases from ~400 ppm in most proximal samples to ~100 ppm
in chlorite located 600-800 m from E48, before gradually increasing to mean values of 300-400 ppm at
between 2-4 km (Fig. 4.9c). It then appears to drop off towards metamorphic chlorite compositions of
mostly <200 ppm (with the exception of one unusually high sample, NP13AP264, that is particularly close
to the Nash’s Hill prospect; Fig. 4.3). The Ni content of propylitic chlorite appears to display mostly random
variability between 5-60 ppm and a large within-sample range (Fig. 4.9d). However, chlorite located
between 600-800 m from the E48 centre has Ni consistently <20 ppm and displays limited within-sample
variability. Metamorphic samples generally have high Ni content, with only one sample containing <20
ppm and none <10 ppm. Notably, both V and Ni reach their lowest concentrations in chlorite at the same
distance from E48 as Mn and Zn reach their maximum values.

115
Titanium in chlorite, with the exception of three samples, decreases almost exponentially from >200 ppm
to ~80 ppm with increasing distance from the E48 system (Fig. 4.9e). The three samples which fall off this
trend are located at ~850 m and are not random anomalies. The sample with the highest Ti concentration
(~450 ppm) is characterised by particularly intense and texturally-destructive chloritisation, developed as
part of the largest observed P1 propylitic vein (see section 2.6.4). Those of slightly lower Ti concentrations
(~250 ppm) were collected immediately adjacent to this vein, suggesting that Ti in chlorite can decrease
away from zones of focused fluid flow at various scales. Metamorphic chlorite shows consistently lower Ti
concentrations compared to propylitic samples, with values almost exclusively <50 ppm.

The concentration of Sr in metamorphic chlorite is typically slightly higher than in propylitic samples, but
is not distinctive. Further, there is no systematic spatial variability within the propylitic samples (Fig. 4.9f),
unlike the trends that were documented at Batu Hijau (Wilkinson et al., 2015).

Cu, Pb and Ba demonstrate almost identical behaviour in chlorite (Fig. 4.9g-i). All these elements, perhaps
counter-intuitively, are almost absent (concentrations <<10 ppm) in chlorite developed within 3 km of E48
but may rarely be slightly elevated in the most distal samples. However, within metamorphic chlorite,
much higher concentrations are revealed: Cu up to ~900 ppm; Pb up to ~45 ppm and Ba up to ~200 ppm.
The only propylitic sample with such elevated concentrations of Cu, Pb and Ba is NP13AP255, located ~6
km from E48 (Fig. 4.9g-i). As discussed in section 4.3.1, this sample also texturally appears most similar to
metamorphic samples and was only considered propylitic given its proximity to the ‘Nash’s Hill’ prospect.
These results suggest it is actually of metamorphic origin.

Ca is consistently present in propylitic chlorite in the range of 100-900 ppm and shows no systematic spatial
variation (Fig. 4.9j). As above, sample NP13AP255 with values ~1,000 ppm again appears similar to
metamorphic samples, which themselves mostly contain >1,500 ppm Ca and are thus usefully
distinguished. Similarly, the highest concentrations of Li (~200 ppm) are observed in the metamorphic
samples (Fig. 4.9k). Within propylitic chlorite, Li concentrations remain between ~10-60 ppm until >2 km
from E48, at which point they begin to systematically increase toward 150 ppm, effectively transitioning
into the range of metamorphic samples.

Sb in chlorite is typically at levels below the limit of detection via LA-ICP-MS; where quantifiable it is in the
range of 10-200 ppb, although it is unknown where the Sb cation would reside within the mineral structure
and this may simply represent minor contamination. Nevertheless, Sb displays a noteworthy systematic
increase with distance from E48 and discriminates most distal propylitic chlorite from metamorphic
chlorite in which Sb concentrations are consistently low or <LOD (Fig. 4.9l).

The concentration of Co in chlorite also displays a broad continual increase from ~50 ppm in proximal
samples out to ~150 ppm in chlorite located >2 km from E48 (Fig. 4.9m). Metamorphic chlorites have
elevated Co, similar to the distal propylitic chlorite. Values <100 ppm typically correspond to chlorite
developed within 1.5 km of E48.

116
B is present in the majority of samples at concentrations of ~6 ppm and reaches up to 12 ppm; although
values appear to increase between 350 to 600 m from E48 there is too much scatter to define any clear
spatial trends (Fig. 4.9n).

Trends associated with the E26 deposit


Samples from drillhole E26D507 appear to be related to the E26 deposit, although there remains the
possibility these may have been affected by the nearby GRP314 system. Drillhole E26D460 was driven sub-
horizontally from E26 northwards toward E48, with its collar at the same depth as E26D459 (Fig. 4.4). As
such, samples from E26D460 may be related to either or both deposits. The samples from E26D459 are
closest to E26 and are assumed to be related to this system; however, propylitic alteration in this drillhole
is not particularly well developed in comparison to all other samples.

118
Because of these complications, mineral chemistry trends relative to E26 are assessed for each hole
individually (Fig. 4.10). As expected from the E48 results, given the close proximity of samples from
E26D507, D26D459 and E26D460 to the E26 deposit, the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Ba, Ba, Ca, Li, Sb and Co
in chlorite do not exhibit any clear spatial variations, hence, for brevity, are not shown in Fig. 4.10.
Nevertheless, the absolute concentration of these elements is within the same range as those E48 samples
located at similar distances from the system centre: Ca = 200-800 ppm and Li = 20-100 ppm with Cu
typically <5 ppm, Pb <1 ppm, Ba <4 ppm, Sb <0.1 ppm and Co <120 ppm.

Chlorite from E26D507 shows a decrease in Al and corresponding increase in Si content with progressive
distance from E26 (Fig. 4.10a,b). Although this is broadly what is observed at E48 further out, at similar
distances to those represented in E26D507 the trend is actually the opposite. Further, Mg and Fe, which
did not show consistent spatial variation around E48, appear to increase and decrease respectively with
distance from E26 (Fig. 4.10f,g). This could represent a host rock control over Fe and Mg content, with all
samples from E26 almost entirely hosted by BQM, thus removing this variable and allowing spatial trends
to be observed. In comparison, highly variable volcanics and intrusive rocks surround the upper portions
of E48.

In agreement with the E48 dataset, the concentrations of Mn and Zn in chlorite from E26D507 increase
with distance from E26, whereas V and Ti broadly decrease (Fig. 4.10e,h). Maximum values of Mn and Zn in
chlorite of 0.2 apfu and ~1,400 ppm respectively fall short of the maximum values reached in the halo
around E48. However, samples only provide coverage to <850 m from the deposit and this suggests the
maximum point of the Mn-Zn halo around E26 is located still further out. Sr in chlorite from E26D507 is
only present at low levels (<13 ppm) and, as for E48, shows no clear spatial trends (Fig. 4.10i). Ni may be
said to slightly increase with progression from E26 but this is at best tenuous (Fig. 4.10j).

Chlorite from drillhole E26D460 initially shows an increasing Al content away from E26, reaching maximum
values at ~600 m before starting to decrease; again Si demonstrates the inverse trend (Fig. 4.10a,b).
Similarly, Mn and Zn show broad halos, with maximum concentrations reached between 500-700 m from
E26 (Fig. 4.10c,d). These trends are in agreement with those observed around E48 and as such could be
interpreted as entirely reflecting the E26 system. However, the more distal samples in this drillhole are in
fact closer to the E48 system (e.g. Fig. 4.3) and so the Mn data are considered to define an ‘m’-shaped
pattern of two halos, with maximum Mn concentrations at 500 and 700 m from E26, returning to lower
levels at 600 m (Fig. 4.10b). Mg and Fe contents perhaps show this behaviour even better, defining distinct
‘m’- and ‘w’-shaped trends respectively (Fig. 4.10f,g). The latter cannot be easily interpreted in relation to
just E26, but may be easily thought of as the same geochemical characteristics being displayed around
each of the two adjoining systems. Remarkably therefore, chlorite from drillhole E26D460 seems to reflect
both the E26 and E48 systems between which it was drilled. The Sr concentration of chlorite in this drillhole
also appears to show a ‘U’-shaped profile, decreasing away from E26 and increasing toward E48 (Fig. 4.10i).

119
Ti content again decreases rapidly from E26 and, in keeping with the proximity to hydrothermal centres,
remains relatively elevated (>100 ppm) throughout E26D460, although does not increase toward E48 (Fig.
4.10h). This is likely because these samples are still too distal from the E48 centre.

Chlorite from drillhole E26D459, sampling at depth to the west of E26, is consistently anomalous in
comparison to all other propylitic samples. Si, Al, Mn, Zn, Ti, V and Sr show no spatial trends, while absolute
values of Mn and Ti are particularly low, typically <0.12 apfu and <150 ppm respectively (Fig. 4.10a-e,h,i).
Only the Mg and Fe contents of chlorite appear to exhibit spatial variation; as observed in other samples
around E26, the former shows a weak tendency to increase with progression from E26 while the latter
decreases (Fig. 4.10f,g).

Trends in drillhole E34D3
The E34 prospect is a circular magnetic anomaly
located ~2 km west of E48 and E26; no
mineralised QMP bodies are presently known (J.
Owens, Northparkes Mines pers. comm., 2015).
Propylitic alteration is dominant in drillhole
E34D3 but there remains the possibility for
undiscovered mineralisation in this area and the
alteration cannot be simply assumed to be
related to known deposits, hence mineral
chemistry trends are assessed separately (Fig.
4.11).

Chlorite from E34D3 is directly comparable to


other deposit-related samples, with Pb
concentrations mostly <0.6 ppm, Cu <5 ppm, Ba
<9 ppm, Sr <13 ppm and Ca in the range of 200-
600 ppm; Ti is also present at relatively high levels
with many samples >100 ppm, in the range of 50-
250 ppm. Although these results immediately

known mineralised centres.

Sb is largely present at <0.12 ppm and Ni concentrations lie between 5-20 ppm; the exception is one
relatively Ni-rich chlorite (NP12AP023; ~60 ppm) from within the ‘Mafic Zero’, which likely reflects a host
rock control (section 4.4.3). Such values for Ni and Sb in the E48 dataset were typical of samples located
~0.5-1.5 km from the deposit.

Notably, a fault of unknown offset juxtaposes basaltic trachyandesite against the BQM at ~500 m depth
in drillhole E34D3. Associated with it are zones of shearing and sericitic alteration (Fig. 2.17). As such, the
relationship between samples either side of this structure is unclear and spatial variation in chlorite
chemistry down this drillhole is best considered only at depths >500 m.

Fe and Mn in chlorite from E34D3 average ~1.6 and ~3.0 apfu respectively and display no systematic
downhole variation (Fig. 4.11f,g). Conversely, Al, Mn and Ti initially show a broad increase in concentration
down E34D3, reaching peak values at ~1 km hole-depth before decreasing again (Fig. 4.11a,c,h). Zn also
exhibits this trend once below the aforementioned fault (Fig. 4.11d). Still, the maximum concentrations of

121
Mn (0.15 apfu), Ti (250 ppm) and Zn (1,000 ppm) reached are lower than in the centre of the Mn-Zn halo
around E48. Owing to their negative correlation in chlorite, Si shows the inverse trend to that of Al (Fig. 4.11b).

The V and Li contents of chlorite broadly increase down E34D3 from 800 m onwards (Fig. 4.11e,j),
reminiscent of trends in the E48 dataset and suggesting progression away from a mineralised centre. Co
though, which might also be expected to show similar behaviour based on E48 data, seems to decrease
down this drillhole (Fig. 4.11i).

Overall, the absolute concentration values for elements in E34D3 chlorite are typical of other samples
located at similar distances to the E48/E26 systems and could be interpreted simply as a part of their
alteration shell. However, the presence of a distinct down-hole trend in the abundance of Al, Mn, Ti and Zn
is not easily explained by this interpretation. Further, peak concentrations of these elements are coincident
with the most intense propylitic alteration (between 1-1.3 km down-hole) and the occurrence of minor
magnetite veinlets (at ~1.15 km), which perhaps indicate a transition toward magnetite ± biotite alteration.
Such trends could easily reflect either: 1) the presence of an undiscovered mineralised centre below the
drillhole at ~1 km along its length, or; 2) a major fluid conduit (probably from E48) passing within close
proximity to the drillhole, again at ~1 km along its length.

4.4.5 Chlorite results summary


The vast majority of chlorite sampled is manganoan clinochlore in which the abundance of major cations
is often interrelated. The Fe/Mg ratio of chlorite is, at least in part, controlled by the host lithology, with
rocks of more primitive composition predisposed to slightly higher Mg content. The concentration of Ni,
Co and Ba also demonstrably has some dependence on host lithology in certain examples. Chlorite texture,
and which mineral it replaces, appear to have little effect on the chemistry of the mineral. However, chlorite
chemistry demonstrates a remarkable systematic spatial variation in relation to both distance from
hydrothermal centres and differing paragenesis (i.e. propylitic alteration vs. metamorphism). Ti and Al are
positively correlated and appear to decrease in concentration away from zones of focused fluid flow
represented by both porphyry centres and major veins; Si varies inversely to Al. Around E26, where the
host rock is dominated by homogeneous BQM, chlorite Mg content increases with progressive distance
from the deposit; Fe, being inversely correlated, decreases. Mn and Zn consistently define halos of elevated
concentration around the porphyry centres, coincidental with low concentrations of V and Ni. Co, Li and
Sb concentrations increase into zones of distal propylitic alteration, remaining at relatively low values
within 2 km of known deposits. Propylitic chlorite lacks any appreciable Cu, Pb and Ba, but these elements
may reach significantly elevated values in metamorphic chlorite samples from elsewhere in the region.
Similarly, Ca is present at relatively low concentrations in deposit-related chlorite by comparison to most
metamorphic samples.

4.5 E PIDOTE RESULTS
Sample information, SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS compositional data are tabulated in Appendices C, G and I
respectively. Results are presented graphically in the following sections.

4.5.1 Epidote alteration textures


Three dominant types of epidote, all of which may be present in the same sample, were distinguished
based on textures observed using SEM-BSE imaging.

Clean, euhedral grains


Large (50-750 μm long), typically euhedral crystals of epidote are most common in vein centres where they
are variably intergrown with calcite, quartz, chlorite and occasional pyrite-chalcopyrite (Fig. 4.12a). This
type of epidote may also be present in replacement zones directly adjacent to veins. In hand specimen it
is the darkest green and has the most vitreous lustre. The grains usually display complex internal growth
zoning in SEM-BSE images; oscillatory zoning is dominant, but occasional core-rim zoning and even sector
zoning can be observed (Fig. 4.12b,c). Despite such internal complexity, these grains have the lowest level
of inclusions/impurities and, as such, consistently provided the best analyses via LA-ICP-MS.

Broken and included grains


Relatively large (25-400 μm long), euhedral to subhedral crystals of epidote were observed in both veins
and replacement patches; they are characteristically highly fractured and contain a high density of
inclusions (Fig. 4.12d,e). Most inclusions are of phengitic sericite, calcite and minor chlorite, although
apatite and titanite can also be present. Singular apatite and titanite crystals (as documented for chlorite
replacement) are developed within and amongst these epidote grains (Fig. 4.12e), and calcite and/or
quartz often in-fill interstices between the mineral grains. Crystal zoning (as observed in SEM-BSE images)
is never strongly developed, but sometimes parts an epidote grain may show a higher density of inclusions,
frequently toward the outer edges (Fig. 4.12d). This presumably reflects differing growth conditions and
perhaps growth rates through time. These grains can be transitional to the cleaner euhedral epidotes
described above. Owing to inclusions, this type of epidote is difficult to analyse via LA-ICP-MS. Many
ablation spots were abandoned during acquisition and, where accepted, typically only a part of the signal
corresponding to inclusion-free epidote could be integrated.

Aggregated subhedral grains


Perhaps the most common type of epidote occurs as aggregates of small (1-200 μm long), subhedral to
anhedral grains that lack any significant internal zoning (Fig. 4.12f-i). Frequently, grain boundaries appear
sutured together, either with one another or with interstitial calcite, quartz and/or chlorite (Fig. 4.12f,g).
Inclusions of these minerals are also often present and, again, apatite crystals may be observed in amongst
the epidote. In hand specimen, this epidote lacks lustre and is the palest green colour, suggesting colour
intensity is inversely correlated with the abundance of interstitial calcite and/or quartz. Typically, such
epidote aggregates are present as replacement patches, where they may be the result of pervasive,

123
texturally-destructive replacement of sedimentary and basaltic volcanic rocks, or may occur as selectively
pervasive replacement of mafic minerals (accompanied by chlorite-phengite) or feldspar (accompanied by
calcite-quartz, e.g. Fig. 4.12i). However, more rarely, these aggregates can also be observed in veins,
intergrown with quartz, calcite, pyrite and even anhydrite (Fig. 4.12h). Analysis by SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS
was limited to grains of suitable size and low inclusion density.

including oscillatory zoning (parallel growth zones, top) and sector zoning (one example arrowed), NP13AP090; (d) mostly
euhedral broken grains with interstitial calcite. Note that crystals show inclusion-rich zones, including crystal edges, and
that fractures do not affect calcite, suggesting two phases of epidote growth separated in time by a period of brittle
deformation, NP12AP010; (e) mostly subhedral, broken and included grains enclosing two large apatite crystals and with
interstitial calcite, NP13AP179; (f) aggregate of anhedral grains with almost sutured contacts, intergrown with minor
quartz, NP12AP093; (g) aggregate of particularly small subhedral to anhedral grains with minor interstitial phengite (light
grey) and quartz patches, NP13AP061; (h) patch of aggregated, anhedral epidote grains intergrown with anhydrite in
quartz-epidote-anhydrite vein, NP13AP286; (i) selective replacement of tabular plagioclase by epidote, calcite and quartz.

vug, cemented by calcite, NP13AP237.

124
4.5.2 Epidote mineral chemistry
Based on the calculated atomic abundance of Al, Fe and Mn per formula unit (Appendix G), all analyses
were of true epidote (Fig. 4.13a) with XEp ≥0.5, mostly in the range 0.6-1.1. Those values >1 reflect more
than one Fe atom per formula unit (Eq. 4.1). These calculations assume all Fe is Fe3+ and are based on 12.5
oxygen equivalents. Al and Fe demonstrate an expected excellent negative correlation across all values of
XEp (Fig. 4.13b), suggesting a complete solid solution exists within this range; further, Fe does not show any
linear correlation with Ca (Fig. 4.13c). These relationships are consistent with Fe being present entirely as
Fe3+, or, if present as Fe2+, that it substitutes for Al in the octahedral M sites.

The abundance of Mn shows no clear relationship to the absolute concentrations of Fe, Al or Al+Fe (Fig.
4.13d), but rather demonstrates a negative correlation with Ca (Fig. 4.13e). This is strong evidence that Mn
is present as Mn2+, substituting for Ca in A sites (likely A1), as opposed to the more typical trivalent
behaviour and substitution for Al or Fe (e.g. Dollase, 1969, 1973; Ferraris et al., 1989). Accordingly,
compositions are driven toward manganoan epidote rather than piemontite. The diffuse nature of the
trend also shows that for any given abundance of Ca there is still a large and variable range in associated
Mn content, indicating that other cations must also substitute for Ca when Mn content is low, such that
total A site occupancy ≈ 2.0-2.1 apfu.

Using these inferred occupancies, an average formula for samples from deposit-related propylitic
alteration can be given as (Ca1.99,Mn0.03)(Al2.15,Fe0.83)Si3.00O12(OH) and for regional metamorphic samples as
(Ca1.97,Mn0.01)(Al2.13,Fe0.87)Si3.01O12(OH), calculated from 3,540 and 316 SEM-EDS analyses respectively
(treating Mn <LOD as zero). Therefore, with regard to major element composition, these epidotes of
differing paragenesis are almost indistinguishable apart from the slightly higher Mn in propylitic samples.

Total A site cations (Ca+Mn) show a broad negative correlation with total M site cations (Fe+Al), suggesting
an overall structural limit of ~5.0 apfu in these sites and a complementary relationship between the two
(Fig. 4.13f). Similarly, Si which dominates the tetrahedral (T) site, is negatively correlated with Fe+Al such
that total M+T site occupancy is limited to ~6.0 apfu (Fig. 4.13g). In contrast, there is no correlation between
Si and Ca+Mn, implying M sites provide the link between total A and T site occupancy. This is in agreement
with the known crystal structure in which octahedral chains containing the M sites are responsible for the
generation of the A and T sites which are formed in-between them (section 4.2.2).

Generally, there is a tendency for increased Fe/Al ratios to be associated with higher Mn and lower Ca
contents (Fig. 4.13h,i). However, the scattered nature of these trends is more indicative of
geochemical/spatial coincidence rather than a crystallographic control, i.e. conditions under which Mn is
elevated also favour Fe/Al ratios ≈ 0.3-0.4.

in atoms per formula unit (apfu) were calculated based on 12.5 oxygen equivalents; Mn values plotting <0.01 apfu are
those <LOD via SEM-EDS. Data points referred to as ‘not shown’ are outliers which occur off the scale of the plots.

126
The concentrations of Au, Ag, Tl, Ta, Lu, Hf, and Th are almost exclusively <LOD; where detected, Hf, Th and
Lu average 0.2 ppm whereas Tl and Ta average 0.4 ppm. Na and K are frequently <LOD, and, where
detected, are typically just above the LOD at <20 ppm and <50 ppm respectively. Eu and Yb are mostly
present at <4 ppm averaging 1 ppm; Y <40 ppm averaging 7 ppm; Zr <10 ppm averaging 2 ppm; U <1 ppm
averaging 0.4 ppm. None of these elements demonstrate systematic spatial variation in their
concentration, or significant differences between propylitic and metamorphic epidote samples, hence
they are not discussed further.

4.5.3 Lithological and textural controls over epidote mineral chemistry


There is no obvious control of epidote major element chemistry by the host lithology in which it is
developed, with the exception of epidote from the trachytic volcanic breccias which shows a subtle trend
towards higher Fe and lower Al (Fig. 4.13b,h). To more thoroughly assess possible host rock controls,
especially for trace elements, the abundance and variability of selected elements in epidote is considered
as a function of host lithology for all propylitic samples (Fig. 4.14).

The concentrations of most elements (particularly Ca, Si, Ba, Sn, Ce, V, Sr, Si, As, Mg, Ti, Sb, Bi and Sr) are
remarkably consistent within epidote from all lithological groups, being typically indistinguishable within
one standard deviation of average values. Only two further lithological preferences are apparent. Trachyte
(TR)-hosted epidote trends toward higher Mg, Zn, As, Co and Sr concentrations relative to other host rocks,
and epidote developed in the AFG shows slightly elevated Al, Sn, Mn and Pb along with lower Fe and Si.
These observations could indicate a real, but weak, host rock control. For example, TR-hosted epidote may
be elevated in several elements because in these rocks, dominated by K-feldspar and quartz, there are few
other minerals within which such elements can be easily accommodated. However, it is notable that both
lithological groups are represented by only two samples and, with many more represented by the other
groups, these differences could also simply represent a sampling bias.

Possible compositional variance related to epidote of different textures (section 4.5.1) and mode of
occurrence is also considered (Fig. 4.14). Broadly, texturally-distinct epidote types are geochemically
indistinguishable from one another. The only notable feature is a slight preference for the large, pure and
euhedral epidote grains to contain higher Ca and Al, along with lower Mn and As concentrations. With
regard to mode of occurrence, epidote hosted in both veins and vein halos generally shows elevated
concentrations of Ti, Al, Mn, Pb and Zn in comparison to disseminated replacement epidote. With the
exception of Pb, these trends are similar to those documented in chlorite (section 4.4.3).

127

texture (middle panel) and mode of occurrence (right panel). Each panel is based on 706 analyses of all 56 propylitic
epidote samples for which LA-ICP-MS data were obtained. Epidote textures, as described in section 4.5.1: subhed. =
aggregated subhedral grains; broken = broken and included grains; euhedral = clean euhedral grains. Note FLT = epidote

4.5.4 Spatial trends in epidote mineral chemistry
Spatial variations in the mineral chemistry of epidote are assessed in the same way as for chlorite (see
section 4.4.4).

Trends associated with the E48 deposit


Based on SEM-EDS data (Fig. 4.15), the Mn content of epidote displays the largest spatial variation, showing
a halo of maximum values ~0.15 apfu at ~800 m from the centre of E48 (Fig. 4.15c), coincident with the
Mn-Zn halo observed for chlorite. However, in contrast to chlorite, the epidote Mn halo is defined only by
the high concentrations in a given sample (e.g. mean + 1σ values, the upper limit of boxes in Fig. 4.15c),
with nearly every sample also containing a range of Mn contents down to <LOD (although <LOD data
points are omitted from Fig. 4.15c for clarity). This is presumably a direct result of the partitioning of Mn
into various crystallographic zones within a single epidote grain. Across the Mn halo, Ca shows a spatially
coincident decrease in concentration (Fig. 4.15b), albeit less well-defined, as a result of the negative
substitution correlation between the two elements (Fig. 4.13e).

Despite much scatter in the data, Al also appears to gradually increase from ~2.1 apfu in deposit-proximal
epidote to ~2.3 apfu at ~800 m from E48, before decreasing back to ~2.1 apfu several km from the deposit
(Fig. 4.15e). Again, this trend was observed for Al in chlorite. The inverse trend is observed for Fe in epidote
(Fig. 4.15d) as a consequence of the clinozoisite substitution relationship between the two (Fig. 4.13b). The
Si content of epidote is remarkably uniform throughout all propylitic samples, but does show a distinct
increase in some of the metamorphic examples (Fig. 4.15a).

The Mn halo in propylitic epidote based on LA-ICP-MS data (Fig. 4.16a) is far clearer and better defined than
in SEM-EDS data, despite fewer overall samples, because the lower limit of Mn concentrations is still >LOD
via this technique. As observed for chlorite, Zn concentration also shows a broadly spatially coincident halo
of elevated values (Fig. 4.16b). Notably, in chlorite, Mn and Zn reached peak concentrations of ~40,000 ppm
and ~2,000 ppm, far higher than in epidote where they peak at ~12,000 ppm and ~30 ppm respectively. In
contrast, Pb, which was typically <2 ppm in propylitic chlorite, is present in the range 10-150 ppm in propylitic
epidote, with nearly all samples located <1 km from E48 containing >60 ppm Pb (Fig. 4.16c). Metamorphic
epidote reaches yet higher Pb concentrations, up to 200 ppm, and rarely displays values <50 ppm.

Mg is present in all propylitic samples in the range ~200-1,200 ppm, demonstrating a tendency for
concentrations >800 ppm within 1.5 km of E48 (Fig. 4.16d). In comparison, two of the three metamorphic
samples for which LA-ICP-MS data could be obtained contain <200 ppm Mg.

Ti was also detected in all samples and, as for chlorite, shows a decrease in concentration with distance
from E48 (Fig. 4.16e); proximal samples reach ~2,500 ppm compared to only ~500 ppm in metamorphic
epidote. As for Mn, Ti was found to display compositional variation during analysis, probably as a result of
growth zoning, producing a large range of Ti concentrations in any given mineral grain. Consequently, this
trend is defined only by the maximum Ti concentrations in a given sample.

129

with reference to the centre of the E48 deposit, based on
SEM-EDS data. Boxes represent the ± 1σ compositional
variability in each sample, with whiskers at ± 2σ; circles
are outliers >2σ and horizontal lines show the mean
value. Green boxes = propylitic epidote, grey boxes =
metamorphic epidote; n = number of analyses in which
the selected element was >LOD.

Bi was only present at concentrations >LOD in 43% of analyses and, where quantified, is typically <0.5 ppm.
Remarkably, however, Bi reaches ~1-4 ppm in several epidote samples located within 1.5 km of E48,
appearing to provide a very useful proximal fertility indicator and metamorphic discriminant (Fig. 4.16f).
Similarly, although V is consistently present between ~10-700 ppm, concentrations of ~700-2,500 ppm are
essentially restricted to epidote developed within ~700 m of E48 (Fig. 4.16g). The absolute abundance of
V in epidote is also far higher than in chlorite, which is typically <400 ppm.

Fig. 4.16, continued – Spatial trends in the trace element composition of epidote with reference to the centre of the E48
deposit, based on LA-ICP-MS data. All other details as for Fig. 4.15.

132
Unlike chlorite, in which Sr was usually <40 ppm, propylitic epidote is characterised by Sr concentrations
between 200-5,000 ppm, although no pronounced spatial trends are developed (Fig. 4.16h). Nonetheless,
Sr content is a very useful discriminator between propylitic and metamorphic samples in the Northparkes
district, with the latter characterised by 5,000-20,000 ppm Sr; clearly, metamorphic epidote may be a
significant host of Sr.

Despite geochemical similarities to Sr, Ba is of only limited abundance (mostly <20 ppm) in all analysed
epidote (Fig. 4.16i), probably owing to its particularly large ionic radius (section 4.2.2). Still, the Ba content
of epidote does (with the exception of three deposit-proximal samples that show a sharp decrease) appear
to erratically increase from <5 ppm within 1 km of E48, up to 5-20 ppm further out. Metamorphic samples
contain fairly unremarkable Ba contents in the range ~0-10 ppm.

Sb and As were detected in the majority of analysed epidote and demonstrate similar behaviour to one
another. Generally, concentrations are typically <10 ppm, with most epidote encountered either <1 km
from E48 or in metamorphic samples containing >10 ppm As and Sb (Fig. 4.16j,k). Indeed, compared to all
propylitic samples, As in metamorphic epidote is highly enriched, with values in the range of ~20-100 ppm.
Notably, some epidote samples display a large range of As and Sb concentrations, whereas other spatially
adjacent samples show only a limited range. Such behaviour though shows no correlation with host
lithology, epidote texture, or mode of occurrence.

Propylitic epidote mostly contains <2 ppm Co, far lower than observed in chlorite which reached ~150
ppm. Generally, those epidote samples with lowest Co content (~0.5 ppm) are located ~1 km from E48,
and more proximal than this, there is a suggestion of a halo feature (Fig. 4.16l).

Cu was only detected by LA-ICP-MS in 9% of epidote analyses and Mo in only 25%; they are typified by
concentrations <6 and <0.8 ppm respectively, including in two metamorphic samples which do not appear
distinct from propylitic samples in these elements (Fig. 4.16m,n). The Cu data are too few to define a reliable
pattern but the Mo results do appear to show an increase to a maximum at ~800m followed by a decrease,
rather similar to Zn and Mn.

Sn occurs at ~1-4 ppm in the majority of samples, including metamorphic epidote. Although there seem
to be systematically higher Sn concentrations in epidote located ~0.4-1.5 km from E48 (Fig. 4.16o), the
magnitude of variation is small and is largely dependent on results from only 4-5 samples.

Ce was also detected in the majority of analyses, usually at concentrations <20 ppm. Of the eight samples
in which Ce was >30 ppm, six are located ~0.4 to 1.5 km from E48 and appear to define a proximal
enrichment (Fig. 4.16p).

133
Trends associated with the E26 deposit
As observed in the E48 dataset, the Si content of epidote from around E26 is remarkably uniform and shows
no spatial variability. Cu, Mo and Co are again typically present only at low concentrations of <3, <0.75 and
<1.5 ppm respectively; Sn is mostly detected in the range of 1-4 ppm and, in-keeping with the close
proximity of most samples to E26, Ba is generally <10 ppm. Despite some E48-proximal epidote containing
relatively elevated V (>1,000 ppm) and Ce (>20 ppm) contents, these elements remain below such
concentrations in the majority of the E26 epidote analyses. Relatively high concentrations of As (up to ~50
ppm) may be observed, along with Sb (up to ~30 ppm), in agreement with the E48 proximal data, but both
are more commonly detected at levels <20 ppm. None of the aforementioned trace elements (Cu, Mo, Co,
Sn, Ba, V, Ce, As and Sb) display clear systematic spatial variation with distance to E26 and thus for brevity
are omitted from Figure 4.17.

With increasing distance from E26 the Mn content of epidote in drillhole E26D507 gradually increases (Fig.
4.17b), as also shown by chlorite along the same transect, thus defining the inner limb of the Mn halo
around the deposit. Given that the increase in Mn is relatively minor (~0.05 apfu), a corresponding,
opposite effect on Ca is not observed (Fig. 4.17a). The Al content of epidote in E26D507 again mimics the
trend displayed by chlorite, appearing to decrease with distance (Fig. 4.17g); although this trend is in the
opposite sense to variation around E48 and in other E26 drillholes, it is created entirely by results from the
most distal sample and is probably misleading. As expected, Fe mirrors the trend in Al (Fig. 4.17f).
Unfortunately, it was only possible to obtain LA-ICP-MS data for two epidote samples from E26D507, hence
spatial trends cannot be defined for trace elements. Nonetheless, Pb, Zn and Mg concentrations are directly
comparable to epidote at similar distances from E48 (Fig. 4.17c-e), and, once more, Ti is most elevated in
the sample closest to E26 (Fig. 4.17h).

Mn, Pb, Zn and Mg concentrations in epidote from drillhole E26D460 appear to define a broad halo,
reaching peak values 500-600 m from E26 (Fig. 4.17b-e), with Ca showing inverse behaviour to Mn (Fig.
4.17a). Although such trends could be interpreted purely in relation to E26, as noted for chlorite, distal
epidote in this drillhole is closer to E48. Thus, the pattern, in detail, could in fact be speculatively interpreted
as an asymmetrical ‘m’-shape generated by the overlapping Mn halos of both E26 and E48. This pattern is
perhaps also displayed by the Al content of epidote along the drillhole (Fig. 4.17g). Fe naturally defines the
inverse ‘w’-shaped trend (Fig. 4.17f). Ti concentrations generally decrease from E26 (Fig. 4.17h) and do not
appear to increase toward E48, possibly because the E48 centre is still too distant and the marked Ti
increase is a proximal phenomenon. The most E26-proximal epidote in E26D460 contains 1-2 ppm Bi (Fig.
4.17i) which, in the E48 dataset, was seemingly a good indicator of the fertile nature of the hydrothermal
system. Sr is at similar levels (~200-4,000 ppm) to that observed in E48 epidote (Fig. 4.17j).

134

individually for each drillhole/transect. Ca, Mn, Fe and Al are based on SEM-EDS data, all others on LA-ICP-MS data. Plot
details as for Fig. 4.15.

The Al content of epidote from drillhole E26D459 displays a systematic increase with progression away
from E26 (Fig. 4.17g). Fe content demonstrates the inverse trend (Fig. 4.17f), reflecting the negative
correlation between these two elements. Such a pattern of increasing Al/Fe with distance was also
documented in the E48 dataset across the same distance (to ~800 m) from the deposit, at which point it
reversed. This drillhole is the only instance where Al in epidote does not mimic those trends previously
identified for Al in chlorite, which did not show any systematic variation E26D459. However, Fe in chlorite
decreases from E26 along E26D459 in a similar way to the epidote, perhaps suggesting that the
incorporation of Fe in epidote is the primary control on Al take-up in this example.

135
Although Mn and Ca are again inversely correlated in epidote from E26D459 they show no obvious
systematic spatial variation in concentration (Fig. 4.17a,b) and neither do Pb, Zn, Mg and Sr (Fig. 4.17c-e, j).
Ti and Bi tend to increase with progression from E26, a pattern which is more consistent with a stronger
hydrothermal centre distal from E26 (Fig. 4.17h-j). At present, all that can be confidently surmised is that
the epidote relates to a fertile system given that Bi concentrations are often >1 ppm.

Trends in drillhole E34D3


Epidote from drillhole E34D3 has typical
concentrations of <5,000 ppm Sr, <4 ppm Ba, <9
ppm Sb, <13 ppm As and <0.3 ppm Mo, with Sn in
the range 0.5-4 ppm. Cu was never >LOD and
although Ce is mostly <25 ppm, two samples
contained relatively elevated concentrations,
reaching up to 100 ppm. Such characteristics are
directly comparable to the deposit-related epidote
samples of the E48 dataset located between 0.8-
2 km from the system centre. Bi is <0.5 ppm in most
analyses, only reaching >1.5 ppm in one sample,
perhaps indicating limited local prospectivity.

As observed for chlorite, the Mn content of epidote


also increases down E34D3, reaching peak values
of ~0.12 apfu at ~0.8 km, then appearing to
decrease, at least in terms of maximum values,
toward the end of the hole (Fig. 4.18b). Once again
Ca shows the inverse trend (Fig. 4.18a). Pb is rather
erratic but also attains its highest concentrations
(>50 ppm) at ~0.8 km (Fig. 4.18c). Similarly, Ti
Fig. 4.18 – Spatial trends in the composition of epidote for
concentrations reach maximum values toward the selected elements along drillhole E34D3 (for location see Fig.
middle of the drillhole, broadly corresponding to 4.3). Ca, Mn, Fe and Al are based on SEM-EDS data, all others
on LA-ICP-MS data. Plot details as for Fig. 4.15.
the region of elevated Mn and Pb (Fig. 4.18h).
Epidote Mg and Co contents show a general reduction in samples up to 1.2 km depth, with Co abundance
limited to <0.8 ppm (Fig. 4.18e,i). Zn remains largely <20 ppm and V <600 ppm (Fig. 4.18d,j); Fe and Al
display no systematic spatial variation (Fig. 4.18f,g). Sr concentrations are typically 300-4,000 ppm (mean
1,200 ppm), thus are indistinguishable from other propylitic epidote samples.

Overall, epidote samples of very similar mineral chemistry to those in E34D3 are located ~0.8-1.5 km from
the system centre in the E48 dataset. Given the location of E34D3, ~1.5 km from E48, these samples could

136
therefore be interpreted as part of the E48 system. However, as discussed for chlorite, this interpretation
does not account for the existence of the halo/peak in Mn and Pb content; this could indicate the existence
of either undiscovered mineralisation or a major fluid flow zone/conduit near the drillhole at ~1-1.3 km
along its length. Because proximal indicator elements such as Bi and Ti remain relatively low in comparison
to the E48 dataset, perhaps the latter possibility is more likely.

4.5.5 Epidote results summary


All analyses are of manganoan epidote. Grains often show complex internal growth zoning involving
variations in Al, Fe, Mn and Ti. However, the Si content is remarkably constant. Host rock control over the
composition of epidote appears negligible for all but the Al/Fe ratio, which may be affected such that
spatial trends in this parameter are obscured. Epidote grains of different textures are geochemically
indistinguishable, but that which is vein-related (i.e. as vein fill or in alteration halos) generally contains
higher concentrations of Ti, Al, Mn, Pb and Zn than disseminated replacement epidote. Cu and Mo are not
readily incorporated into the epidote crystal structure. In comparison to chlorite, epidote shows far higher
maximum concentrations of Pb, Sr, Ti, As and Sb, and lower concentrations of Mn, Zn, Cu, Co, Na and K.

Epidote chemistry, as for chlorite, often demonstrates systematic spatial variation around known
hydrothermal centres and also reflects its paragenesis, either as part of a propylitic or metamorphic
assemblage. Mn, Pb and Zn in epidote define halos of elevated concentration around porphyry deposits,
mimicking those observed in the Mn-Zn content of chlorite. Ca shows inverse trends to those of Mn in this
study, thought to be related to competition in the crystal lattice. The maximum concentration of Ti in
epidote decreases rapidly away from zones of focused fluid flow and lowest Ti concentrations are in
metamorphic epidote. As and Sb appear to be relatively elevated in both deposit-proximal and deposit-
distal epidote, reaching lowest abundances 1-2 km from known mineralisation. Bi (and V) appear to be
useful fertility indicators, with Bi only detected in the most deposit-proximal epidote (albeit to only limited
concentrations). Sr also discriminates metamorphic epidote very effectively by unusually high
concentrations (>5,000 ppm). Similarly, the highest Pb concentrations occur in metamorphic epidote.

137
4.6 D ISCUSSION : CONTROLS ON MINERAL CHEMISTRY IN THE PROPYLITIC ZONE
The chemical composition of epidote and chlorite developed at any point in a hydrothermal system will
logically depend upon: 1) the availability of elements, either liberated from the host lithology or supplied
by the alteration fluid, hence in turn dependent on fluid source; 2) fluid-mineral partitioning of cations,
that is dependent on which minerals are present/formed as well as the prevailing physical (i.e. temperature,
pressure) and chemical (i.e. speciation, pH, O2 etc.) conditions. However, it is the prevailing
physicochemical conditions and availability of major elements that also determine what minerals are
developed in the first instance. Mineral chemistry is, therefore, the net result of a complex interplay
between several parameters.

4.6.1 Host lithology


For the majority of analysed elements, the host lithology in which chlorite and epidote is developed does
not appear to be a significant control of their chemistry. Indeed, most lithologies contain epidote and
chlorite which spans the entire observed compositional range, and systematic spatial trends in the
abundance of many elements occurs in sample transects that traverse a variety of different host rocks.

However, there are exceptions. Chlorite from within the ‘Mafic Zero’ basaltic trachyandesite contains more
Ni than all other samples and tends toward high Co content. Similarly, trachyandesite-hosted chlorite is
slightly enriched in Ba. Perhaps most significantly, the Fe/Mg ratio of all chlorite samples is broadly
correlated to the original Mg content of the host lithology. Within the metamorphic environment, a
positive correlation between chlorite Fe/Mg and bulk rock composition has been extensively documented
(e.g. Foster, 1962; Kawachi, 1975; Bevins and Rowbotham, 1983; Aguirre, 1988; Bevins and Merriman, 1988;
Bevins et al., 1991; Robinson et al., 1994; López-Munguira et al., 2002). However, Shikazono and Kawahata
(1987) demonstrated that a fluid control (i.e. fluid Fe/Mg, pH, temperature) was the most significant factor
in both Kuroko and Neogene Cu-Pb-Zn vein-type deposits of Japan. Prevailing conditions, as well as fluid
and rock composition are therefore all capable of influencing the Fe/Mg ratio of chlorite. This is also
evidenced in the E48 and E26 chlorite datasets. A systematic spatial trend of decreasing Fe/Mg with
progression from the deposit is only observed in the E26 dataset (drillholes E26D507, E26D460 and
E26D459) where the majority, or all, samples are BQM-hosted. In the E48 dataset, where samples span a
range of volcanic and intrusive lithologies, no clear spatial trends are observed. Intuitively, the bulk rock
composition probably has most influence over chlorite chemistry in the metamorphic environment, where
fluid:rock ratios are lowest, there is little to no advection of solutes and lengthy timescales permit extensive
fluid-rock equilibrium.

The Fe/Al ratio of epidote also appears to show a minor control by host rock, trending toward highest
values in trachytic volcanic breccias, and again only demonstrates systematic spatial trends around E26,
where nearly all samples are BQM-hosted. Similarly, a bulk rock control over the Al/Fe content of epidote
in palaeogeothermal systems was proposed by Shikazono (1984). However, this is only one of several

138
factors known to influence the octahedral substitution of Fe3+ for Al3+ and cannot account for the complex
internal zonation of these elements within individual epidote crystals. Thermodynamic analysis (Arnason
et al., 1993), experimental investigations (e.g. Holdaway, 1972; Liou, 1973) and observations from other
regions (e.g. Raith, 1976; Cavarretta et al., 1980) strongly suggest that temperature and O2 are the most
important controls over this substitution, although CO2, pH, pressure and fluid composition further affect
it to variable extents.

4.6.2 Fluid composition


Systematic spatial variation in the Mn-Zn content of chlorite and Mn-Pb content of epidote define deposit-
concentric halos of peak concentrations, clearly excluding a primary lithological control. These trends are
not surprising: base metal geochemical halos are commonly described around porphyry deposits based
on whole rock anomalies (e.g. Emmons, 1927; Carson et al., 1976; John, 1978; Chaffee, 1982) and have
already been recognised at Northparkes (e.g. Heithersay and Walshe, 1995). Rather than reflecting a pre-
existing alteration anomaly, mass balance considerations clearly demonstrate that metasomatic addition
of Mn, Zn and Pb occurred during propylitic alteration, with the extent of mass addition proportional to
alteration intensity (Chapter 3). Chlorite and epidote are both hosts for these elements and thus contribute
to, and reflect, this whole rock anomalism (see also section 4.7).

Because cations such as Mn, Pb and Zn are clearly added by the alteration fluid, the maximum
concentrations of these elements in chlorite and epidote must partly reflect their original abundance in
the fluid, potentially providing fertility indicators. For example, metamorphic chlorite might not be
expected to contain significant quantities of Mn and Zn - metamorphic fluids are unlikely to accumulate
these elements to the same concentrations as present in spent/distal porphyry-Cu ore fluids. The presence
of Bi in deposit-proximal epidote may also be thought of in this way. However, such interpretations are not
straightforward because fluid-mineral partitioning is determined by many other factors, particularly which
complexing ligands are present, their abundance, and their stability under given physical conditions. It is
the coupled variations in these factors which give rise to the systematic spatial trends observed.

4.6.3 Mineral assemblage


Minerals such as chlorite, epidote, albite, calcite, hematite and pyrite define propylitic alteration and are
ubiquitous within propylitically-altered rocks. However, within and across the facies the abundance of each
of these minerals may vary significantly. Meanwhile, the composition of any mineral is partly a
consequence of preferential element partitioning between the fluid and all phases in the assemblage.
Therefore, changing the abundance of one mineral might be expected to change the concentration of
elements in other coexisting phases.

In general, the abundance of pyrite, often with inclusions of trace chalcopyrite, decreases with progression
from porphyry centres and large veins; none was observed in metamorphic samples. Given the strong
affinity of Cu, and to a lesser extent Co, for pyrite (e.g. Large et al., 2009; Gregory et al., 2015), this

139
distribution pattern would provide a logical explanation for the lack of appreciable Cu in proximal
propylitic chlorite, but relatively high concentrations in metamorphic samples, along with the proximal
depletion and gradual but scattered distal increase in Co. Pyrite also readily accommodates As which is
again present at highest concentrations in metamorphic samples.

Further, in comparison to chlorite, Pb is incorporated far more easily within epidote and trace sulphides.
Hence this could explain the lack of Pb in propylitic chlorite, where coexisting epidote and/or sulphides are
abundant, compared to high Pb concentrations in metamorphic chlorite, where only minor epidote is
observed and sulphides are absent. Similarly, the Ca content of chlorite is highest in metamorphic samples
where Ca-dominant phases, such as calcite and epidote, are of far reduced abundance.

The gradual increase in the concentration of Li in chlorite with progression from E48 may likewise reflect a
decrease in the abundance of other minerals in which Li is more compatible. This would most probably be
mica/phengitic sericite, which is often observed in samples with intense chloritisation.

In light of these interpretations, the relatively low levels of Sr (<40 ppm) in propylitic chlorite, and lack of
any spatial variation in chlorite Sr content, might be anticipated given the dominance of albite, calcite and
epidote within the assemblage, all of which may host orders of magnitude more Sr (e.g. epidote up to
20,000 ppm). As such, the systematic increase in the Sr content of chlorite documented at the Batu Hijau
porphyry Cu-Au deposit (Wilkinson et al., 2015) could simply reflect an outwards decrease in the
abundance of epidote, calcite and albite in accordance with the intensity of the alteration. Alternatively, it
could represent true systematic behaviour of some other variable, but observable only because the
abundance of minerals hosting significant Sr remains roughly constant.

4.6.4 Cation site occupancy


Where two or more cations have a similar affinity for specific crystal sites within the same mineral they must
logically compete against, and substitute for one another. Certain factors such as temperature, together
with the activity of aqueous species, will logically determine how much of each element may be
incorporated. Fe-Al and Ca-Mn in epidote along with Fe-Mg-Mn and Si-Al in chlorite are the most obvious
examples; any systematic change in the abundance of one element in such a group generates the inverse
trend in the other elements. Without data for two or more minerals containing the same cations it may be
difficult to determine which element is driving the change and which are simply compensating.

All substitutions involving Mn appear to be driven by Mn as it shows a spatially coincident halo of elevated
concentration in both epidote and chlorite around E48 and E26. Zn demonstrates identical behaviour and
does not appear to compete against Mn, although far higher concentrations of Zn are accommodated in
chlorite (1,000’s ppm) compared to epidote (10’s ppm). In propylitic chlorite, the sudden increase in both
Mn and Zn concentrations by 10’s of thousand ppm are also correlated with a systematic reduction in V
and Ni content, suggesting the latter elements are effectively out-competed for the octahedral M2+ chlorite
site by the former.

140
The Fe/Mg ratio of chlorite and Fe/Al ratio of epidote are thought to be partly controlled by host lithology
and other variables such as pH (see sections 4.6.1; 4.6.7). Nevertheless, in chlorite and epidote from the E26
dataset, where samples are dominantly hosted in BQM, both the Fe/Al ratio of epidote and Fe/Mg ratio of
chlorite decrease with distance from E26, suggesting an outwards trend of decreasing Fe is the common
driving factor.

4.6.5 Temperature
With increasing distance from a porphyry magmatic centre and from large veins (which may permit
efficient advection of heat), both the ambient rock temperature and that of the alteration fluid will naturally
be expected to decrease.

Temperature is perhaps the most important thermodynamic variable controlling the stability of metal
chloride complexes, which are largely responsible for transport of Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb and Fe in aqueous
solution (e.g. Seward and Barnes, 1997; Seward et al., 2014). The stability of all such chloride complexes,
and therefore the solubility of associated metal cations, decreases significantly with temperature (as well
as during neutralisation of acidic pH, see section 4.6.7). Also, under given conditions, the relative stability
of these complexes is from CuCl+, the least stable, through ZnCl+, PbCl+ and MnCl+ to FeCl+, the most stable
(e.g. Hemley et al., 1992; Hemley and Hunt, 1992; Seward and Barnes, 1997; Kouzmanov and Pokrovski,
2012). As such, outwards cooling of a sulphur-bearing, metal-rich magmatically-derived ore fluid would
initially result in supersaturation of Cu sulphides (evidently alongside K-silicate minerals), accounting for
the zone of potassic alteration and Cu mineralisation. ZnCl+, PbCl+, MnCl+ and FeCl+ complexes would
remain stable in solution during this alteration-mineralisation. However, with continued infiltration of the
fluid into country rocks, cooling and neutralisation of any acidic species would eventually result in the
sequential destabilisation of these complexes. In the case of Fe this is probably partly responsible for the
transition into propylitic alteration, helping to stabilise Fe-bearing minerals such as epidote and chlorite.
Zn, Pb and Mn will either form trace sulphides (dependant on S2) and/or substitute wherever possible
into the major silicate alteration assemblage. With yet further fluid-rock interaction the abundance of such
elements is depleted in the fluid and consequently

Al and chlorite crystallisation temperature is the basis for several empirical geothermometers (e.g.
Cathelineau and Nieva, 1985; Kranidiotis and MacLean, 1987; Cathelineau, 1988; Jowett, 1991) and is also
demonstrated by alternative geothermometers based on geologically-calibrated thermodynamic models
(e.g. Walshe, 1986; Bourdelle et al., 2013). Application of these various geothermometers to the
Northparkes chlorite SEM-EDS dataset yields a range of average formation temperatures (Table 4.3). The
results from the geothermometers of Cathelineau (1988), and Jowett (1991) are most realistic given
constraints imposed by: 1) the observed mineral assemblage; and 2) oxygen isotope geothermometry
which shows a transition from ~400oC to ~200oC with outwards progression across the propylitic facies at
Northparkes (Chapter 5). The equation of Jowett (1991) is preferred overall as it also incorporates
(empirically) the variability in chlorite Fe-Mg content.

The concentration of Ti in chlorite is logarithmically


correlated with [iv]Al content (Fig. 4.6I; R2 = 0.5) and
hence calculated crystallisation temperatures (Fig.
4.19a). This is in accordance with the observed
systematic spatial reduction of Ti concentration in
both chlorite and epidote with progression from
deposit centres and large veins. Such spatial trends
are developed despite the overall immobile
behaviour of Ti during alteration as evidenced by
mass balance (Chapter 2). In agreement with
Wilkinson et al. (2015), this strongly suggests that,
unlike most other elements, the incorporation of Ti
into chlorite and epidote is controlled exclusively by
temperature and is not sensitive to bulk rock Ti
content, mineral partitioning, speciation or aqueous
transport. Buffering of chlorite Ti by local excess in
the breakdown of biotite, magnetite or other mafic
phases to chlorite-titanite/rutile may explain the
highly systematic incorporation.

outlying samples located <800 m from E48, the
temperature of which, based on other observations, is to decrease, effectively defining a subtle halo of

geothermometer. All plot details as for Fig. 4.8. elevated Al/Si (Fig. 4.8a,b). This halo is spatially

142
coincident with maximum Mn-Zn concentrations and, in epidote, most samples also show high Al/Fe ratios
(Fig. 4.15d,e). The latter observation suggests that Al is the common element driving the trend in both
minerals. This inverse behaviour of Al with respect to Ti in chlorite is responsible for some of the outliers
observed in the largely positive correlation between the two elements (Fig. 4.19a). Consequently, although
Ti in chlorite, alteration textures/mineralogy and isotope geothermometry record a decrease in
temperature away from E48, chlorite geothermometry incorrectly suggests a halo of elevated
temperatures around the deposit (Fig. 4.19b). Clearly, some factor other than temperature is both
controlling and favouring the partitioning of Al into chlorite and epidote around E48. A reduction in the
stability of Al complexes within the hydrothermal fluid could accomplish this. Given that the stabilities of
several key Al species are sensitive to pH, a change in pH, itself a result of cooling, is likely responsible for
this behaviour (see section 4.6.7).

4.6.6 Pressure
The formation of metal complexes in aqueous solutions is typically associated with a positive change in
partial molar volume. Thus, increasing pressure favours the dissociation of complexes into simple hydrated
ions, acting to reduce the solubility of metal ions in solution (e.g. Seward, 1981; Seward and Barnes, 1997;
Seward et al., 2014). However, the effect of temperature and pH changes on the stability of minerals and
aqueous complexes is far more significant, such that pressure changes are unlikely to have had any effect
(e.g. Hemley et al., 1986; Rimstidt, 1997; Seward and Barnes, 1997; Mercer and Reed, 2013; Seward et al.,
2014). Furthermore, although pressure fluctuations must occur in the centre of porphyry systems (during
the emplacement of porphyry intrusions and release of (supra)lithostatically pressured fluids) the observed
mineral chemistry trends are developed across the peripheral propylitic zone, where such pressure
fluctuations are presumably rare and insignificant. All samples are also from within a limited 1.3 km depth
interval. The effect of pressure on epidote and chlorite mineral chemistry is therefore considered
negligible.

4.6.7 pH
Changes in fluid pH typically have the most significant effect on the concentration of anions such as OH-,
HS- and HCO3-, which are the conjugate base for weak acids (i.e. acids with relatively low ionisation
constants). The effect on conjugate bases of stronger acids (e.g. Cl-, SO42-) is often more limited as these
acidic species (e.g. HCl, H2SO4) are usually already highly dissociated (e.g. Seward and Barnes, 1997; Seward
et al., 2014). Regardless, all such anions can be important ligands for particular metal complexes, thus
changes in pH will always, to some extent, directly affect their stability and therefore the transport and
concentration of metals in aqueous solution.

143
Acidic pH generally promotes the Cl- complexing and transport of divalent metal cations, and, in the case
of S-bearing fluids, pH may directly control sulphide precipitation. For example, increasing/neutralising an
acidic pH favours the formation of sphalerite:

ZnCl H S ⇔ ZnS 2H nCl (4.2)

pH may also control the speciation of metals in aqueous solution. This is particularly important for Al, which
is typically present as simple Al(H2O)63+ complexes under acidic conditions and as Al(OH)4- complexes under
alkaline conditions (e.g. Hem and Roberson, 1967; Brett, 1991; Wesolowski and Palmer, 1994). Both of these
complexes are far more soluble than species such as Al(OH)2+ and AlOH2+ which predominate under neutral
conditions. Consequently, the total quantity of Al which can be transported in aqueous solution reaches a
minimum at near neutral pH (e.g. Hitch et al., 1980; Kinraide, 1991; Wesolowski and Palmer, 1994).

However, pH is only an extensive variable. As such, any systematic spatial trends in mineral chemistry which
may be related to pH must be driven by systematic change of an intensive variable, such as temperature,
S2, O2 and/or fluid composition that modifies pH. For magmatically-derived ore fluids rich in dissolved
HCl and SO2, pH may easily be lowered upon progressive cooling of the solution as this leads to increased
dissociation of HCl and H2SO4 (e.g. Giggenbach, 1992; Rye, 1993). Neutralisation of the acidity in such fluids
then usually occurs via chemical reaction with the wall rock, for example by the development of sericite
and chlorite from feldspars (see Eqs. 3.10-3.14).

It was highlighted in section 4.6.5 how the Al/Fe ratio of epidote and Al/Si ratio of chlorite both
systematically increase with progression from E48, reaching maxima at ~800 m from E48, then decreasing
with still further distance, with Al as the common driving factor. Such Al-rich epidote and chlorite samples
were collected from zones of particularly intense propylitic alteration (in and around P1 veins) in which the
phyllosilicates chlorite and phengitic sericite are predominant, along with quartz, epidote, pyrite and
occasional trace sphalerite. Chlorite and epidote from these zones also show some of the highest
concentrations of Mn and Zn within the Mn-Zn halo.

These observations suggest that progressive outwards cooling of the alteration fluid during the transition
from the potassic to propylitic facies led to a decrease in its pH. Reaction and neutralisation with country
rock would then produce the observed chloritisation and sericitisation (e.g. Eqs. 3.10-3.14), while
conditions would facilitate minor sulphide deposition (e.g. Eq. 4.2) and favour maximum incorporation of
Mn, Zn and Al into the alteration assemblage, as the stability and solubility of their aqueous complexes is
reduced (as described above). This hypothesis also explains how in disseminated propylitic alteration,
developed away from major fluid conduits (i.e. P1 veins), the halo of elevated Al/Fe in epidote and Al/Si in
chlorite is not always observed. Cooling alone may generate the zonation in Mn-Zn(-Pb) (see section 4.6.5),
but pH changes are necessary to account for the systematic behaviour of Al. The latter would be minimal
in regions where fluid flow was slower as, unlike around major veins, near equilibrium conditions could be
maintained with the country rock silicate assemblage, buffering the fluid at a slightly acidic pH.

144
4.6.8 Oxygen and sulphur fugacity
Although spatial changes in the O2 and S2 of the
alteration fluid cannot be precisely determined, the
relative variance in these parameters may be
inferred based on the observed mineralogical
transitions and known phase relationships.

At Northparkes, the abundance of sulphide minerals


decreases away from mineralised centres,
accompanied by classically-zoned ore mineralogy
from deposit-central bornite, through a chalcopyrite
shell out to distal pyrite. Such changes clearly reflect
an outwards decrease in S2 (and the activity of Cu),
in turn probably driven by the progressive
saturation and precipitation of sulphide minerals, as
a result of fluid cooling (± pH changes).

The abundance of sulphide minerals in the alteration


assemblage will inevitably determine the Fig. 4.20 – Buffer relations for S2 and O2 within the Fe-S-
O (solid lines) and Cu-Fe-S-O (dashed lines) systems at

chalcopyrite throughout the propylitic domain,
even at low S2, rather than substituting into silicates. Where trace sulphides are absent in the
metamorphic domain, chlorite accommodates far higher levels of Cu and Pb, with the latter also elevated
in epidote.

Cooke et al. (2014a) suggested that O2 should decrease away from porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal
centres as oxidised fluids, from which sulphate minerals may often be precipitated, are progressively
reduced by interaction with country rocks. However, at Northparkes, relatively high O2 is implied
throughout the magmatic-hydrothermal systems, exemplified not only by the abundance of anhydrite in
deposit cores, but also of magnetite, hematite and epidote in the surrounding alteration. The overall
zonation in the alteration facies is from deposit-central potassic alteration, with ore grade Cu-Fe-sulphides,
through an annulus of magnetite ± biotite alteration and out to propylitic alteration, with much hematite
and epidote. With reference to the Fe-S-O system (Fig. 4.20) this strongly suggests outwards progression
from deposits is accompanied by a gradual increase in O2 and concomitant decrease in S2 (arrow in Fig.
4.20). This, however, could be a trait that is restricted to alkalic porphyry deposits, in which hematite

145
reddening is often much more abundant than in calc-alkaline porphyry systems (e.g. Wilson et al., 2007;
Bissig and Cooke, 2014; Jago et al., 2014; Micko et al., 2014). Regardless, within the propylitic facies itself,
hematite with minor pyrite is ubiquitous and thus it seems unlikely that O2 could have varied significantly
across this domain. The effect of O2 changes on mineral chemistry trends is therefore considered to be
negligible.

4.7 E XPLORATION APPLICATIONS


The discovery of systematic spatial variations in chlorite and epidote mineral chemistry with respect to the
location of related porphyry ore deposits has obvious applicability to exploration. The usefulness of such
mineral chemistry trends is perhaps best assessed by comparison with trends defined based on traditional,
whole rock geochemical data (Fig. 4.21).

First, it is noted that, if just using the whole rock data collected as part of this study (data for 196 samples
shown in Fig. 4.21), no clear spatial trends are observed. Rather, assay data, corresponding to the drillholes
from which epidote and/or chlorite samples were obtained, must be used to show any kind of systematic
element distribution. This dataset is significant, containing 10,984 whole rock analyses, with each analysis
typically corresponding to a ≥2 m down-hole bulk drill core sample. Consequently, it is unlikely that all but
the most established exploration settings will have access to such a resource. From this dataset it is
apparent that anomalously elevated concentrations of Cu, Au and As are mostly restricted to within the
orebodies themselves (i.e. Cu >0.5%, Fig. 4.21d,e,h), hence such elements are of limited use as vectors to
ore within domains of surrounding alteration. The abundance of K decreases almost linearly with distance
from deposits, as both Mg and Fe increase (Fig. 4.21a-c); these changes broadly represent the transition
from potassic to propylitic alteration. However, the trends are poorly-defined and could easily be
significantly influenced by underlying lithological variations. No clear spatial trends are apparent in Ti, V,
Co and Sb (Fig. 4.21i,m-o). A distinct halo is, however, evident for Mn, Zn and Pb at ~1 km from deposits,
defined by maximum concentrations (Fig. 4.21j-l), although data are particularly scattered. Unsurprisingly,
this whole rock anomaly is spatially coincident with the Mn-Zn halo observed in chlorite and epidote,
although Mn concentrations in chlorite reach far higher values than in the whole rock. One of the most
useful whole rock elements seems to be S, as it remains relatively abundant out to ~4 km from deposits,
potentially providing a good fertility indicator (Fig. 4.21f). Further, the concentration of S, as might be
expected, generally decreases away from deposits, but again this trend is defined only by the relatively
rare maximum values, as opposed to average rock compositions, hence is far from systematic.

Fig. 4.21 – Whole rock geochemical trends to the E48 and E26 deposits. Plots are designed for comparison with mineral
chemistry trends and are therefore based only on data from the same drillholes that mineral chemistry samples were
obtained. Plots were constructed using samples from this study (n = 196) and drill core assay data; in the latter one sample
typically corresponds to a ≥2 m bulk drillhole intercept (n = 10,984, although not all samples were analysed for all
elements). As for previous mineral chemistry plots, all data are plotted against the calculated lateral distance to the E48
deposit, except for data from drillholes E26D459, E26D460 and E26D507, which are plotted against the distance to E26
instead.

147
Evidently, in comparison to established whole rock geochemical anomalies surrounding porphyry
mineralisation, the highly systematic distribution and smooth gradients displayed in mineral composition
have the potential to be far more valuable to explorationists. Mineral chemistry trends have been shown
in this study which are not apparent in whole rock data (e.g. Ti, V, Co, Ni, Sb, Si/Al in chlorite and Ti, Bi, V,
As, Sb in epidote) and/or are far more systematic and robust (e.g. Mn, Zn, V, Ti in chlorite, Mn, Zn, Ti in
epidote). Other mineral chemistry trends extend the footprint of deposits beyond that of whole rock
anomalism, and can even discriminate between epidote and chlorite of metamorphic and propylitic origin
(e.g. Cu, Pb, Ba, Ca, Li in chlorite and Bi, Pb, As, Sr in epidote).

Hence, by combining mineral chemistry observations for several elements, the origin and potential fertility
of an alteration zone could potentially be assessed. Further, where physicochemical gradients existed in
the palaeogeothermal system, the source of metals and heat could be vectored towards.

Nonetheless, it is cautioned that spatial variations in mineral chemistry (and whole rock geochemistry) will
inevitably demonstrate the best trends in retrospective studies, where the mineralised centres are already
known, as such knowledge influences sample collection (e.g. sample traverses to maximise chemical
gradients) and biases data interpretation. Naturally, the density of sample collection may also have a
significant impact on how reliably systematic trends can be identified, and the spatial extent of such trends
is presumably influenced by the size and/or fertility of the magmatic-hydrothermal system. The use of
mineral chemistry data in an unknown exploration setting therefore remains challenging and should never
be applied in isolation; rather, it forms a particularly useful part of the larger geo-scientific toolkit. Wherever
possible, textural information such as alteration intensity, vein abundance/descriptions and proportion of
secondary minerals should also be recorded. These observations may provide invaluable and low-cost
additional information essential for assessing alteration paragenesis and the location of a hydrothermal
centre.

Finally, spatial trends in mineral chemistry can only be used efficiently for exploration given an
understanding of the physicochemical variables which generate them – for example simply following
trends toward higher chlorite Ti content (on different scales) could lead toward a high temperature but
barren vein or intrusion. The ability to effectively utilise mineral chemistry as a vector toward ore will
therefore only improve as more data from different districts and deposit styles are reported and
interpreted.

4.8 C ONCLUSIONS
Propylitic alteration is the most widespread potential indicator of porphyry-style mineralisation. The
chemistry of the two most characteristic minerals, chlorite and epidote, has been shown to consistently
display systematic variation which reflects both the distance to hydrothermal centres and their formation,
either during propylitic alteration or as part of a metamorphic assemblage.

Propylitic chlorite at Northparkes is largely manganoan clinochlore. With increasing distance from
mineralised centres: 1) the concentrations of Mn and Zn increase to a maximum and then decrease,
defining a halo; Al/Si ratios may show similar behaviour or simply decrease outwards, and V and Ni
concentrations are lowest in the peak Mn-Zn zone; 2) Ti content decreases, as does the Fe/Mg ratio within
host rocks of relatively uniform bulk composition; and 3) the concentrations of Co and Li increase. The Sr
concentration of chlorite shows no systematic spatial variation. Metamorphic chlorite contains far higher
concentrations of Li, Ca, Ba, Pb and Cu, but much less Ti.

Propylitic epidote at Northparkes is true manganoan epidote. With increasing distance from mineralised
centres: 1) Mn, Zn, Pb and Mg define halos of elevated concentration spatially coincident with those of Mn-
Zn in chlorite, with an inverse pattern displayed by Ca; 2) the concentrations of Ti, Ba, V, As and Sb decrease,
and the Fe/Al ratio may also decrease within host rocks of relatively uniform bulk composition; and 3) apart
from a very proximal high, the concentration of Ba increases. Metamorphic epidote contains higher
concentrations of Sr, Pb, As and Sb, but less Bi and Ti.

Given data for both minerals, Pb, Sr, Ti, As and Sb preferentially partition into epidote, whereas Zn, Cu, Co,
Na and K preferentially partition into chlorite. Cu and Mo are not readily accommodated in epidote. Overall,
the maximum Ti contents of chlorite and epidote are an excellent, positively-correlated, proxy for alteration
temperature.

Spatial trends in mineral chemistry can be readily explained by the partitioning of elements between the
alteration fluid and the stable alteration mineral assemblage under changing physicochemical conditions.
With increasing distance from magmatic-hydrothermal centres, the identified trends reflect a decrease in
temperature and S2 together with the associated influence of such variables on pH and the extent of wall
rock interaction. O2 may also increase away from deposits based on consideration of the observed mineral
assemblage. This interpretation, along with the documented systematic dispersal of hypogene elements
across the propylitic facies and their residence within propylitic minerals, strongly suggests that the entire
alteration system around porphyry deposits is driven by a magmatically-derived ore fluid.

The existence of systematic trends in chlorite and epidote chemistry, combined with an understanding of
which physicochemical variables control them, has the potential to be utilised as a powerful tool in mineral
exploration.

5. TRACING THE SOURCE OF PROPYLITIC ALTERATION FLUIDS: AN
OXYGEN, HYDROGEN AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPE STUDY

5.1 I NTRODUCTION
The obvious spatial coincidence between porphyry-
style mineralisation, potassic alteration and
porphyritic intrusions led to the early concept that
heat, metals and the mineralising fluid itself may be
derived from the underlying magmas (e.g. Lindgren,
1905; Ransome, 1919; Emmons, 1927). Subsequent
pioneering studies, including experimental work
(e.g. Burnham and Jahns, 1962; Jahns and Burnham,
1969; Shinohara, 1994; Burnham, 1997), fluid
inclusion (e.g. Roedder, 1971 and compilations by
Roedder, 1984; Bodnar et al. 2014) and isotopic
investigations (e.g. Sheppard et al., 1971; Sheppard
and Gustafson, 1976), have since firmly established
the presence of a magmatic fluid in porphyry
systems. Indeed, it is now universally accepted that
mineralisation and potassic alteration are driven by
the focused, often periodic, release of large volumes
of magmatic fluids into the shallow crust (e.g. Ulrich
et al., 2002; Spencer et al., 2015).

Although propylitic alteration is generally thought to


be contemporaneous with the potassic alteration Fig. 5.1 – Schematic cross section through a porphyry-
style deposit, illustrating the current paradigm in which
zone it encloses, an enduring concept in porphyry convectively circulating meteoric waters are the driver of
deposit models is that meteoric waters drive the propylitic, and most sericitic alteration. Meteoric and
magmatic waters effectively mix across the transition
propylitic domain (Fig. 5.1; Seedorff et al., 2005; from potassic or sericitic alterations zones into the
propylitic domain. Modified from Seedorff et al. (2005).
Sillitoe, 2010). In this view, meteoric fluids generate
propylitic alteration assemblages as they are heated on a flow path toward thermal centres during
convective circulation around porphyry intrusions. Consequently, the boundary between meteoric and
magmatic fluid flow is frequently envisaged to be at the transition from the potassic to propylitic domains
(e.g. Proffett, 2003; Yang et al., 2009; Halley et al., 2015; Fekete et al., 2016). This interpretation of propylitic
alteration appears to have originated based on limited and inconclusive studies of North American

151
porphyry Cu deposits (Bowman et al., 1987; Norman et al., 1991; Dilles et al., 1992), at a time when the
potentially significant role of meteoric water in these systems was emphasised (e.g. Taylor, 1974) and the
metasomatic effect of propylitic alteration was considered negligible (e.g. Meyer and Hemley, 1967).

However, there is a growing body of evidence that challenges the historically proposed significance of
meteoric fluids in forming propylitic alteration. Mass balance calculations reveal this alteration domain is
consistently associated with metasomatic addition of metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Pb (e.g. Chapter 3;
Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Derakhshani and Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm et al., 2014). Trace sulphides
may exist throughout the facies and metasomatic addition of other elements (e.g. K, Cu) can also occur in
strong propylitic alteration. Indeed, the spatial coincidence between propylitic alteration and whole rock
base metal geochemical anomalies surrounding porphyry deposits has long been observed (e.g. Jerome,
1966; Cox et al., 1975; Jones, 1992; Zaluski et al., 1994; Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002). Only recently though
have trace element studies shown that elements including Mn, Zn, Pb, Ti, V, Co, Sb, As and Bi frequently
reside at elevated concentrations in the ubiquitous alteration minerals epidote and chlorite (Chapter 4;
Cooke et al., 2014a; Wilkinson et al., 2015). This work has also demonstrated how the concentration of these
elements and others (e.g. Cu, Al, Si, Fe, Mg, Ca, Li, Ba, Sr) within epidote and/or chlorite display a remarkably
systematic spatial variation around porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal centres. Such apparent hypogene
dispersion of ore-related elements and their incorporation directly within propylitic alteration minerals is
strong evidence that the alteration facies is driven by a cooling, spent porphyry ore fluid of magmatic origin
as it migrates away from the thermal centre. This is further supported by δ13C investigations of calcite from
propylitically-altered rocks which document the incorporation of magmatic CO2 in the alteration fluid
(Ramírez et al., 2006; Djouka-Fonkwé et al., 2012).

The aim of this chapter is therefore to test the existing ‘porphyry paradigm’. Is propylitic alteration driven
exclusively by meteoric water? Are magmatic fluids restricted to the potasically-altered core of porphyry
systems? These questions are answered through investigation of the O, H and Sr isotopic composition of
key alteration minerals to trace the source(s) of the alteration fluids at Northparkes, principally around the
E48 deposit.

152
5.2 A PPROACH
A suite of fourteen epidote and fourteen chlorite mineral separates from samples across the propylitic
alteration zone surrounding the E48 deposit were analysed to determine their oxygen and hydrogen
isotopic compositions. One additional epidote and two chlorite separates were obtained from regional
metamorphic samples for comparison. The major element composition of all epidote and chlorite
separates is known from previous SEM-EDS analyses (Table 5.1). The oxygen isotope compositions of a
further nine quartz separates from propylitic veins, along with five quartz and five magnetite separates
from potassic veins, were also determined to facilitate isotope geothermometry, based on quartz-epidote,
quartz-chlorite and quartz-magnetite pairs. Where O-isotope geothermometry was not possible, the most
applicable chlorite geothermometer was used to estimate sample formation temperatures. These data
help define the thermal gradient associated with alteration and enable calculation of the δ18O and δD
values of the propylitic alteration fluid itself. To provide extra constraints, fluid δD was also determined
directly by bulk decrepitation of fluid inclusions in four selected quartz vein samples. Fluid δ18O and δD
were then compared against the modelled range that might be expected for magmatic or meteoric waters
undergoing progressive exchange with the host rocks. To inform the modelling, δ18O and δD were
determined for several whole rock samples.
87
Sr/86Sr and 87Rb/86Sr ratios were determined for fifteen epidote and ten selected whole rock samples of
freshest composition, the latter representing the biotite quartz monzonite (BQM), alkali feldspar granite
(AFG) and trachyandesites (AND). These data permitted Rb-Sr age dating of the E48 deposit and thus
calculation of the initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the samples. The isotopic composition of Sr in epidote can also be
compared with that of either magmatic or country rocks to help trace the fluid source. Furthermore, Sr is a
sensitive indicator of the involvement of other isotopically distinct components such as seawater in the
hydrothermal system.

number of SEM-EDS spectra, calculated using 28 oxygen equivalents for chlorite and 12.5 for epidote. For the latter, all Fe
is assumed to be Fe3+ in accordance with mineralogical preference; for the former, ivAl/viAl and Fe2+/Fe3+ are calculated
based on stoichiometry. Further, where available, the Ti content of samples determined from LA-ICP-MS is also given. The
composition of minerals shown in italics was not directly determined, rather their composition is given as the average of
spatially adjacent sample(s), as denoted in superscript: 1 = NP12AP040 and NP12AP045; 2 = NP12AP096 and NP12AP098;

isotope analysis, as their composition is used to estimate formation temperatures (via chlorite geothermometry) for
coexisting epidote.

154
5.3 M ETHODOLOGY AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
5.3.1 Sample collection and preparation
Alteration samples were collected based on three
main considerations: 1) their ability to provide
suitably coarse and clean grains of alteration
minerals; 2) textural evidence of isotopic
equilibrium, i.e. coexisting phases in veins/vugs
and/or intergrown aggregates of quartz-epidote-
chlorite; and 3) to provide spatial coverage
around E48 (Fig. 5.2). Whole rock samples were
collected from the freshest/least altered examples
of the most homogeneous lithologies.

For production of mineral separates, the most


appropriate part(s) of the overall sample (i.e. vein
centres or areas of particularly coarse-grained
alteration) were selectively cut out to pre-
concentrate material. All samples were then jaw
crushed. To ensure maximum liberation of
mineral grains, and avoid over-crushing, jaw
spacing was progressively decreased and sample
material dry-sieved between each phase of
comminution, with only the coarsest size fractions
being crushed further. This was repeated until all
sample material was <1.5 mm, at which point the
Fig. 5.2 – Mapped distribution of propylitic mineral samples
entire sample was wet-sieved with deionised relative to known porphyry resources; elements/isotopes
were analysed as indicated, see also Table 5.1. O-isotope
water to produce a series of clean final size pairs are those used for isotope geothermometry. Note
because the potassic core of the E48 deposit is largely
fractions.
sericitically overprinted, two quartz-magnetite samples were
collected from E26 to complement the dataset.
‘Whole rock’ samples were collected from the size
fractions most amenable to later analytical techniques: those for Sr-isotope analysis were typically
composed of the 75-150 μm fraction, whereas those for O- and H-isotope analysis were typically from the
150-250 μm fraction. However, the size fraction corresponding to complete liberation of single mineral
phases varied depending on sample characteristics and the mineral of interest. For the majority of samples,
epidote, chlorite and quartz were most effectively liberated between 150-250 μm, although occasional
clean grains were present in the 250-500 μm fraction. An exception was vein quartz, in which pure
fragments 0.5-1 mm were sometimes obtained. Magnetite was mostly liberated only in grains <150 μm.

155
Magnetite separates were produced by mixing crushed material into deionised water and removing
magnetite selectively with a hand magnet; the process was repeated until the separate was >99% pure by
visual examination under an optical microscope. To produce epidote, chlorite and quartz separates, the
relevant size fractions were initially passed through a Frantz Isodynamic Magnetic Separator at various
currents, yielding further grain fractions dominated by the mineral of interest. Final separates where then
hand-picked from these pre-concentrated fractions under an optical microscope to ensure purity.
Separates for O-isotope analysis were picked to an apparent purity of ~99% based on visual examination;
those for Sr- and H-isotope analysis to ~97%, as significantly more material was required.

To independently check the purity of separates, and identify possible contaminants, several samples were
analysed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), utilising an Enraf-Nonius powder diffraction system 120 diffractometer
and INEL 120° curved position-sensitive detector at the Natural History Museum, London. Powdered
sample was placed on a zero background sapphire substrate and measured for 30 minutes in reflection
geometry, with a fixed angle between the X-ray tube, sample holder and detector. Co-Kα1 radiation was
generated under operating conditions of 40 KV and 40 mA, and confined by a germanium primary beam
monochromator and slit system to produce an X-ray beam of 0.14 x 5 mm, incident at an angle of 4° to the
sample surface. Angular linearity of the detector was calibrated using silver behenate and silicon standards.

These investigations confirmed the identification of epidote, quartz, magnetite and chlorite (as ferroan
clinochlore). All separates were either pure or contained minor quartz; in addition, minor hematite was
identified in some magnetite separates and minor chalcopyrite identified in some epidote and chlorite
separates (Fig. 5.3). Overall, however, samples were shown to be of high purity and suitable for isotopic
analysis.

5.3.2 Oxygen isotopes


All oxygen and hydrogen isotope analyses were conducted at the Scottish Universities Environmental
Research Centre (SUERC), Glasgow. Oxygen isotope analyses were facilitated via laser fluorination, using
ClF3 as the fluorinating agent, and based largely on the methodology of Sharp (1990). Prior to analysis,
chlorite separates and whole rock samples were heated to 200oC for >14 hours (i.e. overnight) under
vacuum to remove any adsorbed water. Further, regardless of mineralogy, all samples were pre-fluorinated
overnight, under vacuum in the sample chamber, to remove any reactive contaminants. Typically, 2-3 mg
of epidote, quartz, chlorite and whole rock grains were required to yield an appropriate quantity of O2/CO2,
increasing to ~7 mg for magnetite.

Oxygen was liberated from samples by direct heating with an infrared laser in the presence of ClF3 under
vacuum. Released oxygen was then passed through liquid N2 cold traps and a hot mercury diffusion pump
(i.e. fluorine-getter) before conversion to CO2 by Pt-catalysed reaction with a heated carbon rod. The
volume of CO2 produced was calculated from calibrated manometer readings and used to check against
expected yield. The CO2 18O/16O ratio was analysed on a VG Isotech SIRA series II dual inlet isotope ratio

156
mass spectrometer (IRMS). All data are reported in standard delta notation, relative to Vienna Standard
Mean Ocean Water (V-SMOW).

optical purity for H-isotope analysis. Statistically significant peaks are highlighted in the peak list, facilitating
identification of those phases indicated, based on their expected peak positions and relative intensities (coloured lines).

157
For each batch of 9 or fewer samples, 3 internal O-isotope standards were analysed: quartz (TOR1, δ18OVSMOW
= 9.6‰), garnet (GP147, δ18OVSMOW = 7.3‰) and olivine (SCXO, δ18OVSMOW = 5.2‰). These standards were
selected based on their disparate and well-established δ18OVSMOW values (determined by calibration to
external reference standards). Thus, for each analytical batch, internal standards provided a robust 3-point
calibration line, used to calculate the δ18O VSMOW of samples. In all cases, this calibration line possessed an R2
value of >0.99.

Average values obtained for internal standards were: TOR1 δ18O VSMOW = 9.6 ± 0.1‰ (n = 12, 1σ, average O2
yield of 94 ± 2% assuming pure quartz), GP147 δ18O VSMOW = 7.3 ± 0.2‰ (n = 10, 1σ, average O2 yield of 98 ±
2% assuming pure grossular garnet) and SCXO δ18O VSMOW = 5.3 ± 0.1‰ (n = 8, 1σ, average O2 yield of 92 ±
2% assuming pure forsterite). Within error, these values match the preferred long-term, externally-
calibrated laboratory averages given above, demonstrating analytical accuracy and a typical precision of ±
0.1‰.

5.3.3 Hydrogen isotopes


Hydrogen isotope analysis was facilitated by in-vacuo thermal dehydration of minerals (epidote and
chlorite) or thermal decrepitation of trapped inclusion fluids (quartz). Typically, 25-35 mg of chlorite, ~70
mg of epidote and ~1 g of quartz were required to yield an appropriate quantity of H2.

Initially, each sample was placed into an inert Pt crucible within a glass vial and heated via a hotplate to
120oC for >14 hours while pumped under vacuum. This ensured any adsorbed or atmospheric moisture
was removed from both the sample container and epidote or quartz separates; chlorite however may still
retain adsorbed water at such temperatures (e.g. Revell Phillips, 1963). Thus, prior to this stage, chlorite
separates and whole rock samples were also heated at 200oC under vacuum overnight to guarantee its
removal.

To liberate structurally bound water for analysis, samples were inductively heated, again under vacuum, to
~1,000oC for chlorite and ~1,250oC for epidote, with temperature measured via optical pyrometry on the
Pt crucible. Following the results of Grant et al. (2003) and Gleeson et al. (2008), fluid inclusions in quartz
were thermally decrepitated at 750oC, using an electric furnace continually monitored by a digital
temperature probe. This comparatively low temperature helps avoid liberation of OH from possible defect
sites in the quartz structure itself. All samples were heated for 40 minutes, with liberated gases passing
through a liquid N2 condenser to trap the H2O and CO2 produced; remaining non-condensable gases were
directed using a standard Topler pump into an active strain gauge manometer. In this way, the reaction
progress was monitored throughout the 40 minute period, with the majority of samples clearly fully
dehydrated by ~30 minutes.

Following cessation of heating, frozen CO2 was separated from frozen H2O by replacing the liquid N2
condensing trap with a CO2 slush trap (dry ice-acetone mixture), allowing CO2 to boil and be pumped to
vacuum. Retained frozen H2O was then released, and reduced to H2 by passing through a Cr-furnace of the

158
design described by Donnelly et al. (2001). The H2 produced was again directed by the Topler pump into
the calibrated manometer to measure the gas yield, before being collected in a sample tube. The H2 D/H
ratio was subsequently analysed on a VG Optima dual inlet IRMS; again all results are reported in standard
delta notation, relative to V-SMOW.

Three water standards of well-known, but disparate δD values were analysed and used to calibrate the
above procedure prior to running any samples: Greenland Ice Sheet Precipitation/GISP (external standard,
δDVSMOW = -189.5‰), snow melt (internal standard, δDVSMOW = -123.6‰) and seawater (internal standard,
δDVSMOW = -6‰). The resulting linear calibration showed R2 = 0.999. Snow melt, for which δD is most similar
to that of the samples, was also analysed periodically to ensure the initial calibration remained valid; these
replicate analyses yielded δDVSMOW = -122.0 ± 1.6‰ (n = 5; 1σ), thus were within error of the preferred value,
demonstrating a high degree of analytical accuracy with a precision less than ± 2‰.

5.3.4 Strontium and rubidium isotopes


All Sr and Rb isotope analyses were conducted at the Natural Environment Research Council Isotope
Geosciences Laboratories (NIGL) at the British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham. Sr and Rb was
extracted from samples by acid digestion and column chemistry.

For each sample, approximately 20 mg of epidote separate, or 150 mg of whole rock power, was weighed
into 15 ml Teflon beakers. Subsequently, whole rock samples were leached in warm 6M HCl to liberate any
labile Sr into solution; the leachate was discarded via centrifuging and the samples dried and reweighed
to quantify any loss. 84Sr and 87Rb isotope tracers were weighed and added to all samples, along with a
mixture of 1-2 ml of 16M HNO3 and 5-10 ml of 29M HF. Beakers were then sealed and left on a hotplate at
105oC for one week to facilitate complete sample dissolution. After this period, samples were evaporated
to dryness before a further 1-2 ml of HNO3 was added to the beakers, which were left on the hotplate
overnight. Samples were then converted into chloride form by addition of 10 ml of calibrated 2.5M HCl in
preparation for column chemistry.

1 ml of sample solution was pipetted onto a quartz-glass column which contained 4 ml of EICHROM
AG50x8 cation exchange resin, and washed into the column using 1 ml of calibrated 2.5M HCl. Matrix
elements were washed off the column using a further 24 ml of 2.5M HCl, and discarded. Rb was collected
in a subsequent 6 ml of 2.5M HCl. Ca was next eluted and discarded in 18 ml of 2.5M HCl, before Sr was
collected in 12 ml of 2.5M HCl, and evaporated to dryness.

Rb fractions were loaded onto one side of an outgassed double Re filament using 0.6M HCl and analysed
using a Thermo-Scientific Triton thermal ionisation mass spectrometer (TIMS) in static multi-collection
mode. Sr fractions were loaded onto outgassed single Re filaments using a TaO activator solution and
analysed in a Thermo-Electron Triton TIMS in multi-dynamic mode; data are normalised to 86Sr/88Sr =
0.1194.

159
Replicate analyses (n = 26) of the NBS987 standard yielded 87Sr/86Sr = 0.710254 ± 0.000004 (6 ppm, 1σ),
which is within error of both the certified value (0.710340 ± 0.000260) and long term laboratory average
(0.710250). The natural Columbia River Basalt rock standard (BCR-2) was also treated and analysed as for
samples, returning values of 44 ppm Rb and 334 ppm Sr, in good agreement with the certified ranges of
48 ± 2 ppm and 346 ± 14 ppm respectively. Consequently, data were accurate and no secondary calibration
was required; analytical precision in 87Sr/86Sr is to the 5th or 6th decimal place.

5.4 ISOTOPE DATA


Results of O- and H-isotope analyses are provided in Table 5.2; those of Rb- and Sr-isotope analyses in Table
5.3. Based on 21 replicate O-isotope analyses and 5 replicate H-isotope analyses, standard errors (1σ) for
mineral separates, arising from a combination of both analytical uncertainty and within-sample variability,
are ± 0.2‰ and ± 2‰ respectively.

5.4.1 Oxygen isotope data

Quartz
For all quartz separates, the oxygen yield was excellent, averaging 96% at 15.9 μM/mg (n = 21), compared
to a theoretical 100% yield of 16.6 μM/mg for pure SiO2. Five quartz separates were analysed twice, and
one separate analysed three times. On average, all such repeats were within ± 0.4‰ of the initial value.
Quartz samples from propylitic alteration displayed an average δ18OVSMOW = 9.0‰ (in the range of
7.4-10.8‰), as did those from potassic veins (in the range of 8.1-10.6‰).

Magnetite
Magnetite separates consistently gave a relatively low oxygen yield of 75% at 6.4 μM/mg (n = 8), compared
to a theoretical 100% yield of 8.6 μM/mg for pure Fe3O4. This is unlikely to be a result of impurities as most
samples were particularly pure in XRD determinations. Furthermore, the presence of minor hematite
and/or quartz would not result in a lower yield. Rather, this is interpreted as a result of the spinel structure
of magnetite, which makes total liberation of oxygen difficult. Three separates were analysed twice,
suggesting a typical standard error of ± 0.25‰. All samples represent potassic alteration, with an average
δ18OVSMOW = 1.7‰, and range from 0.7-2.5‰.

Epidote
The average oxygen yield of epidote was 93% at 12.6 μM/mg (n = 23); theoretical 100% yield was calculated
for each sample individually, with an average of 13.6 μM/mg. These calculations were based on the SEM-
EDS compositional data provided in Table 5.1 and assume 100% purity of the separate. A yield of 93% is
generally excellent from epidote, because Ca may also react with ClF3 during laser heating to form stable
fluorite (CaF2) which can inhibit further liberation of O2 from grain centres. Seven separates were analysed
twice and one separate three times, and indicate a typical standard error of ± 0.2‰. Propylitic epidote
shows an average δ18OVSMOW = 3.2‰, in the range of 1.9-4.3‰, contrasting with the metamorphic epidote
separate in which δ18OVSMOW = 7.6‰.

160
Chlorite
Chlorite oxygen yields averaged an excellent 95%, at 14.0 μM/mg (n = 21), compared to a theoretical
average of 14.7 μM/mg. Again, theoretical yields were calculated based on SEM-EDS compositional data
(Table 5.1) for each sample. The lowest yield was 74% for NP13AP249; however, a repeat of this sample
with a 98% yield gave a value only 0.2‰ different to the original. In total, five samples were repeated,
based on which the standard error is typically ± 0.2‰. Propylitic chlorite samples gave an average
δ18OVSMOW = 2.1‰, and range from 0.8-3.1‰, in contrast with the isotopically heavier metamorphic chlorite
samples, which averaged 6.1‰.

Whole rocks
Of an initial ten whole rock samples prepared, only two were analysed successfully (NP13AP027 and
NP13AP283), with an average oxygen yield of 11.0 μM/mg; both were also satisfactorily repeated, with
repeat data <0.6‰ different from initial results. Despite overnight pre-fluorination, remaining samples still
produced anomalously high yields (>30 μM/mg) indicating contamination by moisture from reactive
phases, most probably clays. These samples cannot yield fresh igneous compositions and hence were not
analysed. Consequently, data are only available for a sample of fresh BQM with δ18OVSMOW = 5.8‰ and
reasonably fresh, but still hematite reddened, AFG with δ18OVSMOW = 9.2‰.

centre of E48 is provided for all mineral separates, except those indicated (E26), which are samples of potassic alteration
from a porphyry intrusion of that system (Fig. 5.2) and thus distances are to the E26 centre. The latter were collected as the

5.4.2 Hydrogen isotope data

Epidote
On average, epidote separates yielded 90% H2 at 0.94 μM/mg (n = 17) compared to a theoretical 100% yield
of 1.04 μM/mg based on SEM-EDS compositional data. However, such theoretical yield calculations assume
100% purity and perfect stoichiometric quantities of OH. This average analytical yield approximately
corresponds to 1.7 wt. % H2O in epidote; analytical totals of all 3,856 SEM-EDS analyses of epidote from the
district (Appendix G) averaged 97.1 wt. %. Thus both values are in good agreement, combining to an
average major element total of ~99 wt. %. These calculations imply the H contribution of any fluid
inclusions present in epidote is negligible.

Replicate analyses of two epidote separates produced δDVSMOW values that were 5.1‰ and 2.2‰ different
to initial results, indicating a standard error of approximately ± 2‰. All propylitic epidote samples show
an average δDVSMOW = -67‰, but range from -52‰ to -86‰; metamorphic epidote returned δDVSMOW
= -58‰.

Chlorite
Out of necessity, chlorite separates were weighed
prior to removal of adsorbed water, so as to minimise
the time available for resorption of atmospheric
moisture during later handling. Consequently, the
calculated yields of H2 from chlorite consistently
appear slightly low, averaging only 69% at 4.53
μM/mg (n = 18), compared to the average theoretical
100% yield of 6.53 μM/mg. Further, yield calculations
also assume 100% purity and stoichiometric OH, with
the latter in chlorite often partly replaced by F. Fig. 5.4 – Chlorite δD vs. Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio (from Table
Regardless, yields were relatively consistent, in the 5.1), lacking any distinct correlation.

range 3.0-5.7 μM/mg, and provided a useful check on the analytical procedure.

Replicate analysis of three separates provided repeat results only 4.6‰, 2.8‰ and 1.2‰ different from
initial results, suggesting that standard error is typically around ± 1.4‰. All propylitic chlorite returned
δDVSMOW values over a highly limited range of -50‰ to -66‰, at an average of -59‰. The two metamorphic
samples analysed were isotopically lighter, with an average δDVSMOW = -68‰.

Unlike previous suggestions by Marumo et al. (1980), there is no obvious preference toward isotopically
lighter compositions for those chlorites with higher Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios (Fig. 5.4).

164
Quartz
As quartz is not an OH-bearing mineral, a theoretical hydrogen yield cannot be calculated; rather it
depends on the abundance and size of fluid inclusions present. The two quartz separates from potassic
veins were the most fluid rich, each yielding 0.09 μM of H2 per mg, approximately equivalent to 0.16 wt. %
contained H2O; the average δDVSMOW of these fluids was -61‰. The average H2 yield of the two quartz
separates from propylitic veins was 0.06 μM/mg, approximately equivalent to 0.11 wt. % contained H2O;
the average δDVSMOW of these fluids was -69‰.

Whole rocks
H2 yield from all six whole rock samples averaged an acceptable 0.45 μM/mg, approximately equivalent to
0.8 wt. % contained H2O. Combined, the analyses give an average δDVSMOW = -74‰, with AND = -73‰, AFG
= -80‰ and BQM = -69‰. Although no repeat analyses were conducted, each lithology was represented
by two samples which differed in δDVSMOW by ~20‰. These comparatively large disparities, and analytical
difficulties in acquiring reliable O-isotope data for the same samples, suggest whole rock results are quite
variable and should be treated with caution.

5.4.3 Rubidium and strontium isotope data


Rb- and Sr-isotope sample information and results
are provided in Table 5.3. Propylitic epidote
samples contained on average 29 ppm Rb and
1,800 ppm Sr, although each show a wide range of
2-113 ppm and 575-3,079 ppm respectively. There
is no systematic spatial variation in the
concentration of either element in epidote around
the E48 deposit. By comparison to deposit
samples, the metamorphic epidote separate
analysed contained far less Rb (0.32 ppm) and far

NP13AP318 is an obvious outlier and therefore is readily identified to be of different age and paragenesis.
Although not a precise isochron (which would require MSWD ≤2), this relationship supports a limited time
interval between volcanism, emplacement of plutonic rocks and hydrothermal activity, suggesting a
common origin at approximately 450 ± 11 Ma. If plutonic rock samples and subsequently formed propylitic
epidote separates are considered separately, the resulting isochrons imply formation ages of 456 ± 14 Ma
and 452 ± 29 Ma respectively. Thus, within error, all results are indistinguishable. These age estimates are

165
in good agreement with U-Pb dating of five hydrothermal zircons developed during propylitic alteration,
which provided an independent age of 454.3 ± 3.0 Ma (see section 2.7). Zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP) dating of the
BQM by Lickfold et al. (2007) suggested its emplacement at 444.2 ± 4.7 Ma, and Ar/Ar dating of biotite
alteration associated with mineralisation at E26 gave a result of 441.3 ± 3.8 (Lickfold et al., 2003), both also
within error of the age (450 ± 11 Ma) defined above.

Calculation of the initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of propylitic epidote samples (Table 5.3), based on an age of 450 Ma,
yields remarkably consistent values of 0.7041-0.7046, with an average of 0.704212, overlapping with and
extending to slightly higher values than the igneous whole rocks analysed (0.7041-0.7043).

5.5 D ETERMINING THE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT IN PORPHYRY SYSTEMS
In order to calculate the O- and H-isotopic composition of alteration fluids in equilibrium with alteration
minerals, reliable estimates of the formation temperature are required. Here, temperatures are geologically
constrained and calculated based on O-isotope geothermometry, supplemented by chlorite
geothermometry.

5.5.1 Independent temperature constraints


Broad temperature constraints can be obtained from the observed changes in the alteration mineral
assemblages within porphyry systems. Minimum formation temperatures are also provided by
homogenisation temperatures (Th) of fluid inclusions from mineralised veins.

Potassic alteration
The maximum temperature in the potassically-altered core of porphyry systems is limited by the water-
saturated solidus of the felsic melts, from which the magmatic aqueous fluid exsolved. For water-saturated
granitic melts this implies temperatures of ~750oC at pressures of 1 kbar within the shallow crust (e.g.
Huang and Wyllie, 1973; Ebadi and Johannes, 1991; Johannes and Holtz, 1996). However, it is noted that
the presence of certain species such as F and B may lower the solidus further (e.g. Manning, 1981). At
Northparkes, there is strong geological evidence of the magmatic-hydrothermal transition, with aplitic
QMP frequently intergrown with irregular segregations of quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide ± anhydrite ± fluorite
or, in other examples, quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite. Aplitic vein dykes with coarse segregations and
central intergrowths of hydrothermal quartz-K-feldspar-sulphide are also common, as are intrusive
breccias cemented by a mix of aplite-quartz-K-feldspar-bornite (Chapter 2). Such observations
demonstrate a clear link between high temperature magmatic fluids and potassic alteration.

Fluid inclusion homogenisation temperatures from quartz in these various transitional magmatic-
hydrothermal phenomena at Northparkes were reported by Lickfold et al. (2003) to average approximately
500oC, but frequently were recorded as >650oC. Heithersay and Walshe (1995) obtained higher values, with
an average Th for inclusions in the aplitic vein dykes of ~800oC, and in other magmatic-hydrothermal
features of ~700oC. For the main-stage, sulphide-bearing, quartz-stockwork veins, Lickfold et al. (2003)
reported an average Th of ~500oC, again with many analyses >650oC; for the same veins, Heithersay and
Walshe (1995) reported an average Th of ~600oC. In a review of fluid inclusions from porphyry copper
deposits, Bodnar et al. (2014) suggested Th values >600oC in veins associated with potassic alteration
should be much more common than often reported, simply because this is the upper temperature limit of
many fluid inclusion stages.

Propylitic alteration
Based on a worldwide review of modern geothermal systems, Bird and Spieler (2004) showed that epidote
is typically only an abundant phase at temperatures exceeding ~250oC and remains so to >350oC; chlorite
is typically observed in the range of ~120-400oC, although phase relationships indicate it can be stable to

167
~550oC (e.g. Reed et al., 2013). Epidote grain size/coarseness has also been shown to be directly
proportional to temperature (e.g. Patrier et al., 1990; Beaufort et al., 1992). Given that formation of albite is
often driven by conversion of the plagioclase anorthite component into epidote, then phase relationships,
assuming hematite saturation at a pressure of 500 bars, suggest that coexisting high Fe epidote (i.e. XEp
>0.9), albite and hematite define a lower temperature limit of ~350oC (Beane and Titley, 1981). For stability
at lower temperatures, the Fe-content of epidote and/or anorthite component of plagioclase must
decrease. The upper temperature limit of this assemblage is ~425oC, at which point coexisting Fe-rich
garnet and anorthite are thermodynamically more stable phases.

Only limited data are available for fluid inclusions from veins relating to propylitic alteration, but most
homogenisation temperatures (i.e. minimum constraints for alteration temperatures) are within the range
of 100-500oC (Bodnar et al., 2014). At North Silver Bell, Arizona, the highest homogenisation temperatures
of 375oC were documented in the transition from potassic to propylitic alteration, progressively decreasing
outwards to 232oC, marked by the disappearance of epidote, and ultimately 193oC in the outer, chlorite-
dominated propylitic zone (Ballantyne, 1981). Similarly, Norman et al. (1991) recorded an outwards
decrease in Th from 351 to 160oC across the propylitic zone of an Oligocene porphyry deposit in SW Tintic,
Utah. At Bingham, Utah, this outwards decrease in Th is from approximately 450oC to 350oC (Bowman et al.,
1987). At El Teniente, Chile, Th values from two propylitic epidote-quartz vein samples were between 247-
338oC (J.J. Wilkinson, 2014, pers. comm.).

5.5.2 Magnetite-quartz geothermometry


Several studies have investigated oxygen isotope fractionation, as a function of temperature, between
both quartz and water (Fig. 5.6a) and magnetite and water (Fig. 5.6b). For investigations in the quartz-water
system, mineral-fluid fractionation has been calculated theoretically (e.g. Shiro and Sakai, 1972; Bottinga
and Javoy, 1973; Zheng, 1993a), calibrated empirically (e.g. Sharp and Kirschner, 1994), and directly
measured through experimental approaches (e.g. Matsuhisa et al., 1979; Zhang et al., 1989; Hu and Clayton,
2003). Generally, the experimental calibrations are most applicable to the study of natural quartz-water
systems, and the calibration of Zhang et al. (1989) is particularly relevant to investigation of mineralised
hydrothermal systems. This study was based directly on hydrothermal crystallisation of quartz over
temperatures of 250-550oC at pressures of 0.7-0.8 kbar, and in the presence of several dissolved salts typical
of natural fluids. By comparison, other experimental work has been conducted at highly elevated pressures
(>5-20 kbar) and/or using pure water (e.g. Matsuhisa et al., 1979). The Zhang et al. (1989) fractionation
equation also provides an excellent ‘middle-ground’ between most other calibrations (Fig. 5.6a).

For the magnetite-water system, Bottinga and Javoy (1973) provided a theoretically-based fractionation
equation, assuming any anharmonicity of magnetite lattice vibrations are negligible. This was empirically
calibrated to the dataset of Anderson et al. (1971), which comprised δ18O measurements of coexisting
minerals in mafic igneous rocks. Cole et al. (2004) provided an experimentally-derived calibration, and also

168
showed how the presence of NaCl has limited effect on the magnetite-water system. However, these
experiments were subject to potential kinetic effects as they utilised redox reactions to achieve isotopic
equilibrium rather than diffusion, owing to the low diffusion coefficient of magnetite. Zheng (1991) used
the modified increment method to calculate a theoretical magnetite-water calibration; this method avoids
any problems associated with reaction kinetics and does not require accurate spectroscopic data of
magnetite vibrational frequencies, which are difficult to obtain due to its opacity. The Zheng (1991)
equation again provides a ‘middle-ground’ between the other fractionation equations and is the preferred
calibration in this study. Based on similar calculations, Becker and Clayton (1976) also determined the
expected oxygen isotope fractionation between magnetite and water at several fixed temperatures, with
results most similar to those of Zheng (1991) (Fig. 5.6b), but did not publish a full fractionation equation.

Rather than geothermometry based on combined quartz-water and magnetite-water calibrations, several
direct quartz-magnetite geothermometers have also been proposed. Bottinga and Javoy (1975) suggested
a semi-empirical calibration based on measurement of coexisting minerals in igneous and metamorphic
rocks. However, the suitability of this for the study of hydrothermal systems is uncertain. Perhaps more
applicable is the experimental calibration of Chiba et al. (1989), and theoretical calibration of Clayton and
Keiffer (1991) which was tied back to experimental studies. However, the experiments of Chiba et al. (1989)
were at particularly high pressures (15 kbar) and again subject to possible kinetic effects, because
equilibration involved crystallisation of magnetite. The calculations of Clayton and Keiffer (1991) rely on an
estimate of the magnetite partition function ratio given a lack of accurate spectroscopic data. Furthermore,
if these direct quartz-magnetite calibrations are utilised to calculate temperatures, a separately derived
mineral-water calibration must be employed to estimate the isotopic composition of the alteration fluid
itself.

Temperatures are therefore calculated here based on combined use of the quartz-water calibration of
Zhang et al. (1989) and magnetite-water calibration of Zheng (1991) (Table 5.4). Nevertheless, it is worth
highlighting that temperatures calculated using the direct quartz-magnetite calibrations of Chiba et al.
(1989) and Clayton and Keiffer (1991) are within only ± 13oC of these estimates, being consistently slightly
higher and lower respectively, thus corroborating the results.

5.5.3 Chlorite-quartz geothermometry


Wenner and Taylor (1971) provided the first equations linking temperature and δ18O for the chlorite-water
and chlorite-quartz systems. However, these were only empirical estimates based on measurements of
coexisting chlorite, quartz, muscovite, ilmenite and magnetite in serpentinised ultramafic rocks, calibrated
to temperature using several earlier equations derived for muscovite, ilmenite and magnetite. Subsequent
theoretical temperature calibrations for the chlorite-water system were given by Savin and Lee (1988),
using a refined version of the Taylor and Epstein (1962) bond-type calculation model, and by Zheng
(1993b) using the modified increment method.

169
The only experimental chlorite-water calibration was presented by Cole and Ripley (1998), who utilised
both partial exchange and hydrothermal granite-fluid alteration experiments in the temperature range of
170-350oC to provide fractionation data. This work is therefore well-constrained, particularly applicable to
the conditions of propylitic alteration, and again provides a good ‘middle-ground’ between other
calibrations (Fig. 5.6c). As such, it is the preferred calibration, used here in conjunction with the quartz-
water calibration of Zhang et al. (1989) discussed above.

Fig. 5.6 – Mineral-water isotope fractionation calibrations as discussed in section 5.5. (a-c) O-isotope fractionation in the
quartz-water, magnetite-water and chlorite water systems respectively; (d) H-isotope fractionation in the epidote-water
system. Preferred calibrations used in this study are shown as unbroken blue lines. Where specific fractionation data are
provided rather than an equation, these are shown as discrete data points arbitrarily joined by smoothed lines. Where
calibrations are extended outside of their specified experimental or theoretical temperature range they are shown in lighter
shades.

170
Temperature estimates obtained using these calibrations are, on average, within ± 16oC of those obtained
using the direct, empirical chlorite-quartz oxygen isotope geothermometer of Lacroix and Vennemann
(2015). The latter was based on measurement of chlorite and quartz in various metamorphic rocks, for
which independent temperature estimates were available. However, it is not preferred here as this
approach alone does not allow calculation of the alteration fluid δ18O composition. Nonetheless, good
agreement between the two is encouraging.

5.5.4 Epidote-quartz geothermometry


Oxygen isotope studies of the epidote-water system are limited. Matthews et al. (1983) first experimentally
investigated the zoisite (var. tanzanite)-water system; but their direct exchange experiments were
restricted to 600-700oC at 13.4 kbar and tanzanite is not strictly a member of the epidote group. Although
isotopic fractionation between zoisite-water and clinozoisite-water might be expected to be similar, all
epidote sampled from propylitic alteration is of the Fe-rich, true epidote end-member, and the substitution
of Fe for Al is expected to affect oxygen fractionation. The observed effect of this substitution on
fractionation in garnet (grossular-andradite) reported by Taylor and O'Neil (1977) was used by Matthews
and Schliestedt (1984) to modify earlier zoisite-water and quartz-water fractionation equations, providing
a direct epidote-quartz geothermometer. Subsequent isotope exchange experiments of grossular garnet
by Matthews (1994) were again combined with earlier zoisite-water data to give a revised version of this
epidote-quartz geothermometer.

However, Zheng (1993b) supplied the only true epidote-water oxygen isotope calibration, based on the
modified increment method. Given the numerous assumptions and extrapolations involved in the
equations of Matthews and Schliestedt (1984) and Matthews (1994), the Zheng (1993b) calibration is
preferred here, used in combination with the quartz-water equation of Zhang et al. (1989), discussed
above, to estimate formation temperatures and alteration fluid δ18O. However, all three approaches
provide good agreement: temperatures obtained are within ± 15oC (average ± 7oC), and within ± 19oC
(average ± 11oC), of those obtained using the Matthews and Schliestedt (1984) and Matthews (1994)
geothermometers respectively.

assemblages and fluid inclusion data.

5.5.6 Chlorite geothermometry


For samples where oxygen isotope
geothermometry was not possible (i.e. no quartz
separate could be produced), alteration
temperatures were estimated by chlorite
geothermometry based on SEM-EDS
compositional data. However, several such
empirical and theoretical geothermometers have
been previously proposed (e.g. Cathelineau and
Nieva, 1985; Walshe, 1986; Kranidiotis and
MacLean, 1987; Jowett, 1991), often with large
disagreement between results. To establish which
geothermometer is likely to be the most reliable in
the Northparkes context, they were first applied to
samples for which oxygen isotope temperatures
had been determined, and the results of each
technique compared (Fig. 5.8a).

Temperatures yielded by the equation of Jowett


(1991) show most similarity to those from isotope
geothermometry (Fig. 5.8a), hence results from Fig. 5.8 – Comparison of formation temperatures obtained

provides a broad approximation of alteration
temperatures.

5.5.7 Ti in chlorite geothermometry


The concentration of Ti in chlorite, determined by LA-ICP-MS, has been previously noted to display a
systematic reduction with spatial progression away from presumed high temperature deposit centres and
large veins (Chapter 2; Wilkinson et al. 2015). As the rocks always appear to contain ‘excess’ Ti during
alteration, evidenced as secondary rutile or titanite inclusions in chlorite, Ti activity is clearly always
sufficient during propylitic alteration to ensure an equilibrium level is attained in chlorite. Consequently,

173
inclusion of Ti in chlorite is thought to be
controlled largely by temperature alone.
Unfortunately, LA-ICP-MS compositional data are
only available for some of those samples with
formation temperatures calculated
independently using oxygen isotope
geothermometry. However, this limited dataset
does tenuously support the hypothesis, showing
a weak positive correlation between Ti
concentration and formation temperature (Fig.
5.8b). Clearly, this relationship could be further
investigated through future study of chlorite
containing a wider range of Ti concentrations.

via the Jowett (1991) chlorite geothermometry estimates would agree perfectly. Generally, there is excellent
agreement for δ18O, but uncertainties regarding hydrogen
equation was used to estimate fluid δ18O, based fractionation in the chlorite-water system (section 5.6.2)

In eight samples both coexisting epidote and chlorite were analysed, allowing two estimates of alteration
fluid δ18O composition to be calculated, one based on each mineral. On average these independent
estimates for a given sample are within 0.6‰ of one another, demonstrating an excellent agreement,
although typically fluid δ18O values obtained from chlorite are consistently slightly lower than those from
epidote (Fig. 5.9a).

5.6.2 Calculating alteration fluid δD

Epidote
Hydrogen isotope fractionation in the epidote-water system has only been investigated experimentally.
Initially, based on epidote-water equilibration at 150-650oC, it was suggested that, in pure water, hydrogen

174
fractionation was largely temperature independent above 300oC (Fig. 5.6d; Graham et al., 1980).
Conversely, in experiments where the salts NaCl and CaCl were introduced to the system, fractionation was
partially temperature sensitive throughout the studied range of 250-550oC, with saline conditions also
appearing to reduce the magnitude of mineral-fluid fractionation under most conditions (Graham and
Sheppard, 1980). Vennemann and O'Neil (1996) conducted alternative experiments in the epidote-H2
system between 150-400oC, although results had to be calibrated to the epidote-water system using
several other H2-water fractionation equations, with their associated uncertainty. In contrast to earlier work,
this study suggested a particularly strong temperature dependency for hydrogen fractionation between
epidote and pure water (Fig. 5.6d). However, all experiments involving exchange between fine mineral
powders and liquids/gas are highly sensitive to surface kinetic effects such as dissolution and re-
precipitation. Chacko et al. (1999) circumvented these effects: large epidote grains were used to investigate
the epidote-water system between 300-600oC, analysing only the outer edge of the grains, where isotope
exchange occurred exclusively by diffusional processes. The hydrogen calibration produced (Fig. 5.6d) was
evaluated by Pope (2011), using epidote-water fractionation data and known formation temperatures from
four modern geothermal systems, including the hypersaline Salton Sea system. Within experimental error,
the Chacko et al. (1999) calibration was capable of accounting for all observed fractionation in these
systems, hence it is perhaps the most reliable epidote-water hydrogen fractionation equation, and the only
one currently supported by empirical evidence. As such, it is used here to calculate the alteration fluid δD
based on measured epidote δD and formation temperatures from either oxygen isotope or chlorite
geothermometry.

Chlorite
Hydrogen isotope fractionation in the chlorite-water system is currently very poorly understood, partly
owing to the slow nature of isotopic exchange below ~500oC. Marumo et al. (1980) provided the first direct
study of the system, analysing chlorite from the <2 μm size fraction of samples collected in the Ohnuma
geothermal area, Japan. Fractionation was calculated assuming geothermal fluids had the same isotopic
composition as local meteoric water, then compared to measured/inferred temperatures and chlorite
chemistry. Results appeared to show fractionation was controlled partly by temperature, and was also
negatively correlated with chlorite Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio in the temperature range of 130-250oC, in agreement
with earlier suggestions by Suzuoki and Epstein (1976). Such a link between chlorite composition and
hydrogen isotope fractionation is not clearly supported by the Northparkes dataset (Fig. 5.4).

However, subsequent experimental work, combined with a compilation of empirical data for a wide range
of temperatures, appears to demonstrate that, in fact, hydrogen fractionation does not measurably depend
upon chlorite Fe-Mg content (Graham et al., 1984; Graham et al., 1987). Further, although equilibrium
fractionation factors could not be determined at temperatures <500oC, these experiments indicated that
fractionation is also temperature independent between 500-700oC. For lower temperatures, Heijboer and
Vennemann (2008) provided preliminary data on three experiments in the chlorite-H2 system between

estimates of fluid δD calculated using mineral-water hydrogen isotope calibrations.

5.6.3 Modelling potential fluid sources


To constrain the origin of the propylitic alteration fluid, it is first necessary to consider the isotopic
composition of potential end-member fluid sources, and how their composition would be expected to
evolve upon progressive interaction/equilibration with country rock during propylitic alteration. This is
achieved by modelling, based on existing constraints on the nature of the flow system (e.g. Chapters 2-4).

In the Northparkes system, three major fluid sources could have potentially contributed to propylitic
alteration: 1) spent porphyry ore fluids of magmatic origin as they cooled and migrated away from thermal
centres; 2) meteoric waters which were heated as they flowed in toward thermal centres, during convective
circulation around the intrusive system; and 3) heated seawater which could have been present in the local
environment. The latter is suggested based on the submarine depositional characteristics of the volcano-
sedimentary country rocks, which contain abundant evidence of magma-wet sediment interaction (e.g.
Chapter 2; Simpson et al., 2005). However, Sr-isotope tracing (section 5.7) precludes the involvement of
any significant seawater component, and thus O- and H-isotope tracing is restricted to discriminating
between magmatic and meteoric fluids.

At the time of formation, broadly constrained to 435-455 Ma (Fig. 2.23), paleogeographic reconstructions
indicate that the Northparkes system was located at a latitude of approximately 20oN, outboard of eastern
Gondwana (e.g. Glen et al., 1998; Scotese, 2001; Percival et al., 2011; Golonka, 2012; van Hinsbergen et al.,
2015). Further, the submarine character of all country rocks, including those broadly coeval with
mineralisation, suggests a low altitude environment. Therefore, based on the global meteoric water line of
Craig (1961) and observations of modern precipitation (e.g. Bowen and Revenaugh, 2003), meteoric fluids
at this latitude would be expected to have an initial isotopic composition of δ18OVSMOW ≈ -3‰ and δDVSMOW
≈ -15‰. This assumes the bulk O- and H-isotopic composition of seawater has remained constant since
the Late Ordovician, which, although still uncertain, is broadly in agreement with studies that suggest
Phanerozoic values have remained in a narrow range close to the present day composition (e.g.
Muehlenbachs and Clayton, 1976; Gregory and Taylor, 1981; Lécuyer et al., 1996; Veizer et al., 1997; Lécuyer
et al., 1998; Veizer et al., 1999; Jaffrés et al., 2007). In contrast, the composition of magmatic-derived fluids
is typically thought to be in the range of δ18OVSMOW = 7 to 9‰ and δDVSMOW = -40 to -80‰ (Taylor, 1974).

Lithologies hosting the magmatic-hydrothermal system at Northparkes are dominated by the BQM pluton
and trachyandesite volcanics. Based on global compilations of O- and H-isotope data for unaltered whole
rock samples (Taylor, 1968; 1974; 1978), basalts, gabbros, syenites and andesites average δ18OVSMOW ≈ 6‰
(mostly in the range of 5 to 8‰) and δDVSMOW ≈ -70‰ (mostly in the range of -50 to -100‰). Unfortunately,
owing to the scarcity of fresh, unaltered whole rock samples, whole rock isotopic data from Northparkes
are limited (section 5.4). Nevertheless, available results are in good agreement with literature-based

177
averages: analyses of the BQM gave an average δ18OVSMOW of 5.8‰, and analyses of all BQM and AND
samples yielded an average δDVSMOW of -71‰.

These constraints on the initial isotopic composition of end-member fluids, and the rocks with which they
may have interacted, provide the key inputs for modelling. The isotopic evolution of each fluid, meteoric
and magmatic, was calculated over a range of fixed temperatures during progressive equilibration with
the country rock (i.e. toward lower water:rock ratios) using the equation of Ohmoto and Rye (1974). In this
model (Fig. 5.10), it is reasonably assumed that O- and H-isotopic equilibration is controlled by orthoclase
and plagioclase feldspars and biotite respectively, as these are the most abundant phases in the host rocks.
At very low water:rock ratios (<0.001) both fluids approach the same range of compositions (dashed line
in Fig. 5.10) which therefore represents a boundary beyond which either end-member fluid cannot pass.
Notably, this boundary is independent of the starting composition of the fluids, being controlled by the
ambient temperature, rock composition and mineral-fluid fractionation factors for the minerals that
dominate isotopic exchange.

178
Fig. 5.10 – Modelled O-H equilibration paths of Northparkes meteoric (light blue) and average magmatic (orange) waters
during isotopic exchange with country rock at fixed temperatures, toward progressively lower water:rock ratios. Water:rock
ratios are indicated in italics and marked on two equilibration paths as dark circles. Modelling is based on the equation of
Ohomoto and Rye (1974) and assumes country rock monzonite has typical δ18OVSMOW ≈ 6‰ and δDVSMOW ≈ -70‰, with
exchange controlled by orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars and biotite, as discussed in section 5.6.3. Blue and red arrows
represent the equilibration paths which might be expected for either inflowing, heating meteoric waters or outflowing,
cooling magmatic waters respectively. For magmatic fluids, this path was calculated assuming that the rate of fluid cooling
decreased with progressive infiltration into host rocks, as was indicated by oxygen isotope geothermometry (Fig. 5.7), so
that at water:rock ratios of 1, temperature ≈ 500oC, at 0.1 ≈ 400oC, at 0.01 ≈ 330oC, at 0.001 ≈ 300oC and at 0.00001 ≈ 230oC,
with most propylitic alteration occurring at ~300-350oC. Similarly, for meteoric waters, the rate of heating is assumed to
have increased with progressive fluid infiltration toward thermal centres, so that at water:rock ratios of 0.5, temperature ≈
150oC, 0.1 ≈ 200oC, 0.01 ≈ 320oC, 0.00001 ≈ 350oC. All such cooling and heating paths have a similar trajectory on the plot,
but their exact shape and position is sensitive to the rate of cooling during fluid interaction with host rocks. Both fluids
develop toward a fixed composition at very low water:rock ratios, at which point they are in equilibrium with the reservoir
rock. This equilibrium composition is temperature sensitive and its position is indicated across the temperature range by
the grey dashed line. Any alteration fluid data plotting below this line requires a magmatic water input, and any above it a
meteoric water input. Alteration fluid data (Table 5.5) are plotted, along with temperatures from oxygen isotope
geothermometry. The global meteoric water line (GMWL) is also shown for reference. The hypothetical mixing paths
indicated are discussed in section 5.6.4.

5.6.4 Results
The calculated O- and H-isotopic compositions of
alteration fluids in equilibrium with the analysed
minerals are provided in Table 5.5 and plotted on
Figure 5.10. The large uncertainties associated with
determination of fluid δD from chlorite compositions
mean that preference should be given to the epidote-
derived data. Metamorphic fluids, although
represented by only three data points, appear
compositionally distinct from fluid(s) involved in
mineralisation/alteration. Potassic alteration fluids,
represented by quartz-magnetite samples, plot
exclusively within the compositional range expected
for primary magmatic fluids. The calculated propylitic
alteration fluid compositions are largely consistent
with such primary magmatic fluids that progressively
equilibrated with monzonite ± trachyandesite-
dominated country rocks, during cooling from
approximately 400oC to 230oC (red arrow in Fig. 5.10).

show that any such contribution must be minor.
Alternatively, these values may reflect the less evolved character that might be anticipated for magmatic
fluids passing through the centre of major fluid conduits (i.e. veins). Either way, the data are inconsistent
with a predominantly meteoric water control of the propylitic domain and, while not excluding a meteoric
component, clearly show that the system was magmatic-dominated.

If the relationship between alteration fluid δ18O and temperature is considered (Fig. 5.11a), a broadly
positive correlation is observed, with metamorphic samples present as distinct outliers. Interpreted in
isolation, this relationship could suggest mixing of hot, 18O enriched magmatic water with cooler, relatively
18
O depleted meteoric water, the latter with δ18O approximately -2‰ at temperatures of 0-100oC (dashed

180
line in Fig. 5.11a). However, such simple mixing of
these two isotopically-primitive end-members
would also generate a correlation between δD and
temperature (Fig. 5.11b), as well as a linear trend
between both components in δ18O-δD-space
(mixing path A in Fig. 5.10), and no such
correlations are observed in these plots.

Alternatively, it is still possible to account for much


of the data in Figure 5.10 by more complex mixing,
in which both the magmatic and meteoric
components are partially exchanged with host
rocks, to variable degrees, prior to mixing. In this
way the slope of any mixing path in δ18O-δD-space
is much steeper (e.g. mixing path B in Fig. 5.10) and
an infinite number of mixing scenarios, and
therefore fluid compositions, are possible. Yet, if
the data did represent several such variable mixing
Fig. 5.12 – Alteration fluid δ18O and δD in relation to lateral
paths, a correlation between alteration fluid δ18O distance from mineralised centres. “O-temp” indicates
and temperature might not be expected - as both those samples where mineral-fluid fractionation was
calculated using formation temperatures obtained from
of these parameters would have been oxygen isotope geothermometry. These samples define a
decrease in δ18O and increase in δD with distance. Such
independently controlled by separate processes,
trends may still be observed in samples where fractionation

and the ratio of mixing, as well as the temperature
difference between the fluids. Because a correlation is observed, this could suggest that such mixing only
occurred between fluids of constant initial temperature and at the same point during fluid-rock interaction.
However, not only would this be unlikely in a natural geological system, but a similar trend/correlation
would also then be expected between δD and temperature, as both O and H are exchanged equally during
mixing. Again this is not observed, with a large spread in δD values across a relatively narrow temperature
interval (Fig. 5.11b). Thus, these observations probably indicate that any mixing was limited in its extent.

Rather, the propylitic fluid defines an evolutionary path that is far more consistent with the trend expected
for the progressive isotopic exchange of a magmatic fluid with country rocks during cooling from ~400oC
to ~230oC (red arrows in Figs. 5.10, 5.11). Oxygen isotope geothermometry temperature estimates also
correlate well with these expected magmatic fluid equilibration paths (labelled in Fig. 5.10). In this pure
magmatic end-member model, the correlation between temperature and δ18O (Fig. 5.11a) is purely driven
by the interaction of a magmatic fluid with host rocks, which simultaneously results in fluid cooling and
rapid lowering of its δ18O. Fluid δD is also increased by this process, but changes do not follow those

181
observed in δ18O, as the rate of exchange is different for both O and H. Scatter in the data away from the
expected cooling paths can arise from both variance in the rate of cooling relative to the extent of isotopic
exchange and/or limited mixing with meteoric fluids.

Plotted as a function of distance to the deposit centre, fluid δ18O and δD values both broadly decrease (Fig.
5.12). This indicates that, as for temperature, the processes responsible for controlling the isotopic
composition of the alteration fluid (fluid-rock exchange and/or mixing) varied systematically across the
magmatic-hydrothermal system.

In summary, results demonstrate that a heating meteoric water alone could not have generated the
propylitic alteration at Northparkes and that a magmatic fluid must have been involved. With the exception
of one data point (based on fluid δD calculated from chlorite) outwards infiltration of a magmatic fluid into
surrounding country rocks, naturally accompanied by isotopic exchange and cooling, could explain all of
the observed data. However, the results do not preclude the limited mixing of cooled and variably evolved
magmatic fluid with heated and variably evolved meteoric waters.

5.7 S R ISOTOPE TRACING


Strontium isotopes are not significantly fractionated between mineral and fluid phases, hence the isotopic
composition (i.e. 87Sr/86Sr ratio) of an alteration mineral directly records the composition of the water from
which it precipitated. Furthermore, the strontium isotope ratio of water is controlled exclusively by the
dissolution of, and/or ion exchange with, Rb- and Sr-bearing minerals encountered along its flow path (e.g.
Peterman and Stuckless, 1992; Banner, 1995; McNutt, 2000; Frost and Toner, 2004). Therefore, the 87Sr/86Sr
ratio of an alteration mineral directly reflects the source of the alteration fluid and the rocks with which it
has equilibrated.

As a calcium-bearing mineral, epidote may contain several thousand ppm Sr, thus it has significant
potential for use as a fluid tracer. Epidote formed from a magmatic water would be expected to have an
initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio comparable to that of magmatic rocks. Similarly, epidote formed from meteoric water
should have an initial composition equivalent to the country rocks with which such waters equilibrated.

Results of Rb- and Sr-isotope analyses of volcanic and plutonic rocks, along with epidote separates from
Northparkes were used in section 5.4.3 to establish an estimated formation date of 450 ± 11 Ma for the
system, which in turn permitted calculation of the initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the samples (Table 5.3). The average
initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of volcanic country rocks = 0.704206 ± 0.000032 (n = 4, 1σ), plutonic rocks (BQM and AFG)
= 0.704174 ± 0.000044 (n = 6, 1σ), and propylitic epidote = 0.704212 ± 0.000090 (n = 14, 1σ). One sample of
87
metamorphic epidote, although of unknown age, gave a distinct initial Sr/86Sr = 0.704616 assuming
formation at 450 Ma. These results (Fig. 5.13a) are in good agreement with those reported by Cooke et al.
(2007) who analysed five intrusive rocks from Northparkes (BQM and QMP intrusions) that gave an average
initial 87Sr/86Sr = 0.704058 ± 0.000314 (1σ) and one epidote sample from the E27 deposit with an initial 87Sr/86Sr
= 0.70424, calculated based on an assumed formation age of 440 Ma.

182
Both intrusive and country rock lithologies at Northparkes have almost identical strontium isotopic
compositions, likely owing to their broadly similar (Ordovician) timing and magma genesis, forming part
of the same shoshonitic suite. The average composition of 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7042 is in good agreement with the
presumed island arc tectonic setting (e.g. Simpson et al., 2005), indicating no crustal contamination with
ratios close to the bulk silicate earth value of 0.7045 (e.g. Salters and Stracke, 2004; Workman and Hart,
2005). Propylitic epidote shows a wider, but still relatively limited range in its strontium isotopic
composition (Fig. 5.13a). Although there is perhaps a slight increase in epidote 87Sr/86Sr with progression
away from the E48 deposit (Fig. 5.13b), the statistical significance of this is questionable given natural
geological variability. Consequently, strontium cannot be used effectively in this example to discriminate
between meteoric and magmatic fluid reservoirs and their possible contribution to propylitic alteration.

However, the Sr composition of epidote would be highly sensitive to the involvement of any seawater in
the hydrothermal system. This is a possibility given the submarine nature of the country rock island arc
volcaniclastic sequence, which includes several marine facies such as limestones and turbidites, and
displays abundant textural evidence of magma wet-sediment interaction (e.g. Chapter 2; Kolkert, 1998;
Simpson et al., 2005; Glen et al., 2012). Seawater 87Sr/86Sr has remained at values >0.7065 throughout the
Phanerozoic, and during the Late Ordovician/Early Silurian was approximately 0.708-0.709 (e.g. Burke et
al., 1982; Qing et al., 1998; Veizer et al., 1999). Therefore, the presence of any seawater during alteration
87
would have produced epidote Sr/86Sr values higher than in magmatic or country rock lithologies.
Consequently, the minor involvement of seawater in propylitic alteration, or at the very least, the
incorporation of Sr from phases originally precipitated from seawater (e.g. calcite/limestone), is one way of
accounting for the higher range in epidote 87Sr/86Sr compared to the Northparkes host rocks (Fig. 5.13a).
However, as epidote 87Sr/86Sr composition is not significantly skewed toward the far higher seawater value
this is unlikely to have been a major source of Sr. Alternatively, it is possible that samples from directly
around Northparkes do not adequately reflect the variance in whole rock 87Sr/86Sr of the wider district
through which alteration fluids circulated.

183
5.8 D ISCUSSION : ISOTOPIC CONSTRAINTS ON THE ORIGIN OF PROPYLITIC ALTERATION
To date, the results of this study represent the most comprehensive isotopic investigation into the origin
of propylitic alteration, and strongly suggest the facies is simply the distal, cooler equivalent of potassic
alteration, driven by the same magmatic fluid. There is a clear decrease in δ18O and increase in δD of the
propylitic alteration fluid with progression away from deposits. Modelling shows that this trend cannot
have been produced by heated meteoric waters and requires input of magmatic fluids into the propylitic
domain.

Depletion of 18O and increase in the D content of the propylitic alteration fluid, with increasing distance
from mineralised centres, was also recognised by Bowman et al. (1987) at the Bingham porphyry Cu-Au-
Mo deposit, Utah, and by Parsapoor et al. (2014) at the Darreh-Zar porphyry Cu deposit, Iran. However, at
Darreh-Zar this was based on only two epidote samples, and temperatures used to calculate epidote-water
fractionation were arbitrarily estimated at 300oC. Parsapoor et al. (2014) simply interpreted this ‘trend’ as a
result of an influx of meteoric water into the periphery of the system, and did not consider the effect of
cooling and water-rock equilibration on the composition of magmatic water. If, as is typical, country rocks
are dominated by plagioclase and biotite, such water-rock interaction can have exactly the same effect on
fluid composition, lowering δ18O and increasing δD. At Bingham, Bowman et al. (1987) acknowledged
these trends were inconsistent with inflowing, heating meteoric waters driving propylitic alteration, and in
fact showed they could be generated by a magmatic water, mixing with formation waters outwards.
Despite this, they proposed a different model in which meteoric fluids were convectively drawn through
the magmatic system at depth, heating and equilibrating with host rocks until their composition was
similar to magmatic fluids; at this point they were focussed/expelled outwards around deposits, generating
propylitic alteration. This concept of porphyry magmatic systems acting as ‘heat engines’ to drive the
circulation of meteoric waters is epitomised by Taylor (1974) but, with hindsight, is viewed as vastly
overemphasising the role of such fluids (e.g. Hedenquist and Richards, 1998).

Norman et al. (1991) also documented a deposit-distal decrease in alteration fluid δ18O at Southwest Tintic,
Utah. In contrast to the Northparkes (E48), Bingham and Darreh-Zar deposits, this was accompanied by an
apparent decrease in alteration fluid δD, interpreted as reflecting an ingress of local meteoric water with
low δD values. However, unlike the trend in δ18O, which was defined on numerous epidote, calcite, chlorite
and whole rock samples, the trend in δD was based on only three chlorite analyses in the distal epidote-
chlorite subzone. These provided an average alteration fluid δDVSMOW of -79‰ compared to an average
of -55‰ in the most deposit-proximal actinolite subzone, the latter being based on analysis of two epidote
and two chlorite separates. Given the substantial uncertainty in hydrogen isotope fractionation in the
chlorite-water system, it is unclear how robust this 24‰ difference is. Further, the most deposit-distal
chlorite sample gave a composition that could equally have been produced by isotopic exchange of a
magmatic fluid with country rocks. Even if this data are in support of a meteoric water at Southwest Tintic,
Norman et al. (1991) demonstrated that the calculated isotopic composition and measured salinity (from

184
fluid inclusions) of the propylitic alteration fluid still required mixing of such local meteoric water with a
higher temperature, “much more 18O- and D-enriched (relative to local meteoric water), higher salinity
fluid”. Although now this would be readily interpreted as evidence for the involvement of magmatic fluids
in the propylitic zone, Norman et al. (1991) dismissed this idea, favouring the meteoric water model of
Bowman et al. (1987) discussed above.

Similarly, Dilles et al. (1992) proposed meteoric water as the driver of propylitic alteration at the Ann-Mason
deposit, Nevada, based purely on similarity in the O- and H-isotopic composition of two propylitically-
altered whole rock samples with apparently fresh rocks. However, this observation does not implicate any
particular fluid source, and can equally be explained by the action of propylitic fluids that were
approaching isotopic equilibrium with their host rocks under rock-dominated conditions, which might be
expected in the distal portions of this facies.

The O- and H-isotopic composition of whole rock, plagioclase, biotite and chlorite samples from
propylitically-altered rocks surrounding the Babine porphyry Cu deposits of British Columbia were
analysed by Zaluski et al. (1994). Their use of plagioclase and biotite to study the propylitic alteration fluid
is, perhaps, questionable. The former is only developed in propylitic alteration as end-member albite and
cannot supply δD data and, although biotite could be stable within the innermost propylitic zone, where
it may transition into potassic alteration, across most of the propylitic facies it is chloritised. Further, the
‘chlorite’ samples were inevitably contaminated because, rather than using true chlorite separates, whole
rock powders of chlorite-rich samples (that also contained amounts of biotite, sericite and other clays) were
analysed. Again, the use of chlorite to estimate alteration fluid δD is also limited given the uncertainty in
hydrogen isotope fractionation between chlorite and water. Nonetheless, data from this study showed that
δ18OVSMOW of the propylitic alteration fluid at the various deposits was in the range of 2-9‰, and that
δDVSMOW varied from -70‰ to -90‰. These values overlapped the isotopic composition determined for late
potassic fluids at these deposits and the expected compositions of both magmatic and meteoric fluids that
have undergone isotopic exchange with local host rocks. Consequently, Zaluski et al. (1994) suggested that
propylitic alteration was driven by a mixture of magmatic and meteoric fluids.

Other studies have been restricted to only oxygen isotope investigations. At the North Silver Bell porphyry
Cu deposit, Arizona, Ballantyne (1981) calculated the δ18O of alteration fluids in equilibrium with one
chlorite, five whole rock and three calcite samples from across the propylitic zone. This again showed an
outwards decrease in δ18O of the alteration fluid, and implicated the involvement of a fluid with 18O
contents higher than any available meteoric waters, even in the most distal samples. Therefore, such data
18
could once again be readily explained by the involvement of relatively O-rich magmatic fluids in
propylitic alteration.

In a different approach, Fekete et al. (2016) interpreted 18O data from quartz in porphyry stockwork veins
to suggest that meteoric waters infiltrate into the potassic zone during mineralisation and, by inference,

185
must dominate outside this zone. Their data was collected by in situ ion microprobe analysis of growth
zones in six vein quartz samples from the Elatsite porphyry Cu deposit, Bulgaria, and four samples from the
Bingham deposit. Results appear to show a decrease in the δ18O of the mineralising fluid with progressive
crystal growth, taken to indicate the influx of isotopically lighter meteoric water with time. Fluid δ18O was
calculated based on an internal, previously unpublished quartz-water isotopic fractionation calibration
using temperatures from fluid inclusions. If the temperatures are correct, analyses representing the hottest
conditions (425-640oC) show, as might be expected, fluid 18O values (δ18OVSMOW = 6 to 8‰) in agreement
with a magmatic-dominant source. Similarly, analyses from later, lower temperature (145-380oC) growth
zones, show a much larger range of fluid 18O values (δ18OVSMOW = 0 to 6‰) in agreement with fresh to highly
evolved meteoric waters, evolved magmatic fluids and/or a mixed source. Cu deposition is thought to have
occurred either during the high temperature phase or between these two periods of high and low
temperature quartz growth. Thus, such results are, in fact, entirely consistent with ingress of meteoric water
following main-stage mineralisation and thermal collapse of the systems. They do not necessitate mixing
or dominance of meteoric water during release of magmatic fluids, when main-stage mineralisation, along
with potassic and much propylitic alteration, takes place. Other possible controls over the δ18O of the
alteration fluid, such as equilibration with country rocks and/or evolution of the magmatic system over
time are not considered. Further, given a lack of corresponding δD data, such interpretations will always
remain equivocal.

Carbon isotopes are another potentially useful tool for helping constrain the origin of propylitic alteration
fluid(s). Calcite from propylitically-altered rocks in the porphyry Cu-Mo Collahuasi district of Chile was
shown by Djouka-Fonkwé et al. (2012) to have elevated and distinct δ13C values compared to calcite from
background metamorphic assemblages, consistent with derivation of carbon from a magmatic source.
Similarly, the overall carbon content of propylitically-altered rocks was far higher than in surrounding
metamorphosed country rocks, implying metasomatic addition of carbon during propylitic alteration, as
also documented at Northparkes (Chapter 3). Also in Chile, Ramírez et al. (2006) conducted a carbon
isotope study of propylitic calcite from alteration surrounding the magmatic-hydrothermal, breccia-hosted
Mantos Blancos Cu deposit. Again, this indicated incorporation of magmatic/mantle-derived carbon
during propylitic alteration. Therefore, all available carbon isotope data strongly support the involvement
of magmatic fluids in generating propylitic alteration.

In review of the available data from both Northparkes and other porphyry-style deposits worldwide, it
would therefore appear that, contrary to the established paradigm, there are many lines of independent
evidence that can support the partial, if not always exclusive, involvement of magmatic fluids in propylitic
alteration. Indeed, at Northparkes, the propylitic domain cannot have been driven solely by convectively
circulating meteoric waters, and was probably dominated by spent magmatic-derived porphyry Cu ore
fluid as it progressively cooled and equilibrated with surrounding country rocks (Fig. 5.14). This is the
simplest way of simultaneously accounting for both the isotopic data and previously described

186
characteristics. The latter include: field relationships and timing relative to potassic alteration (Chapter 2),
systematic spatial variation in the concentration of elements (e.g. Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, As, Sb, V, Bi etc.) within
chlorite and/or epidote (Chapter 4), metasomatic gain of ore-related elements (e.g. Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, S, As
etc.) in samples of most intense propylitic alteration, and, the chemical/mineralogical gradients which
extend from deposit centres to the distal propylitic facies (Chapter 3).

5.9 C ONCLUSIONS
Magmatic-derived ore fluids were the principal
driver of propylitic alteration in the Northparkes
porphyry Cu-Au deposits, and the propylitic
domain cannot have formed by the action of
meteoric fluids alone. Consequently, the propylitic
facies is best interpreted as the cooler, distal
equivalent of the potassic alteration zones which it
encloses. Although minor seawater derived Sr
could have been incorporated into the propylitic
assemblage, seawater clearly did not form a
significant proportion of the hydrothermal system.
If meteoric water was involved, then it acted only
to dilute the magmatic fluids and did not affect the
hypogene dispersion of elements.

Review of isotopic evidence from other porphyry-


style deposits suggests that magmatic fluids are
routinely involved in propylitic alteration, where
they may, or may not, be diluted by meteoric
waters. This clearly challenges the assumed
dominance of meteoric fluids in the propylitic

documented at Northparkes (e.g. Chapter 2; Harris and
At Northparkes, potassic alteration was driven by a Golding, 2002) and several other deposits (e.g. Hedenquist et
al., 1998; Seedorff and Einaudi, 2004; Rusk et al., 2008)
magmatic fluid and took place at temperatures of prolonged flow of moderate temperature acidic magmatic
fluids may also generate zones of sericitic alteration that
up to ~700oC and persisted down to ~450oC, overprint, or feed into the propylitic zone. Note this model
accompanied by Cu-Au mineralisation. At least does not preclude later, post-mineralisation ingress of
meteoric waters and possible associated alteration following
some magmatic fluid infiltrated beyond the zone of thermal collapse of the magmatic-hydrothermal system.

187
potassic alteration and drove the development of the surrounding propylitic facies. Temperatures across
the propylitic facies decreased from ~450oC at the innermost transition with potassic alteration, and in
large veins through which heat was advected, outwards to ~250oC at distances of ~1.5 km from mineralised
thermal centres. Concomitant with this decrease in temperature and fluid flux was a systematic change in
the dominant propylitic alteration minerals from chlorite-sericite, through epidote-chlorite, to hematite-
albite.

It has been shown that both quartz-chlorite and quartz-epidote assemblages may provide useful oxygen
isotope geothermometry pairs and facilitate calculation of the δ18O of coexisting fluids in equilibrium. Ti in
chlorite also shows promise for development into an independent geothermometer given further specific
study. Presently however, only epidote is capable of providing reliable estimates of δD for coexisting fluids,
and is consequently the best suited mineral for tracing fluid sources; it may also permit Rb-Sr age dating of
alteration. The δD of chlorite was remarkably consistent across the innermost 1.8 km of the propylitic facies
at Northparkes, despite the proven existence of spatial trends in temperature and fluid chemistry; this
attests to the complex range of possible controls, or indeed the relatively temperature independent nature
of hydrogen fractionation in the chlorite-water system, which is still poorly understood.

188
6. THE NATURE OF PROPYLITIC ALTERATION IN PORPHYRY
ORE DEPOSITS

6.1 I NTRODUCTION
The principal questions addressed by this study were:

1) Are there spatial variations in propylitic alteration, in particular, are there any changes to the
mineralogy and alteration textures in relation to porphyry deposit centres, veins and other alteration
facies? What was the relative timing of propylitic alteration in relation to porphyry mineralisation?
These questions were answered by field-based characterisation of the Northparkes deposits in Chapter 2. It
was shown that the majority of propylitic alteration, particularly the intense examples, developed
synchronously with potassic alteration-mineralisation. The mineralogy and intensity of propylitic
alteration was further documented to vary systematically around both deposit centres and veins, and as a
function of host rock mineralogy and permeability.

2) What were the metasomatic effects of propylitic alteration? How are these effects linked to alteration
textures and mineralogy? How do the metasomatic effects of propylitic alteration compare to the effects
of other alteration facies? What geochemical changes are recorded in the alteration halos around veins?
These questions were answered by quantifying the bulk geochemical changes associated with alteration in
Chapter 3. Propylitic alteration at Northparkes was shown to be typically associated with net addition of Fe,
Mg, Ca, C, volatiles/LOI, Mn, Zn and Pb along with minor S, Cu, As and Co, and often accompanied by net loss
of Si, K, Na, Sr and Rb. Exact metasomatic effects were correlated with alteration intensity. Broadly, all
chemical changes were complementary, and often inverse, to those documented in the potassic and sericitic
facies - defining geochemical dispersion profiles and providing a link between alteration domains.
Geochemical changes associated with alteration halos around both propylitic (P1) and sericitic veins were
shown to closely match those observed on the deposit scale.

3) What type of epidote and chlorite group minerals are present in the propylitic facies? What trace
elements do they accommodate? Does their major and/or trace element geochemistry vary spatially?
What factors control the chemistry of these minerals? Does their chemistry help shed light on the fluids
responsible for propylitic alteration? Are any systematic spatial variations in mineral chemistry useful
during exploration? These questions were answered by a thorough SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS investigation
into the chemistry of epidote and chlorite at E48 in Chapter 4. Epidote and clinochlore were shown to be
the typical minerals, containing trace elements such as Mn, Zn, Pb, As, Sb and Bi among many others. The
concentrations of several major and trace elements in these minerals defined systematic spatial variations,
largely in relation to deposit centres, that appear to reflect hypogene dispersion. Such trends were shown
to be of potential value to explorationists when compared to traditional whole rock geochemical data.

4) What was the temperature gradient around the porphyry systems and across the propylitic alteration
zone? Was propylitic alteration driven entirely by heated, convectively circulating meteoric waters?
Did magmatic fluids contribute to propylitic alteration? Did seawater contribute to alteration at
Northparkes? These questions were answered by an O, H and Sr isotopic study of alteration in Chapter 5. It
was shown that temperatures may have reached ~700oC in the magmatic cores of the porphyry deposits,
and decreased from ~450 oC to <250 oC outward across the propylitic facies. Results indicated that heated
meteoric waters alone were incapable of generating the propylitic domain, and that magmatic fluids must
have contributed to the zone. Seawater, if present, was not a significant component of the alteration
system.

189
Although in many ways stand-alone investigations utilising different techniques, all results have ultimately
corroborated one another and led to the same conclusion. Taken collectively, results provide robust
evidence to suggest that magmatic-derived porphyry ore fluids dominated in the potassic and propylitic
alteration facies at Northparkes, with temperature a master variable controlling fluid properties (including
pH) and therefore alteration and mineral geochemistry.

Here, the major results and interpretations from previous chapters are combined into an overall genetic
model for alteration at Northparkes (Fig. 6.1). The applicability of this model to other porphyry deposits
and the implications for fluid flow in porphyry magmatic-hydrothermal systems is then considered.

6.2 N ORTHPARKES : A SIMPLIFIED GENETIC MODEL


6.2.1 Setting
The Northparkes district was clearly a long-lived focus of magmatic activity (Chapter 2). Extensive island-
arc volcanism occurred throughout the Ordovician, recording an evolution toward increasingly more felsic
and shoshonitic magmatism, occasionally punctuated by the intrusion of trachyandesite sills (Simpson et
al., 2005; sections 2.2, 2.5). The onset of plutonic activity was marked by the intrusion of the BQM-AFG
pluton in the Late Ordovician to Early Silurian (Lickfold et al., 2003, 2007; section 2.7), likely leading to
expulsion of any pre-existing formation waters (meteoric or seawater) out of the surrounding country rocks
and producing an immediate zone of biotite-magnetite hornfels. The magma reservoir represented by this
intrusion appears to have been periodically rejuvenated by injection of more mafic melts, probably
bolstering its metal and volatile contents (Lickfold et al., 2007; sections 2.5.2, 2.4.2). Later intrusions were
progressively more hydrous (section 2.4.2), first marked by the QMZ and ultimately culminating in the
various quartz monzonite porphyries.

6.2.2 Potassic alteration and mineralisation


Rather than magmatic intrusions sensu-stricto, the crystal-crowded nature of many of the quartz monzonite
porphyries, together with textures that imply their low-viscosity behaviour (sections 2.4.2-3), suggest that
the porphyry intrusions at Northparkes are perhaps better considered as crystal-bearing, silicate melt-
aqueous fluid slurries (R. Armstrong, 2015, pers. comm.). These were emplaced into the shallow crust,
probably within the depth range of 1-5 km (Lickfold et al., 2003; Heithersay and Walshe, 1995; calculations
in section 2.8). Consideration of the composition of the magmas and constraints from oxygen isotope
geothermometry (section 5.5) indicate these complex mixtures were probably emplaced at temperatures
>700oC. The abundance of anhydrite, particularly at E26 and GRP314 (section 2.6), and its presence as
magmatic phenocrysts (Lickfold et al., 2003) attests to highly oxidised conditions.

The pressurised discharge of magmatic aqueous fluids generated zones of hydrofracturing around the
margins and apices of the porphyry bodies. Based on the results of mass balance calculations (Chapter 3),
the magmatic fluid must have contained, to a greater or lesser extent, Na, Ca, K, Si, Al, Mg, Mn, Cu, Au, Mo,
Zn, Pb, Se, W, Ga and Rb in solution along with S, C and appropriate ligands, particularly Cl. The reaction of

190
this fluid with surrounding country rocks produced a zone of potassic alteration in which secondary quartz,
K-feldspar, biotite and disseminated sulphides were developed at the expense of abundant primary
plagioclase and magnetite in most rocks (section 2.6.2). A significant proportion of the dissolved Si, S, Cu
and Au was also precipitated directly into the fracture network, producing the quartz-sulphide stockwork
veins, sudden pressure release during fracturing may also have promoted rapid precipitation of quartz (e.g.
Rimstidt, 1997). Consequently, K, Al, Si, S, Cu and Au were lost from solution (i.e. bulk added to the rock, Fig.
6.1) along with minor Rb, Ga, Mo, Se and W; although Mo may have formed trace molybdenite, these other
minor elements were probably variously accommodated by substitution into the major silicate and sulphide
minerals (see discussion in section 3.6.3). Fe, Ca and Mn were typically leached into solution as plagioclase
and magnetite were destroyed and primary biotite was recrystallised (sections 2.6.2, 3.4.1, Fig. 6.1).

Results of oxygen isotope geothermometry indicate that the highest temperatures for the initial potassic
alteration were in the region of 600-700oC based on quartz-magnetite assemblages (section 5.5). Fluid
inclusion studies indicate that Cu-sulphide precipitation probably occurred in the main stockwork veins in
the range of ~500oC (Lickfold et al., 2003) to ~600oC (Heithersay and Walshe, 1995).

6.2.3 Magnetite ± biotite alteration


On the periphery of this fractured zone, magmatic fluid flow probably became more restricted. Based on
the thermal profile constructed from oxygen isotope geothermometry (Fig. 5.7, Fig. 6.1, section 5.5),
temperatures were ~500oC. Fluid pH began to decrease due to the onset of dissociation of acidic species
such as H2SO4 and HCl (e.g. Giggenbach, 1992; Rye, 1993; Reed et al., 2013) leading to weak sericite-quartz
alteration of plagioclase. Although K-feldspar was no longer formed under these conditions, minor biotite
was still developed and the clearly oxidised environment and Fe budget of the fluid permitted formation
of much disseminated magnetite (Fig. 6.1; section 2.6.3). Most of the original Cu and Au budget of the fluid
was deposited by this point. However, the net chemical effect of this alteration on the fluid was still similar
to within the system centre, with continued addition of K, Al and Si to the rock and leaching of Ca during
quartz-sericite replacement of plagioclase (Fig. 6.1; section 3.5.2). Mass transfer calculations also show that
Fe was either broadly conserved or lost from solution at this stage to magnetite.

6.2.4 Propylitic alteration


Magmatic fluid continued to migrate outwards, exploiting zones of pre-existing permeability as it was
expelled away from the thermal centres. Further cooling into the temperature range of ~400-450oC
(section 5.5) appears to correspond to the most acidic fluid pH. Magnetite and biotite were no longer
developed and, as fluid flow was increasingly focused along fractures in otherwise relatively impermeable
rocks, chlorite and phengitic sericite became dominant, accompanied by minor pyrite and rare sphalerite,
defining the P1 propylitic veins (section 2.6.4). This assemblage is essentially transitional between sericitic
and propylitic, appearing to record prolonged fluid flow during which acidity was neutralised by wall rock
interaction. P1 veins seem to have acted as important conduits, supplying the magmatic fluid responsible
for propylitic alteration into distal portions of the system (e.g. Fig. 2.18, Fig. 6.1).

Chapters 2-5. (a) schematic illustrating the spatial relationship between propylitic veins and a porphyry intrusive complex,

alteration minerals across the traverse indicated in (a); (c) the temperature gradient that probably existed across this
traverse (based on the results of oxygen isotope geothermometry - see section 5.5) and the inferred evolution of alteration

indicated in (a), based on results of mass balance calculations (see section 3.6). Each line shows the spatial changes in the
metasomatic behaviour of a particular element, effectively defining their dispersion in the system. However, in order to
create the figure, each element had to be plotted at its own unique scale. Consequently, the magnitude of gain/loss for one
element cannot be directly compared to another in this plot. (e-f) summary of the spatial, compositional trends in the
mineral chemistry of chlorite and epidote respectively across the traverse in (a). Each line shows the relative change in the
concentration of a particular element within each mineral, based on the E48 dataset investigated in Chapter 4. Note, as for
(d), in order to produce these figures, each element was plotted at its own scale and hence these plots cannot be used to
compare the absolute concentrations of different elements.

In the highly permeable and reactive mafic volcaniclastic units, fluid flow was far less focused and large
veins are rarer. Correspondingly, in these rocks, the transition into propylitic alteration from magnetite-
biotite alteration is marked simply by the loss of magnetite and gain of chlorite and epidote with only
minor phengitic sericite.

The change from a magnetite-biotite to chlorite-sericite-epidote assemblage not only reflected a decrease
in temperature but also the tipping point from dominant Si-K-Al metasomatism with Ca leaching, to
dominant Fe-Mg-Ca metasomatism (Fig. 6.1, Chapter 3). Mn, Zn, Pb and C, along with minor As and Co,
either present in the fluid from its inception and/or leached during prior potassic alteration, were also
added from this point outwards, as their aqueous complexes began to destabilise (section 3.5.3). Although
some Zn and Pb may have formed trace sulphides, Mn, Zn and Pb were also all accommodated, to a varying
extent, in epidote and/or chlorite (Chapter 4). C was precipitated exclusively as calcite, and As and Co
probably substituted into pyrite (e.g. Gregory et al., 2015; section 4.6.3).

The most intense propylitic alteration, comprising chlorite-sericite-epidote-pyrite, was developed


immediately adjacent to the P1 veins and in the deposit-proximal portions of permeable volcanic units
(Chapter 2). Epidote and chlorite in these settings incorporated relatively high concentrations of Ti, Mn and
Zn; epidote also accommodated some Bi, V, Pb, As and Sb (Chapter 4). In such intensely altered zones, Na
and Sr were leached from the rock during replacement of plagioclase by epidote and chlorite; K-feldspar
was also destroyed and often entirely chloritised, but rather than being leached, K appears to have been
accommodated in patches of phengitic sericite (section 3.5.3).

With further outward infiltration of fluids, away from mineralised centres and P1 veins, phengitic sericite
was no longer formed and the principal alteration minerals developed were epidote and chlorite,
accompanied by calcite and hematite. These changes indicate a transition into neutral fluid conditions and
a reduction in the observed abundance of pyrite suggests S2 also steadily decreased (e.g. sections 3.6.3,
4.6, Fig. 6.1). Oxygen isotope geothermometry results indicate that temperatures also decreased across the
propylitic zone from ~450oC to <250oC. The abundance of epidote appears to have been correlated with

193
the ambient temperature but was inversely correlated with the abundance of primary K-feldspar, which,
unlike plagioclase, was mostly unreactive under these conditions and thus could not be replaced. As the
fluid flux decreased outward, so too did the intensity of alteration and the quantity and size of veins, with
a transition to common P2 veins and eventually to simple P3 veinlets. On the periphery of more intense
areas of propylitic alteration and/or vein halos, secondary albite can be abundant, marking the re-addition
of previously leached Na. Despite some Sr being accommodated in epidote, in bulk rock terms it was still
shown to have been leached during all examples of propylitic alteration at Northparkes (Fig. 6.1, Chapter 3).

Propylitic alteration can therefore be considered to represent the progressive chemical equilibration of a
magmatic fluid with the surrounding rock, once it had formed the central ore system and potassic
alteration zone (sections 3.6.3, 4.6). Its reserves of contained Fe, Mg, Ca, C, Mn, Zn and Pb were continually
depleted during reaction with host rocks across the zone, along with minor remaining Cu, S and K until
they were either totally depleted or in equilibrium with the host rocks. Na was mobilised outwards within
the facies, being reprecipitated in albite at the edges of the more intensely altered domains (Fig. 6.1). The
proportion of metasomatically added elements usually declines fairly systematically with increasing
distance from areas of focused fluid flow. However, Mn and Zn (along with minor Pb) were more rapidly
lost from the fluid over only a short distance interval, corresponding to temperatures in the range of 350-
400oC (Fig. 6.1). To some extent this rapid precipitation may reflect both temperature decrease and acid
neutralisation (e.g. Kouzmanov and Pokrovski, 2012; section 4.6.7). Consequently, these elements define a
halo of elevated concentrations, both in the bulk rock, and as components in epidote and chlorite (Fig. 6.1,
sections 4.4.4, 4.5.4). Where accommodated in chlorite, Mn and Zn effectively out-competed V and Ni for
space within its structure, resulting in a parallel decrease in these elements (Fig. 6.1, sections 4.4.4, 4.6.3).
Despite a relatively low abundance of pyrite in most of the propylitic zone, it still appears to have remained
an efficient sink for any available Cu, with no appreciable Cu being hosted in all but the most deposit-distal
chlorite (Fig. 6.1, sections 4.4.4, 4.6.3, 4.6.8).

6.2.5 Sericitic veins


At E26 and GRP314, continued magmatic activity led to the emplacement of late-mineralisation QMP
bodies, which facilitated discharge of further magmatic fluids. In comparison to the main-stage
mineralisation event described above, fluids were volumetrically minor and, although forcibly emplaced,
exploited pre-existing structures to generate hydrothermally-cemented vein breccias as opposed to
intricate stockworks (sections 2.4, 2.6). Quartz and/or anhydrite with accompanying variable quantities of
chalcopyrite, pyrite, molybdenite and magnetite were precipitated as breccia cement/vein fill. Cooling of
this fluid against wall rocks probably led to rapid, strong acidification, evidenced by the development of
extensive zones of intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, defining the sericitic veins (section 2.6.6).

At high ambient temperatures, close to magmatic centres, the continued outwards infiltration of this late
fluid led to the development of a vein-distal fringe of K-feldspar and biotite alteration. However, the
majority of sericitic veins appear to have efficiently channelled the fluid into more deposit-distal locations.

194
Here, host rocks were cooler and infiltration of the fluid away from vein centres, although still generating
an inner zone of quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, led to the production of outer subzones of chlorite-
sericite, chlorite and eventually chlorite-epidote-hematite-albite alteration (section 2.6.6). Thus, over the
scale of just 10s of centimetres, these vein halos exhibit the same alteration zonation observed around the
Northparkes deposits in general. The geochemical dispersion reflected by such zoned alteration halos is
also similar to that observed on the deposit scale. Vein-proximal sericitic alteration marks the initial fluid
cooling and its acidic attack of the wall rock, a process through which the fluid was neutralised, while K, Al,
Si, S, Cu and Mo were metasomatically added. Simultaneously, Na, Ca, Fe, Mg, Sr and Mn were leached into
solution, as primary mafic minerals and feldspars were destroyed (section 3.5.4). The transition into chlorite
and an eventual chlorite-epidote-hematite-albite assemblage was driven by the outwards re-distribution
of these leached elements once the fluid was neutral and as temperature presumably continued to
decrease. Notably, the fluid must have originally contained elevated Mn, Zn and Pb, because the
metasomatic gain of these elements in the chlorite subzone far outweighs earlier losses by leaching in the
sericitic subzone. Thus, geochemical halos of elevated Zn, Mn and Pb developed around these veins are,
once again, exactly as observed around the Northparkes deposits in general. Therefore, the scale invariance
of the alteration sequence strongly supports a progressive alteration model for all alteration domains at
Northparkes and the nature of the metasomatic additions strongly support this being driven by a single,
evolving magmatic fluid.

6.3 A SINGLE MAGMATIC FLUID?


The genetic model described above is clearly only feasible if a singular magmatic fluid is capable of
producing the observed alteration domains. There is no question that a magmatic-derived fluid exclusively
generated the late sericitic veins: they show a direct spatial and temporal link with QMP intrusions, contain
ore sulphides and the O- and H-isotopic composition of sericite which encloses the veins is consistent with
a magmatic origin (Harris and Golding, 2002). At the deposit scale, the observed mineralogical changes
and geochemical dispersion of elements (with transition from potassic to propylitic alteration) have been
shown to be mostly identical to those developed around the sericitic veins (Chapters 2-3). Ore-related
elements also reside within epidote and chlorite, with their abundance defining hypogene dispersion
profiles (Chapter 4). Meanwhile, the calculated isotopic composition of the propylitic alteration fluid is
readily explained by a magmatic-dominated source (Chapter 5).

On an empirical basis, it therefore appears possible to derive at least potassic, sericitic and propylitic
alteration assemblages entirely from a single magmatic fluid by scale-independent physicochemical
processes. Known relationships between alteration minerals and alteration fluid conditions, notably
temperature and pH, suggest the main process is straightforward cooling (Fig. 6.2). Direct cooling of a
magmatic fluid would lead to the simple progression from a potassic biotite, K-feldspar and magnetite
assemblage, through a zone of epidote- and actinolite-dominated propylitic alteration, out into a chlorite-
epidote-albite propylitic assemblage (dashed line in Fig. 6.2). Combined with an outward decrease in the

195
abundance of sulphides, probably as the S budget of the
alteration fluid is progressively depleted, this would
easily account for the alteration model of Holliday and
Cooke (2007), which implies these mineralogical
transitions are common around porphyry deposits.

At Northparkes, however, the observed mineralogical


transitions in low permeability monzonitic rocks are
often slightly different, and actinolite is usually absent. As
detailed in Chapter 2, a potassic biotite, K-feldspar and
magnetite assemblage grades through a zone of
chlorite-sericite-quartz ± pyrite ± epidote alteration
(developed around P1 veins) out into a zone of epidote-
chlorite-calcite and eventually a chlorite-epidote-albite-
hematite propylitic assemblage (with P2 and P3 veins). A
similar mineralogical transition is also observed around
the sericitic veins. This suggests an initially neutral fluid
that, during continuous cooling, gradually acidifies and is
then more rapidly neutralised by reaction with host rocks
(solid line in Fig. 6.2). The ultimate degree of acidity Fig. 6.2 – Diagrammatic representation of the
temperature and pH dependence of mineral

An evolutionary model of this kind, based on reactive
transport modelling, was proposed by Reed et al. (2013), who demonstrated that a magmatic fluid,
progressively reacting with a granite during cooling from 600oC to 200oC is readily capable of generating
potassic, argillic, sericitic and propylitic alteration assemblages. Their modelling was constrained by field
observations of the giant Butte porphyry Cu deposit (Montana, USA). Notably, documented quartz-pyrite
± chalcopyrite ± magnetite veins at Butte, variously surrounded by dark to light green envelopes of
chlorite-sericite-quartz with minor, vein-distal epidote, are identical to the sericitic veins described here for
Northparkes (c.f. Fig. 2.20c-o with Fig. 4b,c,e,f of Reed et al., 2013). Photographs of these veins at Butte also
appear to show the characteristic vein-distal hematite reddening of feldspar as seen at Northparkes.
Further, the propylitic facies at Butte is reported to contain trace sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, sericite
and K-feldspar, again similar to Northparkes.

196
Therefore, despite the Butte deposit being of strikingly different age (~64 Ma; Lund et al., 2002), size,
magmatic affinity and probably emplacement depth, hydrothermal alteration was in many ways
analogous with the Northparkes deposits. Consequently, this modelling shows that it is theoretically
possible to account for the propylitic domain by the outward percolation of a magmatic fluid and that
meteoric or formation water involvement is not required, as has been argued for Northparkes based on
the data presented in previous chapters. The significant contrast in geological settings between Butte and
Northparkes suggests this alteration process is rather insensitive to many geological parameters so could
well be generally applicable to the majority of porphyry deposits.

6.4 E VIDENCE FROM ELSEWHERE


Although the propylitic domain has historically been thought of as isochemical (e.g. Meyer and Hemley, 1967;
see review in section 1.3), as shown in Chapter 3, this was certainly not the case at Northparkes and, wherever
it has been investigated elsewhere, metasomatic effects have also been demonstrated. Although more
limited in their scope, mass balance studies at the Darrehzar and Maher-Abad Cu(-Au) deposits (Iran) and the
Bajo de la Alumbrera Cu-Au deposit (Argentina) demonstrated that propylitic alteration was associated
with consistent gain of C, LOI, Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb and in most cases Mg, together with net loss of K, Na, Si and
Rb (Ulrich and Heinrich, 2002; Derakhshani and Abdolzadeh, 2009; Siahcheshm et al., 2014). This is perhaps
unsurprising given the consistent zonation of base metals, observed as halos of enrichment in (Mn-)Zn-Pb
surrounding Cu orebodies, in which the (Mn-)Zn-Pb halo is typically spatially coincident with propylitic
alteration (e.g. Emmons, 1927; Jerome, 1966; Cox et al., 1975; Carson et al., 1976; John, 1978; Chaffee, 1982;
Jones, 1992; Zaluski et al., 1994; Heithersay and Walshe, 1995; Kouzmanov and Pokrovski, 2012).

Similarly, the systematic behaviour of Mn in chlorite, producing a chlorite-Mn halo around deposits, is a
relatively long standing observation, including at the North Silver Bell porphyry Cu deposit (Arizona, USA;
Ballantyne, 1981) and in the Southwest Tintic district (Utah, USA; Norman et al. 1991). The ability for chlorite
chemistry to record the physical conditions under which it formed has also been used to develop chlorite
geothermometers (e.g. Cathelineau and Nieva, 1985; de Caritat et al., 1993). Yet, only with recent interest
in the use of epidote and chlorite mineral chemistry as an exploration tool have these minerals been more
thoroughly investigated and documented in the propylitic facies. Mineral chemistry trends, mostly similar
to those defined for Northparkes in Chapter 4, have now been documented within chlorite at the Batu
Hijau porphyry Cu-Au deposit (Indonesia; Wilkinson et al., 2015) and within epidote around the various
porphyry and skarn occurrences of the Baguio district (Philippines; Cooke et al. 2014a).

Consequently, the geochemical characteristics documented in this study for propylitic alteration at
Northparkes appear non-unique and are probably typical features of porphyry-style deposits, albeit under-
represented in the literature. Further, as highlighted throughout, such apparent systematic, hypogene
dispersion of ore-related elements across the propylitic zone, and their incorporation directly within
propylitic alteration minerals is strong evidence that magmatic fluids are routinely involved in propylitic
alteration around porphyry deposits.

197
In Chapter 5 it was shown, based on O- and H-isotopic evidence, that the inflow of heating meteoric waters
toward porphyry thermal centres, as frequently envisaged (e.g. Proffett, 2003; Seedorff et al., 2005; Yang et
al., 2009; Sillitoe, 2010; Halley et al., 2015; Fekete et al., 2016), could not have generated propylitic alteration
at Northparkes. A magmatic contribution to the propylitic domain was necessitated by the data. In the
review of Chapter 5 (section 5.8), it was further shown that stable isotope data from the propylitic facies at
several other porphyry deposits are either limited/inconclusive (Dilles et al., 1992; Parsapoor et al., 2014;
Fekete et al., 2016), or consistent with the involvement of a magmatic fluid component in the domain
(Ballantyne, 1981; Bowman et al., 1987; Norman et al., 1991; Zaluski et al., 1994). Isotopic investigations
have also demonstrated that magmatically-derived C was added during propylitic alteration in the
porphyry Cu-Mo Collahuasi district (Chile; Djouka-Fonkwé et al., 2012) and around the Mantos Blancos Cu
deposit (Chile; Ramírez et al., 2006).

Fluid inclusion constraints on the origin of propylitic alteration are limited. Homogenisation temperatures
broadly indicate formation in the range of 450-150oC (section 5.5.1), in excellent agreement with observed
stable mineral assemblages and results of oxygen isotope and chlorite geothermometry (Chapter 5).
Halite-bearing fluid inclusions, although only rarely reported, usually have salinities of ~40 wt. % NaCl
equivalent (Bodnar et al., 2014). More typically, documented salinity is variable and within the range of 0-
30 wt. % NaCl equivalent (Bodnar et al., 2014). Values of ~33 wt. % are reported for propylitic veins at
Bingham (Bowman et al., 1987), ~5-22 wt. % at Mantos Blancos (Ramírez et al., 2006), 0-7 wt. % at Southwest
Tintic (Norman et al., 1991), 1-20 wt. % at the Chah-Firuzeh Cu deposit of Iran (Iran, Hezarkhani, 2009) and
0-5 wt. % in distal propylitic fluids from El Teniente (Chile, J.J. Wilkinson, 2014, pers. comm.). Kendrick et al.
(2001) studied the noble gas (Ar, Kr, Xe) and halogen (Cl, Br, I) chemistry of both potassic and propylitic
fluid inclusions from the Bingham Cu-Au-Mo deposit (Utah, USA) and several other porphyry Cu deposits
in Arizona, USA. Results were largely inconclusive in that fluids from both alteration facies in all deposits
were thought to be a mixture of meteoric water, magmatic water and air. However, Br/Cl and I/Cl ratios
from the majority of propylitic inclusions strongly suggested that fluid salinity was of a juvenile magmatic
origin.

In contrast to isotopic data, where the extent of possible mixing between magmatic and meteoric fluids in
the propylitic facies is challenging to constrain, the large and variable range in the salinity of reported
propylitic fluid inclusions strongly indicates that such mixing did occur, at least in those deposits studied.
Nevertheless, the very fact that salinities of propylitic fluid inclusions routinely reach 15-30 wt. % NaCl
equivalent and may contain magmatically-sourced halogens, once again strongly suggests the input of
magmatic fluids into the domain.

It therefore appears that magmatic fluids are routinely a component in propylitic alteration at many
porphyry-style deposits and the genetic model developed here for Northparkes and similarly proposed for
Butte by Reed et al. (2013) is potentially of widespread applicability.

6.5 F LUID FLOW IN PORPHYRY MAGMATIC- HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEMS
Naturally, the flow of magmatic and meteoric fluids in and around porphyry deposits cannot be directly
observed. However, in addition to studies which attempt to trace the role of causative fluids in natural
systems, numerical flow modelling has also been applied to the porphyry and magmatic-driven
geothermal environment. Such approaches attempt to predict the behaviour and flow paths of various
fluid types, taking into account such features as variable permeability and phase changes in the H2O-NaCl
system.

Pioneering in this field was the work of Cathles (1977) and Norton and Knight (1977), who produced
numerical models of fluid flow around cooling plutonic bodies emplaced within the shallow (<10 km deep)
crust. Results indicated that large-scale convection cells are established upon pluton emplacement, driving
circulation of cool meteoric waters through the periphery and margins of intrusions and adjacent country
rock. This added credibility, at the time, to the concept that meteoric waters dominate in porphyry systems,
a suggestion based on early O- and H-isotope investigations (Sheppard et al., 1971; Taylor, 1974). However,
it is important to highlight the shortcomings of such early models, which in many respects were far from
geologically realistic. This was mostly owing to the lack of suitable equations and computational power
necessary to represent the real world complexity of the systems (e.g. Ingebritsen et al., 2010). Notably these
2D models assumed continuous steady state fluid flow, driven solely by lateral variations in buoyancy as a
consequence of heating. Even more significantly, permeability was assumed constant through time, equal
in all lithologies and in all directions (isotropic). These boundary conditions effectively force convection
and allow free movement of fluid through the pluton. Further, hot plutons were introduced directly into
water-saturated host rocks, and the possible effects of fluid boiling/phase separation were either ignored
or simplified.

Although subsequent modelling studies still demonstrate the convective circulation of peripheral
meteoric water, its role is now reduced. Flow is focused toward the top of systems (where permeability is
highest) and, in addition to buoyancy, is considered to be controlled by permeability changes and thermal
pressurisation (e.g. Driesner and Geiger, 2007; Ingebritsen et al., 2010; Weis, 2015).

Weis et al. (2012) and Weis (2015), in perhaps the most realistic modelling of porphyry ore systems to date,
have highlighted the importance of dynamic changes in permeability. In these models, a ‘plume’ of
dominantly upwards-infiltrating magmatic fluid is established above the point of discharge, assumed to
be a porphyry intrusion. In the core of this plume, magmatic fluids remain near lithostatically pressured.
This is owing to high temperatures, above the brittle-ductile transition, maintaining a relatively low-
permeability environment into which magmatic fluids are continuously supplied at the plume base. In
contrast, the meteoric waters that surround the plume are subject only to hydrostatic pressure conditions,
and their convective circulation acts to strip heat away from it. Critically, these models demonstrate the
formation of a transient zone of especially low permeability on the margins of the plume, developed as a

199
natural response to the opposing meteoric and magmatic fluid pressure regimes. Such a permeability
boundary effectively prevents any significant mixing between these fluids and prohibits the lateral
infiltration of magmatic fluids. In this way the dominance of magmatic fluids in the core of the alteration
system is readily accounted for. However, this permeability boundary is thought to correspond to
temperatures in the range of 300-500oC, matching the brittle-ductile transition. Based on observed mineral
assemblages, geothermometry and fluid inclusions at Northparkes and/or elsewhere (see review in section
5.5), propylitic alteration clearly occurs at temperatures outside this temperature range (decreasing
outward from ~400oC to ~200 oC across the facies) and thus would straddle any such permeability
boundary. Therefore, the evidence accumulated in this thesis, as well as the evidence from several other
porphyry-style deposits (section 6.4), that strongly indicates the input of magmatic fluids into the propylitic
facies, is at odds with these models.

The discrepancy most likely arises from the assumptions in the models that the country rocks into which
porphyry bodies are emplaced are water-saturated and of isotropic permeability. Further, the models
remain in 2D only and fluid is released from a fixed depth over a fixed 600 m wide zone. The reality -
extreme anisotropy of permeability with fluids discharged episodically at different depths into faulted and
variably saturated rocks – may drastically alter the results of such models and facilitate far more significant
lateral infiltration of magmatic fluids. Indeed, this is demanded by the data and field observations reported
in this thesis. Thus, current flow models do not account for geological observations and still require
significant future refinement to adequately predict the behaviour of real-world natural systems.

Modelling work by Scott et al. (2015) has considered the flow of meteoric water around plutonic igneous
bodies where no magmatic-derived fluid is released. Results suggest that in the first few hundred years,
heated meteoric water is focused directly above the pluton, but that eventually, after a few thousand years,
flow becomes focused along and around its sides instead. As porphyry intrusions usually occur on the tops
and shoulders of cupolas to such plutons, the magmatic-hydrothermal system(s) are developed in areas
where the flow of meteoric fluids has probably already largely diminished, and they would continue to be
shielded from meteoric waters by the underlying plutonic body. Although the accuracy of the model is
again questionable, as isotropic permeability is assumed, it highlights the potentially significant effect that
larger plutonic masses, which underlie many porphyry deposits, may have on the flow of fluids around
them, both prior to and during porphyry mineralisation.

By combining insights from the models of Scott et al. (2015), Weis et al. (2012) and Weis (2015), with the
knowledge that magmatic fluids infiltrate significant distances laterally into the propylitic alteration zone,
it is possible to envisage the broad temporal evolution of fluid flow in a simplified porphyry system (Fig.
6.3). Initially, a plutonic body (parental to later porphyry intrusions) is emplaced at depths of 5-7 km, baking
immediately adjacent country rock into a contact hornfels, and possibly resulting in a zone of albite or
biotite-magnetite alteration (e.g. Northparkes, Chapter 2; El Teniente, Cannell, 2004). Meteoric fluids

200
residing in the country rock begin to be expelled
directly above the pluton, where most heat flux
occurs. Convection starts to develop around the
pluton and any downwards infiltrating meteoric
water is diverted away from the heat source (Fig.
6.3a). In time, the pluton cools progressively
inwards. Despite this, the temperature of country
rocks directly above it continues to rise through
conduction, as cooling meteoric fluids cannot
readily infiltrate and cool the area from below. In
contrast, significant convective flux occurs on the
margins of the pluton, cooling its sides faster; this
flow may also help channel meteoric water away
from the centre of the system (Fig. 6.3b).
Ultimately, porphyry bodies are emplaced,
penetrating through the now crystalline upper
portions of the pluton into pre-heated, higher
crustal levels from which much meteoric water
has already been expelled. Convective
circulation of meteoric waters on the sides of the
pluton continues, and will advance inwards over
time toward the porphyry intrusions, however,
the majority of this flow is still focused away from
them. Further, the relatively impermeable nature
of the crystalline plutonic body helps prevent a
significant flux of meteoric fluid beneath the
level of the porphyry intrusions (Fig. 6.3c).
Magmatic fluids escape mostly through and
around the porphyry bodies, across a large depth
interval. Although many magmatic fluids may
primarily flow upwards given their initial thermal
buoyancy, some magmatic fluids inevitably

its relatively high density (>1 g/cm3, e.g. Rusk et al., 2008). As such it might be expected to infiltrate laterally
and downwards into the country rocks, also exploiting areas of pre-existing permeability.

Magmatic fluids, cooling during infiltration, generate the potassic and surrounding propylitic alteration
zones. Mixing between meteoric and magmatic fluids is probably restricted to the outer and upper edge
of the propylitic domain. Sericitic alteration is developed within areas subject to the prolonged flow of
moderate temperature fluids, again mostly of magmatic origin but potentially with a meteoric component.
Argillic and advanced argillic alteration occurs in the near surface environment, above areas of most
intense magmatic fluid focus (particularly vapours).

6.6 C ONCLUSIONS
Magmatic fluids have been shown, both by empirical evidence and thermodynamic modelling, to be more
than capable of generating not only the potassic but also sericitic, argillic and propylitic alteration facies in
porphyry systems. The progression from potassic, occasionally through sericitic, into propylitic alteration
is scale-independent. This entire alteration zonation can be driven purely by the cooling and reduction in
S2 of a primary magmatic fluid, along with any associated pH changes, as it progressively interacts with
host rocks on the scale of one fracture or, multiplied across several fractures and intergranular permeability
into a large body of altered rock. Such a model is the simplest way of accounting for the hypogene
geochemical dispersion trends observed in whole rock and epidote-chlorite mineral chemistry at
Northparkes, while simultaneously explaining the O-, H- and Sr-isotopic data. Similar geochemical
dispersion profiles, and in some cases isotopic evidence from other porphyry-style deposits worldwide,
also strongly suggests magmatic fluids may drive propylitic alteration in most systems, thus the concept is
unlikely to be unique to Northparkes. Mixing between magmatic and meteoric fluids may occur in the
propylitic zone, but the effect of the latter can only be to dilute the magmatic fluids that must be
responsible for the geochemical dispersion of elements across the facies.

Fluid flow models, although overwhelmingly supporting the convective circulation of meteoric water
around porphyry deposits, by no means preclude the outwards infiltration of magmatic fluids into the
propylitic zone. Lateral migration of magmatic fluids would only be further encouraged by the distinctly
anisotropic nature of country rocks and pre-existing structures which characterise real world systems.
Insights from recent numerical models demonstrate that underlying parental plutons may help ‘shield’
subsequently developed porphyry deposits from a significant flux of meteoric water. Equally, dynamic
changes in permeability, both spatially and temporally during the evolution of the system, are likely to be
important in how flow patterns evolve, with complex, coupled relationships between temperature and
fluid properties. Meteoric fluid influx could be strongly controlled on a case-by-case basis by the
hydrological setting (e.g. climate, topography, emplacement depth) and nature of the country rock
sequence. However, in light of the available evidence and consistent nature of propylitic alteration in all
deposits, its contribution does not appear to be critical to the development of this facies.

APPENDIX C: SAMPLE INFORMATION

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides reference/contextual information for each sample, such as spatial position, rock
type, distance from mineralised centres etc. Sample information from other sources is also collated here.

Source column
All data collected as part of this study is indicated as Pacey (2016), other data sources are as referenced.

Unique sample number column


Samples from this study are referred to using the format NP AP in which: NP = Northparkes, = last
two digits of collection year, AP = initials of the principal investigator (Adam Pacey) and = sample
number. Rock chip samples were collected individually from different 2 m intervals in the same shallow
drillhole, but in certain instances selected chips were later combined together into a single resin block,
producing a composite sample (e.g. NP13AP001+2+3); in these cases, an average spatial position is given.

Hole depth, hole Z and elevation columns


Hole depth is the depth along the drillhole from the collar; hole Z refers to the vertical distance below mine
datum (arbitrarily chosen as sea level + 10,000 m); elevation is the actual height above sea level.

Eastings and northings columns


Grid coordinates, in metres, with respect to AMG Zone 55.

Latitude and longitude columns


Coordinates given in decimal format relative to the WGS-84 datum.

Sample type column


DC = Drill core (diamond); RC = Rock chip drill core; OC = outcrop; SC = subcrop

Deposit relationships and distances


Samples are classed as ‘related to’ a particular deposit when, based on either the position of the sample or
field relationships, it is thought likely that alteration is a consequence of magmatic-hydrothermal activity
at that deposit. Distances given are the 2D/lateral separation from the sample position to the centre of the
presently known orebody.

Lithology column
AFG = alkali feldspar granite; AND = trachyandesite; APL = aplite; BQM = biotite quartz monzonite; B-QMP
= biotite-quartz monzonite porphyry; BSLT = basalt; BTA = basaltic trachyandesite, used by Lickfold (2002)
to refer to the ‘Mafic Zero’; CON = volcanic conglomerate; E34POR = monzonite porphyry in drillhole
E34D3; FLT = fault rock, mostly hydrothermally cemented breccias or samples of vein centres; IBX =
intrusion breccia, usually pure igneous or mix of igneous-hydrothermal cement; K-QMP = K-feldspar-quartz
monzonite porphyry; MAG = vein sample dominated by magnetite; MON = monzonite; MZD =

289
monzodiorite; MZO = the ‘Mafic Zero’ porphyry; PEP = pepperite, with a mix of AND and SST; SST = volcanic
sandstone; SYN = syenite; TR = trachyte; TRS = trachytic sill; TVB = trachytic volcanic breccia/ignimbrite;
ZRO = the ‘Zero’ porphyry. The suffix ‘-S’ is used to indicate samples containing quartz stockwork veining.

Group column
Samples are grouped into larger lithological classifications to facilitate plotting and comparison of data.
For example, syenites and trachytic sills known to be part of the overall biotite quartz monzonite pluton
are all grouped under BQM. Also, samples of no interest for igneous geochemistry (CON, FLT, IBX, MAG,
PEP, SST, TVB) are simply grouped as not applicable (N/A). Definitions are as given above, with the addition
of: DKB = mafic dykes (alkali basalt); NEL INT and VOL = intrusions and volcanic rocks belonging to the
Nelungaloo Volcanics; GOO INT and VOL = intrusions and volcanic rocks belonging to the Goonumbla
Volcanics; WOM INT and VOL = intrusions and volcanic rocks belonging to the Wombin Volcanics.

Alteration (Alt) column


Alteration in all samples was classified as either: PRO = propylitic; SER = sericitic; MAG = magnetite ± biotite;
KFS = K-feldspar. The intensity of alteration in all samples was also classified based on the visually observed
abundance of alteration minerals and veins. For SER, MAG and KFS this was on a simple scale of 1 to 3, with
1 indicating the least intense alteration/almost fresh, through to 3 being intense and usually texturally-
destructive alteration. For PRO, this was on a scale of 0-4, in which 0 is almost fresh and 4 represents total
textural destruction and replacement by alteration minerals; the scale is equal and marks a progressively
increasing abundance of alteration minerals and/or veins.

Mainly vein and least altered columns


If samples are dominated by, or consist entirely of vein fill they are designated as ‘mainly vein’. Samples
designated as ‘least altered’ are those freshest samples in the dataset based on visual inspection, either
with negligible hydrothermal alteration or samples of a particular lithology with least alteration compared
to others. Consequently, these sample offer the best means of characterising primary lithologies.

Representative (Rep) column


Samples analysed for their whole rock geochemistry, which did not contain appreciable vein material, and
in which the alteration intensity was <PRO3, <SER2, <MAG2 or <KFS2 are designated as ‘representative’.
Although not fresh/unaltered, it is thought the bulk whole rock geochemistry of these samples is unlikely
to be significantly affected for use in identifying/interpreting any primary trends in igneous geochemistry.
Hence such samples are representative of the lithology in this sense.

Whole rock (WR) and resin block (RB) columns


Columns simply used to indicate if a sample has associated whole rock geochemical data and/or if a
polished resin block was made. Resin blocks were studied under SEM-BSE, with contained epidote and/or
chlorite analysed via SEM-EDS; LA-ICP-MS mineral chemistry data was then subsequently obtained on
grains in selected blocks.

Appendix C: Sample information


APPENDIX D: WHOLE ROCK SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS AND MAJOR
ELEMENT GEOCHEMISTRY DATASET

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides a written description of all samples for which whole rock geochemical data was
obtained, along with the results of these analyses for major elements. All data is given in wt. %; analytical
procedures are outlined in section 2.5. Data from other sources is also collated here. For clarity, trace
element data from analysis of the same samples is given in Appendix E.

Description column
A general description of each sample is provided in this column, usually along with any particular reason
why the sample was collected. Although in most instances the entirety of the described sample was
analysed, some were collected in two parts: one part retained for subsequent work, the other analysed. In
this case any differences between the two parts are also described, e.g. presence of a vein only in one part
etc.

Veins column
Details of the mineralogy of any veins are given in this column; minerals in brackets were observed within
the vein fill, others in the alteration halo, i.e. (vein fill minerals) + halo minerals.

Further details
All other details are as described for Appendix C.

appear to cut minor calcite veins elsewhere in the area and the

late stage fault which cuts the hole.

Finely porphyritic volcanic rock (lava or sill) likely of basaltic


trachyandesite composition with plagioclase phenocrysts 1-2 mm
long. Cut by two generations of veins of the same mineralogy and

in the part analysed for WR. Epidote is also present throughout as
small patchy texturally destructive blebs (1-3mm dia.) with minor
hematite halos but does not appear to preferentially replace any

numerous fine dark hematite veins, occasionally with calcite which
cut the sample. This chlorite alteration, although pervasive is not
texturally destructive, it simply makes the original texture hard to

Sample of least altered (alteration essentially limited to hematite


development) trachytic material which forms small intrusions (sills)
and is closely related to the biotite quartz monzonite pluton to which

this lithology is poorly receptive to propylitic alteration, and as such

alteration compared to only some magnetite specks in NP13AP074, is
owing to the more mafic nature of the host lithology, as the change is

APPENDIX E: WHOLE ROCK TRACE ELEMENT GEOCHEMISTRY
DATASET

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix tabulates the whole rock trace element geochemistry of those samples described in
Appendix D. All data is given in ppm; analytical procedures are outlined in section 2.5.

Data presentation
Elements are listed from left to right in alphabetical order of their chemical symbol. Owing to the large
number of elements analysed, for clarity each row is spread across two pages. Those elements with a
chemical symbol between A and N are given on the first page, those between N-Z on the second page.

Further details
All other details are as described for Appendix C.

APPENDIX F: CHLORITE MAJOR ELEMENT MINERAL CHEMISTRY
DATASET (SEM-EDS)

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides the results of all SEM-EDS analyses of chlorite, with data given as wt. %. All Fe is
classed as Fe2+, in agreement with mineralogical preference and correlations documented in section 4.4.2.
Each row in the table corresponds to one spot analysis, with the analytical conditions as described in
section 4.3.3.

Unique sample number column


Occasionally two resin blocks were made from one sample to target specific minerals or patches of
alteration, in these cases the different blocks are indicated by the suffix A or B after the sample number.

Chlorite geothermometry columns


Formation temperatures were calculated using several chlorite geothermometry equations: Jowett (1991);
K & M (1985) = Kranidiotis and MacLean (1987); Cathe. (1988) = Cathelineau (1988); Walshe (1989). Based
on the mineral assemblages observed and results of oxygen isotope geothermometry, those temperatures
calculated using the equation of Jowett (1991) are thought most accurate, see section 5.5.6.

Atoms per formula unit columns


Chlorite composition was calculated in terms of atoms per formula unit (apfu) for each analysis based on
28 oxygen equivalents. [iv]Al and [vi]Al, along with Fe2+ and Fe3+ are calculated assuming ideal stoichiometry.
Note as Ti, Ca, Na and K are continually below LOD in this filtered dataset, these columns are omitted.
Results were used to construct a mineral formula for each analysis, as well as to attribute a chlorite sub-
variety name based on the classification scheme of Hey (1954).

Further details
All other details are as described for Appendix C.

Appendix F: Chlorite major element mineral chemistry


APPENDIX G: EPIDOTE MAJOR ELEMENT MINERAL CHEMISTRY
DATASET (SEM-EDS)

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides the results of all SEM-EDS analyses of epidote, with data given as wt. %. All Fe is
classed as Fe3+, in agreement with mineralogical preference and correlations documented in section 4.5.2.
Each row in the table corresponds to one spot analysis, with the analytical conditions as described in
section 4.3.3.

Atoms per formula unit


Epidote composition was calculated in terms of atoms per formula unit (apfu) for each analysis based on
12.5 oxygens equivalents. Note as Ti, Mg, Na and K are continually below LOD in this filtered dataset, these
columns are omitted. Results were used to construct a mineral formula for each analysis; following
Equation 4.1, the molar fraction of end-member epidote (XEp) is also given.

Further details
All other details are as described for Appendix F.

APPENDIX H: CHLORITE TRACE ELEMENT MINERAL CHEMISTRY
DATASET (LA-ICP-MS)

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides the quantified results of all LA-ICP-MS analyses of chlorite, along with associated
quality control, textural information and SEM-EDS data. Owing to the large amount of data, each row in
the table, representing one analysis, is spread across two pages.

Related SEM-EDS data columns


As discussed in section 4.3.4, the abundance of Al in chlorite, as determined by SEM-EDS, was used as an
internal standard during LA-ICP-MS analysis. This corrects the data for the differing physical properties and
ablation characteristics of chlorite in comparison to the external calibration standard NIST 612. Further, as
LA-ICP-MS standards were chosen to optimise analysis of trace elements, the major element composition
of chlorite is far more accurately given by SEM-EDS data.

Consequently, for each LA-ICP-MS spot analysis, SEM-EDS data corresponding to the same mineral grain is
provided; if this was not available, an average of SEM-EDS data acquired from immediately adjacent
mineral grains is given. In the majority of cases this SEM-EDS data also forms part of Appendix F. However,
where an average was used, or if an SEM-EDS analysis showed minor contamination (such as K or Ca), the
data is only provided here. Clearly, the best method of interpreting mineral chemistry, as followed in this
study, is to use SEM-EDS data (e.g. Appendix F) to investigate major elements and LA-ICP-MS data (e.g. this
dataset) to study trace elements.

Also tabulated in this dataset is a chlorite geothermometry temperature estimate for the sample. This was
calculated as the average of the temperature estimates provided in Appendix F for the same sample based
on the equation of Jowett (1991).

Unique sample number column


Occasionally two resin blocks were made from one sample to target specific minerals or patches of
alteration, in these cases the different blocks are indicated by the suffix A or B after the sample number.

Analysis reference column


Laboratory reference number, uniquely identifies each analysis.

Texture and mode columns


Chlorite textures as described in section 4.4.1: MA = massive aggregate; CP = chlorite pseudomorphs after
biotite; SG = singular grains. Mode of occurrence: R = replacement; V = vein-hosted; RAV = replacement
around vein (i.e. in vein alteration halo).

563
Rank column
To aid rapid quality control, each integrated LA-ICP-MS signal was ranked on the scale of 0 to 4 based on
the number of time slices integrated: 0 = <10; 1 = 10-20; 2 = 20-30; 3 = 30-40; 4 = >40. The rank was reduced
by 1 if the integrated signal appeared particularly poor/irregular but was still used.

Slices column
This is the number of mass sweeps/ICP-MS time slices integrated from the LA-ICP-MS signal.

Processing notes column


These are notes written during processing of the LA-ICP-MS signal. They usually describe the part of the
signal which was integrated/quantified, along with a comment on its quality and possible contaminant
elements etc.

LA-ICP-MS results
Overall quantified results from LA-ICP-MS analysis, shown from left to right in order of increasing atomic
mass. All values represent the determined concentration (ppm) of each element in chlorite. Where
concentrations were below LOD, the value is given simply as <LOD.

APPENDIX I: EPIDOTE TRACE ELEMENT MINERAL CHEMISTRY
DATASET (LA-ICP-MS)

E XPLANATORY INFORMATION
General information
This appendix provides the quantified results of all LA-ICP-MS analyses of epidote, along with associated
quality control, textural information and SEM-EDS data. Owing to the large amount of data, each row in
the table, representing one analysis, is spread across two pages.

Related SEM-EDS data columns


As discussed in section 4.3.4, the abundance of Ca in epidote, as determined by SEM-EDS, was used as an
internal standard during LA-ICP-MS analysis. This corrects the data for the differing physical properties and
ablation characteristics of chlorite in comparison to the external calibration standard NIST 612. Further, as
LA-ICP-MS standards were chosen to optimise analysis of trace elements, the major element composition
of epidote is far more accurately given by SEM-EDS data.

Consequently, for each LA-ICP-MS spot analysis, SEM-EDS data corresponding to the same mineral grain is
provided; if this was not available, an average of SEM-EDS data acquired from immediately adjacent
mineral grains is given. In the majority of cases this SEM-EDS data also forms part of Appendix F. However,
where an average was used, or if an SEM-EDS analysis showed minor contamination (such as K or Mg), the
data is only provided here. Clearly, the best method of interpreting mineral chemistry, as followed in this
study, is to use SEM-EDS data (e.g. Appendix G) to investigate major elements and LA-ICP-MS data (e.g. this
dataset) to study trace elements.

Also tabulated in this dataset is a chlorite geothermometry temperature estimate for the sample. This was
calculated as the average of the temperature estimates provided in Appendix F for the same sample based
on the equation of Jowett (1991).

Texture and mode columns


Epidote textures as described in section 4.5.1: ASG = aggregated subhedral grains; BIG = broken and
included grains; CEG = clean euhedral grains. Mode of occurrence: R = replacement; V = vein-hosted; RAV
= replacement around vein (i.e. in vein alteration halo).

Further details
All other details are as described for Appendix H.
