Felsic metavolcanic rocks at Matt Berry: A new deposit model
Description
Exhalative Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization of the Matt Berry deposit is hosted in polydeformed black shale that is underlain by a strongly deformed felsic schist. The copper-rich nature of the ore, volcanic textures in the ore contacts, and the presence of alkaline felsic metavolcanic rocks beneath the deposit, suggest that the mineralization fits a mineral deposit model intermediate between sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) end members.
