Structural Regional Studies along The Carlin Trend and in the Central Betze Orebody, Goldstrike Mine

by Stephen G. Peters (U.S. GeoLogical Survey, Reno Field Office, Mackay SchooL of

Mines , University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada 89557-0047)

Abstract

1). Two structural domains are present in the area of the Carlin trend area: Domain I, an area of NE-SW-trending, shallow-plunging axial planes, mostly in the Orodivieian Vinini Formation; and, Domain II, a narrow NW -trending zone which contains mainly NNW -SSE­trending, shallow-plunging fold axes--mainly involving "lower plate" rocks, but also some upper plate rocks of the Roberts Mountain allochthon.

2). A consistent structural grain is present within the Carlin trend. The linear fabric is defined by the NNW-SSE-trending fold axes. The planar fabric is a NW-striking, 30 deg., NE-dipping zone, which contains both the NNE-trending, older axes and has rotated them to the west. This plane is the axial plane to all folds along the Carlin trend. Many stecp­dipping, blittle faults along the Carlin trend, such as the Post Fault, contain the plunge of the NNW fold axes., which are co-planar with the fold axes. NE-trending brittle faults are commonly coplanar with the older NE-SW axes.

3). The Central Betze orebody is hosted within the Dillon deformation zone, whieh cross cuts the nose of the Betze syncline, and strikes parallel to much of the Devonian Popovich­granodiorite contact. The orebody is also hosted within the Betze anticline, which may have formed as the result of shear folding along the Dillon deformation zone.

4). At least six separate ore types are defined within the Central Betze orebody, based on geologic setting, mineralogy, geochemistry and morphology. The ore types are partitioned spatially within the orebody in discrete oreshoots, which have demonstrable spatial relationships to the Popovich-Devonian(?) Rodeo Creek and Popovieh-granodiOlite contacL<; and the Dillon deformation zone. The oreshoots are zoned from the footwall to the hangingwall of the orebody, with pyrite ores on the outside (top), arsenic ores in the center, and antimony ores at the bottom.
