Notes de l'éditeur
- Polyphase folding – defined by lithological units and EM conductor Superimposed ductile-brittle (E-W) and brittle structures (NNE and NNW) Pink is Archean, grey, yellow and blue metasediments, red – pegmatites
- Point out E-W brittle fault Point out where map on next slide is
- Explain colors – point to them NE, NNW brittle faults, E-W shears Approximate locations of first 3 drill holes, all hit mineralization. Pegmatites intrude sub parallel to dominant regional gneissosity
- Unmineralized pegmatites tend to be later, but not always the case Some pegmatites folded!
- Emphasize they are granitic Complex variable bt-rich to qtz-rich to k-sp rich; mineralization greatest within biotite rich quartz rich pegmatites Complexly zoned because of AFC processes Subdivided into two groups U-enriched vs. Th + REEs
- Make axes test larger, move pegmatites in legend to top, bold pegmatites, space between Talk about pegmatites first then pelitic gneiss
- Predominantly peraluminous Classified as s-type granitoids
- Digress to talk about the host rocks to the granitic pegmatites since their metamorphic grade is important NO prograde metamorphic muscovite
- Bottom photo shows a uranium mineralized pegmatite from WYL-08-524 intruding into migmatitic gneisses
- Introduce title and that it is a cross-section Melt Transfer zone Bottom part gt rich Mid crd + gt Upper crd Gt in pegmatites – coming from deeper, gt-sill-crd host rock, middle to upper zone
- Basement relationships very similar, point out structures Similar to Rössing (one of the largest open pit U mines) and Rössing South
