It is an interesting question and one I am going to beat the crap out of you on until you scream "uncle, please, with cherries on top, I will never step out of line again, on the pain of a fate far worse than death" a 1000 times over at the top of your lungs.
"A wide variety of gold-bearing lode occurrences is known or inferred to exist in the Stewart River map area. These include mesothermal (‘metamorphogenic’) quartz veins such as those in the Klondike District (Fig. 1; Rushton et al., 1998), intrusion-hosted veins such as the Longline occurrence in the Moosehorn Range (southwest corner of Fig. 1; MacDonald, 2001), epithermal vein systems (Glasmacher and Friedrich, 1992), gold-bearing skarns, gold in carbonate-altered ultramafi c rocks such as those found in the Sixtymile District (west of the Yukon River on Fig. 1; R. Hulstein, pers. comm., 1999), and preciousmetal enriched volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Known and inferred ages for intrusion-related gold mineralization in the study area range from Early Jurassic to Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary. "
They do appear to have the gamut of types of deposition in the map area. |
