The significance of post depositional alteration for the genesis of Witwatersrand-type gold based on the examples of the Jacobina and Moeda gold deposits in Brazil
The Witwatersrand goldfields in South Africa contain some of the largest gold deposits known on Earth and represent one of the main sources of the metal produced by modern gold mining industry. It is estimated that one third of the total gold ever mined was extracted from that part of the world. As a result, the economic geology of the Witwatersrand gold deposits has been the subject of extensive research in many institutions around the globe and became a well-established class of gold deposit known in the literature as the Witwatersrand-type gold deposits. Since the discovery in 1886 many other occurrences of the same category were recognized in different continents, e.g., the Fortescue Basin in Western Australia, Bababudan Group in India, Huronian Supergroup in Canada and the Jacobina and Moeda basins in Brazil (Frimmel 2014). The objective of the proposed study is to address, in a comparative way, the two Brazilian examples: the Jacobina and the Moeda gold deposits.
The Jacobina deposits are located near Jacobina Town in the Bahia State, northeast Brazil, whereas the Moeda deposits are located 2,000 km to the south, in the Minas Gerais State, southeast Brazil (Figure 1). The Jacobina deposits, with total estimated resources of 300 metric tons (t) of gold, are larger than the Moeda deposits and so far have been far more productive. Jacobina, currently operated by Yamana Gold Inc., produces approximately 4 t of gold per year. The total resources for Moeda have not been established, as it has not been fully explored. Jaguar Mining Inc., who mined the Moeda deposits continuously between 2008 and 2012, estimated around 70 t of gold around old colonial workings. The operation was halted in 2012 and placed in care and maintenance.
