Silicification; hydrothermal alteration in an Archean geothermal system within the Amulet Rhyolite Formation, Noranda, Quebec

H. L. Gibson, D. H. Watkinson, and C. D. A. Comba

Falconbridge Copper, Noranda, PQ, Canada
Carleton Univ., Canada
Kidd Creek Mines, Canada

Silicified andesitic flows, divided into two alteration facies; mottled (epidote-quartz altered) andesite and silicified andesite. Silicification was contemporaneous with volcanism. Silicified andesites of the Amulet Rhyolite are products of extensive regional alteration and present a larger exploration target for massive sulfide deposits than does proximal chloritic and sericitic alteration beneath orebodies.--Modified journal abstract.
