Palladian gold mineralization in Brazil

该项目旨在更好地了解卡拉贾·S(塞拉佩拉达)和米纳斯吉拉斯(贡戈索科和伊塔比拉)富含氧化铁的高品位帕拉迪亚金矿的形成。这些矿藏仍然不符合矿物学特征和适当的地质分类，我们有机会对独特的、迄今无法获取的钻芯材料进行采样。显微分析和块状岩石地球化学工作，加上流体包裹体显微测温和放射性测年技术，将有助于深入了解这种特殊的金钯矿化类型，它可能与目前世界范围内争论的铁氧化物-铜-金成矿群有关。

The project aims at a better understanding of the formation of iron-oxide rich, high-grade palladian gold mineralization in Carajás (Serra Pelada), and Minas Gerais (Gongo Soco and Itabira). These deposits still defy mineralogical characterization and proper geological classification, and we have the opportunity to sample unique and hitherto unaccessible drillcore material. Microanalytical and bulk-rock geochemical work, together with fluid inclusion microthermometry, and radiometric dating techniques will assist in gaining insight into this peculiar gold-palladium mineralization style which may be related to the currently worldwide debated Fe oxide-Cu-Au deposit group.
