Gold Mineralization in Banded Iron Formation in the Amalia Greenstone Belt, South Africa: A Mineralogical and Sulfur Isotope Study

The B lue D ot gold deposit, located in the A rchean A malia greenstone belt of S outh A frica, is hosted in an oxide (± carbonate) facies banded iron formation ( BIF ). It consists of three stratabound orebodies; G oudplaats, A belskop, and B othmasrust. The orebodies are flanked by quartz‐chlorite‐ferroan dolomite‐albite schist in the hanging wall and mafic (volcanic) schists in the footwall. Alteration minerals associated with the main...
