gangue: Gold, Magnetite, Olivine, Pyroxene, Sericite, Serpentine, Spinel, Talc, Zoisite
alteration: Most Intense In Clinopyroxene-Rich Rocks. Alteration Is Deuteric, But Also A Result Of Fluids Mobilized During Eastern Gabbro And/Or Granitic Intrusion. Finally Metamorphosed To Amphibolite-Greenschist Facies.
conc_proc: Pgm Dissolved In Sulfide Liquid; Upon Cooling, They Precipitated Out As Monosulfide Solid Solution (Mms). Further Cooling Causes Sulfide Assemblage To Exsolve From Mms.
