Abstract
Quartz texture, mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of ore minerals in A east pit
of Chatree deposit were investigated to characterize the high grade gold mineralization. The deposit
is characterized by quartz-carbonate-chlorite-adularia-pyrite veins and breccias intruding
volcaniclastic sedimentary to andesitic volcanic breccia. Gold and electrum form as inclusion, fine-
grained and mainly concentrated in pyrite host, based on quartz textural and petrological analysis.
Adularia occur as multiple-phase inclusion of gold in pyrite host and rhodochrosite occur as gangue
mineral and associated with gold bearing sulphide. The vein samples studies also associated with
telluride enriched in electrum grain. Mineralized of quartz with a various textures includes banding,
plumose, comb-zonal, moss, ghost-sphere and saccharoidal texture. The banded and plumose quartz
texture are most closely associated with high grade gold and the most common texture of the vein
samples studies.
