摘要

The Okiep Copper District is part of the Mesoproterozoic Namaqua Metamorphic Province of the Northern Cape, South Africa. The Klondike steep structure is developed in the c. 1100 Ma Nababeep Gneiss north of Okiep and it contains a number of basic bodies, some of which contain sulphide mineralization. The steep structure is essentially a ductile shear affecting the regional S_2 fabric and it displays a complicated deformational history linked to the syntectonic emplacement of the basic bodies during D_3 horizontal shortening. The steep structure may have been initiated as shears at the tip of large-scale cusps which developed in response to horizontal shortening of a lower crustal mafic magma chamber. It was modified by the migrating basic magma which rose up through the crust from these cusps, eventually solidifying into stationary basic bodies. Intrusion morphology was controlled by fractures which developed in response to rapid strain rates associated with magma injection. The largest basic body along the Klondike steep structure solidified within 100 years of emplacement. Modification of the Klondike steep structures took place due to synchronous horizontal shortening of the country rocks at lower regional strain rates, resulting in zones of contact strain around the competent basic bodies. In essence, the Copper District is a section through the middle crust where syntectonic basic intrusions became frozen into position during their ascent.
