摘要

The Neoarchaean Ventersdorp Supergroup represents a fully evolved bimodal volcano-sedimentary succession on the Kaapvaal Craton. Stratigraphic information was mainly derived from exploration drilling for gold in the underlying Witwatersrand Supergroup. Following the basal flood basalts of the Klipriviersberg Group, the Platberg Group mostly comprises extensive and voluminous intermediate to felsic volcanics of the Goedgenoeg and Makwassie Formations. Detailed stratigraphic and geochemical reports of these two formations were previously mostly restricted to the so-called Bothaville gap, between the Free State and Klerksdorp Gold Fields. The lower part of the Goedgenoeg Formation succession consists of non-porphyritic andesitic lava flows, followed upwards by dacitic phenocryst-rich feldspar porphyries. The basal lava flows are frequently interbedded with sedimentary rocks of the underlying Kameeldoorns Formation. Andesitic lava-flow units persist upwards, occurring interbedded with the Goedgenoeg Formation feldspar porphyries. The feldspar porphyries originated as ash flows; most are highly welded. The upper feldspar porphyries in the succession are absent in large parts of the Bothaville gap. The overlying Makwassie Formation consists of quartz porphyries, also with intermittent interbedded mafic lava units throughout the succession. The upper part of the succession is composed of phenocryst-rich crystal tuffs, only preserved over limited areas of the Bothaville gap. The quartz porphyries are highly welded, high-temperature ash flows with individual flows of tens of metres in thickness, typically separated by thin tuffs and sediments. The Goedgenoeg and Makwassie interbedded andesitic lavas have similar geochemical composition (the geochemical composition of the overlying Rietgat Formation lavas is also similar to that). The Goedgenoeg dacitic feldspar porphyries are separated into two geochemical groups: a lower high-Zr group and an upper low-Zr group. The Makwassi
