摘要

Archean Banded Iron Formation (BIF) hosts high-grade (>55% Fe) iron ore at the Matthew Ridge prospect, in the Jack Hills greenstone belt, of the Narryer terrane, Yilgarn Craton. The ca 3000 Ma (SHRIMP U–Pb on zircons) Algoma-type BIF contains magnetite–hematite ore zones that are a product of successive overprinting hydrothermal alteration events. Rock types in the prospect area include Archean gneiss, metasedimentary rocks and BIF that are interlayered with dolerite. All rocks record peak amphibolite metamorphic mineral assemblages that are variably replaced by greenschist facies metamorphic minerals. Hypogene iron ore formed owing to: (1) the replacement of primary silica-rich bands in the quartz–magnetite BIF by Stage 1 hypogene magnesite and magnetite alteration; and (2) subsequent removal of Stage 1 magnesite to concentrate residual Stage 1 magnetite. These magnetite-rich ore bodies define <50 m-long by 20 m-wide lenses that trend NE and coincide with the hinge zones of Zshaped, tight F_1 folds, which are most likely parasitic folds to the regional NE-trending, steeply NEplunging anticline in the Jack Hills greenstone belt. Magnetite-rich ore zones are enriched in Fe and depleted in SiO_2, with only minor changes in other major oxides and trace elements, compared with least-altered BIF. Magnetite-rich ore zones are locally cut by shear zone-hosted, talc–magnetite hydrothermal alteration overprinted by talc–microplaty hematite alteration. The shear zones and both talc mineral assemblages formed during a second deformation event that was characterised by NNE–SSE shortening. The third deformation event resulted in at least two generations of NE- to NW-trending extensional veins and strike-slip faults that locally cut the talc-rich shear zones. Supergene goethite– hematite replaces magnetite-rich ore bodies within 80 m of the present surface. The strong structural control and distinct hydrothermal alteration assemblages of the Matthew Ridge prospect are the best exploration indices for high-grade magnetite-rich ore in the region.
