At the Beta-Hunt mine, orogenic gold and komatiite-hosted massive nickel sulphide mineralisation are locally coincident. This indicates that crustal architecture plays a role in the localisation of the two mineral systems. A structural framework was derived based on field observations to evaluate how both mineral systems may have been influenced by the crustal architecture. We show that the deposition of komatiite-hosted massive nickel sulphide mineralisation was controlled by SW-dipping D0 growth faults. These structures were reactivated during a SW-NE directed basin inversion (D1). During this inversion, strain within the deposit was partitioned into SW-dipping reverse shear planes along lithological contacts and steeply SW-dipping foliation corridors associated with early growth faults. Ductile deformation was assisted by fluid migration causing strong hydrothermal alteration and deposition of gold. During subsequent D2 extension, the steep foliation corridors became dilated. D2 phase coincided with a major fluid flux, which led to the formation of moderately and steeply NE-dipping hydraulic extension veins and thick sub-vertical breccia veins following D1 steep structural corridors. This event represents the main phase of gold deposition. We suggest that at Beta Hunt, early growth faults related to the formation of nickel sulphide mineralisation were also critical for the formation of high-grade gold mineralisation.
