AMIS0310 Au 1.03g/t Cu 1399ppm Greenstone Buzwagi Tanzania
Origin of Material: This material was supplied by the open pit Buzwagi Gold and Copper Mine, hosted in the Nzega Greenstone Belt in the Shinyanga Region of Tanzania, 6 kilometres southeast from the town of Kahama. The mine is operated by African Barrick Gold. The material supplied was described as “rougher feed”.
Approximate Mineral and Chemical Composition: The Nzega Belt is comprised of basalts and intermediate volcanics intruded by granitoid masses. Buzwagi is a shear hosted quartz-veined deposit, hosted in porphyritic granite. Gold mineralisation occurs in association with sulphides (pyrite) and quartz and as free grains, while copper mineralisation occurs as primary sulphides (chalcopyrite).
