AMIS0311 Au 102g/t Cu 23.25% greenstone conc Buzwagi Tanzania
Origin of Material: This material was supplied by the open pit Buzwagi Gold and Copper Mine which hosted in the Nzega Greenstone Belt in the Shinyanga Region of Tanzania, six kilometres southeast from the town of Kahama. The mine is operated by African Barrick Gold. The material supplied was described as “final concentrate”.
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).
