Mesothermal Lode Gold Deposit Central Belt Peninsular Malaysia

Mesothermal Lode Gold Deposit Central Belt Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Malaysia had already established itself as one of the important gold producer long before the development of the great gold-fields such as in South Africa, Australia and USSR (Chu & Singh, 1986; Becher, 1983; Santokh Singh, 1977). Prior to the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511, the country was known as the “Aurea Chesonese” or “Golden Peninsular”. Malaysia has a long history of widespread small-scale gold mining throughout the country, especially in the Central Belt of Peninsular Malaysia and highly potential region for gold mining industry. The Central “Gold” Belt is a 20km wide, a major N-S trend of gold mining districts that shows the important role of hydrothermal fluids in the development of gold in Peninsular Malaysia, especially in the North Pahang and Kelantan area (Ariffin & Hewson, 2007; Yeap, 1993; Lee et al. 1986; Proctor, 1972; Richardson, 1939). The majority of the gold production apparently came from the states of Pahang and Kelantan within the Central Belt (Fig. 1). A study of literatures covering the geology of the Central Belt goldfield shows the important role of hydrothermal fluids in the formation of gold deposits (Yeap, 1993; Lee et al. , 1982 , 1986; Alexander, 1949; Proctor, 1972; Richardson, 1939, 1950; Scrivenor, 1931, 1928, 1911). In Kelantan which is located in the north, gold mineralization typically associated with hydrothermal quartz vein system, skarn and volcanogenic massive sulphides (Teoh, et al., 1987; Chu & Singh, 1986; Chu, 1983). The regional geochemical survey for gold, carried out by Mineral and Geosciences Department of Malaysia over the Central Belt in North Pahang and Kelantan, has defined a 20-km-wide, north–south-trending gold mineralization in the Raub-Kuala Medang-Lipis-Merapoh area in Pahang, including Ulu Sokor-Sungai Sok-Katok Batu-Pulai in Kelantan ( Figs 1 and 2). Gold mineralization in the Central Gold Belt is generally categorized as a low mesothermal lode gold deposit due to its tectonic and geological setting.
