Base-metal mineralization occurs widely in the rocks of the Garhwal Group of Proterozoic Lesser Himalayan Sequence, viz. Dhanpur, Pokhri and Mohankhal prospects, but gold (Au) associated with such mineralization is rarely recorded from Garhwal Himalaya. Here we report significant incidences of gold associated with sulphide mineralization in dolomitehosted quartz-carbonate veins of Pithoragarh (=Lameri) Formation from Lameri-Koteshwar area, in parts of Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, India.

Abstract


Base-metal mineralization occurs widely in the rocks of the Garhwal Group of Proterozoic Lesser Himalayan Sequence, viz. Dhanpur, Pokhri and Mohankhal prospects, but gold (Au) associated with such mineralization is rarely recorded from Garhwal Himalaya. Here we report significant incidences of gold associated with sulphide mineralization in dolomitehosted quartz-carbonate veins of Pithoragarh (=Lameri) Formation from Lameri-Koteshwar area, in parts of Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, India.
