Based on different textural features of ore minerals and gangue.) rrs
well as intergrowth relationships, the paragenetic sequence has
been subdivided into four paragenetic stages. Stage one is
characterized by an assemblages of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite,
sphalerite, cubanite, gersdofite, ulmanite, pentIandite and
mackinswite. The sulphide minerals mainly occur in the wall rocks
and me inherited as relic in awifmus quartz veins, In stage two,
pyrite replaces pyrrhotite along grain boundaries. Finger-like
protrusion of pyrite in pyrrhotite is common, Stage three is
represented by the last pyrite generation. This pyrite stage occurs in
late quartz veinlets cutting across the schistosity. Stage four
includes gold, electrum, galena and tellurides. These minerals are
confined to laminated or banded quark veins and their wall rocks,
Gold and tellurides always occur as inclusions in galena pig. 9).
