Zusammenfassung
Recent studies have identified gold nanoparticles in ores in a range of deposit types, but little is known about their formation processes. In this contribution, gold-bearing magnetite from the well-documented, world-class Beiya Au deposit, China, was investigated in terms of microstructure and crystallography at the nanoscale. We present the first three-dimensional (3D) focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) tomography of the distribution of gold nanoparticles in nanopores in the low-Si magnetite. The porous low-Si magnetite, which overprints an earlier generation of silician magnetite, was formed by a coupled dissolution-reprecipitation reaction (CDRR). The extrinsic changes in thermodynamic conditions (e.g., S content and temperature) of the hydrothermal fluids resulted in the CDRR in magnetite and the disequilibrium of Au-Bi melts. The gold nanoparticles crystallized from Au-supersaturated fluids originating from the disequilibrium of Au-Bi melts and grew in two ways depending on the intrinsic crystal structure and pore textures: (1) heteroepitaxial growth utilizing the (111) lattice planes of magnetite, and (2) randomly oriented nucleation and growth. Therefore, this study unravels how intrinsic and extrinsic factors drove the formation of gold nanoparticles at fluid-mineral interfaces.
