    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Hydrothermal veränderte granitische Gesteine kommen am nördlichen und nordwest-lichen Rand von dem vor, was man klassisch als “Witwatersrand-Becken” bezeichnet. Während dieser hydrothermalen Umwandlung wurden Pyrit, Kupferkies, Zinkblende, Molybdänglanz, Bleiglanz, Wurtzit und andere Sulfide abgesetzt, ebenso Uran- und SEE-reiche Knollen aus kohliger Substanz und Freigold. Erhitzungs- und Ausfrierdaten von sekundären Fluideinschlüssen in Gesteinsquarz, ebenso wie von primären Fluideinschlüssen in Gangquarz und Karbonat weisen darauf hin, daß zwei Hauptgruppen von wäßrigen Fluideinschlüssen existieren. Der Bereich der finalen Schmelztemperaturen der ersten Gruppe liegt zwischen 0 °C und −9 °C, was einer Salinität zwischen 0 und 13 äquiv. Gew.-% NaCl entspricht. Homogenisierung erfolgte bei Temperaturen zwischen 130 °C und 230 °C. Die zweite Gruppe von Einschlüssen hat im allgemeinen finale Schmelztemperaturen zwischen −14 °C und −26 °C, mit Salinitäten, die sich zwischen 12 und 30 äquiv. Gew.-% NaCl bewegen. Die Homogenisierungstemperaturen variieren von 120 °C bis ungefähr 170 °C. Die niedrigen initialen Schmelztemperaturen von −60 °C bis −35 °C und SEM-EDX-Analysen von Inkrustationen, die sich nach der Verdunstung der Flüssigkeit in geöffneten Einschlüssen bilden, weisen auf Ca, Cl und S als weitere Bestandteile. Gelegentliches Clathratschmelzen in beiden Typen von Fluiden zeigt die Anwesenheit von CO2, CH, und einigen anderen Clathratbildnern. Die niedrigsalinaren Fluide werden als von meteorischem, Seewasser oder metamorphem Ursprung gedeutet, während die hochsalinaren Fluide als “con.nate brines” oder sehr gereifte Formationswässer angesehen werden.
    Notes: Summary Hydrothermally altered granitic rocks occur along the northern and northwestern edge of what is classically termed the “Witwatersrand Basin”. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, molybdenite, galena, wurtzite and other sulphides were deposited during this hydrothermal alteration, as were uranium and REE-rich nodules of carbonaceous matter and free gold. Heating and freezing data from secondary fluid inclusions in igneous quartz as well as primary fluid inclusions in vein quartz and carbonate indicate that two main groups of aqueous fluid inclusions exist. The first group has a range of final melting temperatures from 0 °C to −9 °C, corresponding to salinities between 0 and 13 equivalent wt.% NaCl. Homogenization occurred at temperatures between 130 °C and 230 °C. The second group of inclusions generally have final melting temperatures between −14 °C and −26 °C, with salinities ranging between 12 and 30 equivalent wt.% NaCl. Homogenization temperatures range from 120 °C to about 170 °C. The low initial melting temperatures of -60°C to −35°C and SEM-EDX analyses of encrustations formed after evaporation of fluid in opened inclusions indicate as additional components Ca, Cl and S. Rare clathrate melting in both types of fluids indicate the presence of CO2, CH4 or some other clathrate compound. The low salinity fluids are interpreted to be of a meteoric, seawater or metamorphic origin, whereas the highly saline fluids are thought to be connate brines or highly evolved formation waters.

    Notes: Abstract Hydrothermal alteration of peraluminous granitic rocks, occurring at Varkenskraal, northwest of the Witwatersrand Basin, consists of two major styles. The first style, pervasive in nature, is represented by two stages: i) A propylitic alteration and ii) A disseminated sericitization. Both alteration stages were accompanied by a deposition of disseminated sulphides. The second style is represented by a vein related alteration in four stages including potassium feldspar, minor carbonate and minor sulphide mineralization. Nodules of uraniferous carbonaceous matter and small amounts of particulate gold could possibly be associated with either one or both styles. Hydrothermally altered rocks of similar nature have been observed in a number of other localities close to the Witwatersrand Basin. Their abundance, large volumes and low-grade, disseminated pyrite/gold mineralization indicate that rocks of this type could have been the provenance of the Witwatersrand gold-bearing sediments.
