Abstract The Olympiada deposit, containing >1,560 metric tons (t; 50 Moz) of gold at an average grade of 4 to 4.6 g/t Au, occurs in central Siberia, Russia. Over 30 years, the deposit produced more than 580 t of gold, including 200 t from oxidized ore grading 11.1 g/t. The deposit forms a 2-km-long, steeply dipping system, which is traced downdip for 1.7 km. It occurs in the Neoproterozoic orogen of the Yenisei Ridge at the western margin of the Siberian craton. This and other gold deposits in the district are controlled by the large, long-lived Tatarka-Ishimbino tectonic zone, marking a suture between terranes chiefly consisting of deformed Meso- to Neoproterozoic carbonate-clastic sedimentary rocks. The combination of lithologic and structural factors was critical for localization of gold mineralization associated with calcic and siliceous alteration accompanied by early arsenic and late antimony sulfides. As a result, very fine (10 μm) and high fineness (910–997) gold associates with diverse sulfides, especially arsenopyrite, and commonly contains mercury, similar to some characteristics of Carlin-type deposits. Geochronologic studies suggest that mineralization was formed during several stages between 817 and 660 Ma. The isotopic composition of Os and He, along with presence of anomalous Ni, Co, and Pt, points to a mantle mafic source, whereas isotopic composition of Pb and S suggest a contaminated crustal source, i.e., originating from a mix of mantle and crustal fluids.

Abstract. The accuracy of ground deformation modelling at active volcanoes is a principal requirement in volcanic hazard mitigation. However, the reliability of such models relies on the accuracy of the rock physical property (permeability and elastic moduli) input parameters. Unfortunately, laboratory-derived values on representative rocks are usually rare. To this end we have performed a systematic laboratory study on the influence of pressure and temperature on the permeability and elastic moduli of samples from the two most widespread lithified pyroclastic deposits at the Campi Flegrei volcanic district, Italy. Our data show that the water permeability of Neapolitan Yellow Tuff and a tuff from the Campanian Ignimbrite differ by about 1.5 orders of magnitude. As pressure (depth) increases beyond the critical point for inelastic pore collapse (at an effective pressure of 10–15 MPa, or a depth of about 750 m), permeability and porosity decrease significantly, and ultrasonic wave velocities and dynamic elastic moduli increase significantly. Increasing the thermal stressing temperature increases the permeability and decreases the ultrasonic wave velocities and dynamic elastic moduli of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff; whereas the tuff from the Campanian Ignimbrite remains unaffected. This difference is due to the presence of thermally unstable zeolites within the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff. For both rocks we also find, under the same pressure conditions, that the dynamic (calculated from ultrasonic wave velocities) and static (calculated from triaxial stress-strain data) elastic moduli differ significantly. The choice of elastic moduli in ground deformation modelling is therefore an important consideration. While we urge that these new laboratory data should be considered in routine ground deformation modelling, we highlight the challenges for ground deformation modelling based on the heterogeneous nature (vertically and laterally) of the rocks that comprise the caldera at Campi Flegrei.

Permeable sedimentary rocks can often be modeled as an impermeable rock matrix cut by a system of an irregular system of interconnected, irregularly shaped, water‐saturated pore spaces. I represent this system by a multiphase effective medium that is compatible with Archie’s Law for electrical conductivity. My effective medium is an extention of the self‐similar Sen, Scalar, and Cohen model which characterizes sedimentary rocks as a water suspension of spherical solid grains. My generalized multiphase model includes two important components: open water spherelike pockets, which significantly increase the porosity but add little to the electrical conductivity, and thin films surrounding the grains and water‐filled cracks, which contribute little to the porosity but significantly to the electrical conductivity. By perturbing the relative balance between these two model components, I am able to represent a range of aggregates for which I can construct effective media that are consistent with the electrical conductivity predicted by Archie’s Law.
