Abstract:

Long-lived and geochemically mature high-sulfidation epithermal systems offer the opportunity to examine mineralogic changes that represent the vertically-directed collapse  of well-developed hydrothermal systems. Minerals stable in the topographically higher

and cooler epithermal domains become stable in the former higher-temperature, deeper environments as the system wanes and collapses, with depression of the near-surface assemblages to those characterizing near-porphyry environments. Such vertical collapse may extend up to +/- 1.5km from the paleosurface.

The most sensitive minerals reflecting system geochemical subsidence are volatile-rich,  and may coexist with late magmatic minerals formed in the earliest stages of a  waxing hydrothermal system.  The progressive and sequential collapse of large hydrothermal systems may be recognized in exploration drill holes as distinct mineral overprinting indicated by  paragenetic relationships and juxtaposed mineral assemblages unrelated to faulting.
