Vein System and Mineralization
• Stage I: quartz + magnetite+ chalcopyrite-pyrite + sphalerite + orthoclase + biotite veinlets associated with K-silicate alteration.
• Stage II: anhydrite + chlorite + pyrite + quartz+ calcite + chalcopyrite veinlets crosscutting Stage I veinlets.
• Stage III: dominated by cryptocrystalline gray quartz. Early stage of epithermal mineralization.
• Stage IV: quartz + pyrite + adularia+ K-mica + rhodochrosite with minor mangano-calcite (Stage IV-A); calcite with lesser amounts of quartz and base-metal sulfides (Stage IV-B).
• Stage V: anhydrite with lesser quartz, calcite and pyrite. Anhydrite infills and crosscuts vein stages III and IV.

Vein System and Mineralization
Taka Barr Vein
• Exhibits Internal zoning
• These bands clearly reflect multiple pulses of mineralization.
• Au-rich zones are confined within the vein and in the argillized host rock

ConclusionQuartz diorite, gabbro, and andesite.
Two varieties of quartz diorites noted: an older mafic-rich (~40%
hornblende) diorite and a younger, more felsic (<10 hornblende ±biotite) type
Earlier deformation is mostly expressed as joints and faults, usually
oriented NW-SE with steep dips (50-70 to subvertical)
Mineralized brittle fabrics within the Sangilo mine are marked by NE, NNE
and due west- trending veins. These structures clearly cut across gabbro,
hornblende diorites and quartz diorite providing no genetic link between
these bodies (as a causative event) and mineralization.
LITHOLOGIES
PRE-MINERALIZED AND MINERALIZED STRUCTURES
Extension from dilational jogs formed between the northerly splays
(probably related to the Tuba and Tebbo faults) of the Philippine Fault
Zone likely provided the conduit for circulating mineralizing hydrothermal
fluids in the region

Next Steps
• Additional surface and UG fieldwork within and outside the Sangilo mine site
• Fault Kinematic Analysis to study the structures and microstructures that develop
during faulting in order to identify the sense of motion across faults and shear zones
• Geochronologic and isotopic/fluid studies for better constraint on the linkage
between the Balatoc plug/other magmatic episodes and the mineralization in the
Sangilo mine site
