The siliciclastic \u201cupper plate\u201d rocks above the thrust are poor hosts for<br \/>\nCarlin gold mineralization; a consequence of limited reactivity with Carlin ore fluids<br \/>\n(inhibiting gold precipitation) and relatively lowpermeability.Nevertheless, ore fluids<br \/>\nresponsible for mineralization in the lower plate must have drained through upper<br \/>\nplate lithologies along structural conduits. Previous studies suggest that ore fluids<br \/>\nwere moderately acidic (pH = 4.3\u20134.4), lowtemperature (180\u2013240\u00b0C), and lowsalinity<br \/>\n(2\u20133 wt.% dissolved NaCl equivalent).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":""},"product_cat":[154],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2499"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2499"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gsnv.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
