摘要：
The Kambalda gold deposits are characterized by a distinct hydrothermal alteration and fluid evolution with an overall increase in CO(2), salinity and decrease of temperature over time. At the time of gold precipitation, significant increases of CO(2) and variations in the CO(2)/CH(4) ratio of the hydrothermal fluids are recorded that are compatible with large redox gradients during precipitation of gold at the Kambalda gold deposits. The rapid change in physico-chemical conditions points towards pulsating hydrothermal fluid fluxes during multiple seismic events.
