Abstract
Abstract Lead isotopic compositions were determined for sulphides from Pliocene‐Pleistocene gold‐bearing veins in the Alpine Schist and from Miocene gold‐bearing veins and vein breccias from the Shotover‐Macetown area in the northwest Otago Schist belt. The lead isotopic signatures are consistent with derivation of Pb in the vein minerals predominantly from metasedimentary rocks that underlie the region. Differences in Pb isotopic signatures between deposits are interpreted to result from lateral and vertical lithological variability within the source rock mass. The host rocks also contain metabasic rocks with N‐MORB, E‐MORB or within‐plate basalt chemistry. However, the observed Pb isotopic signatures in the gold‐bearing veins preclude incorporation of significant amounts of Pb from the metabasites. The Pb isotopic signatures of lamprophyre dikes that were intruded into the Otago Schist coeval with Miocene gold mineralisation are distinctly more radiogenic than those of the hydrothermal veins. Thus, although the lamprophyre dikes were emplaced into similar extensional structural sites to the gold‐bearing veins, there was no genetic relationship between lamprophyre dikes and gold mineralisation.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
