Geology and age of the Morrison porphyry Cu–Au–Mo deposit, Babine Lake area, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Morrison porphyry Cu–Au–Mo deposit is genetically and spatially related to Eocene plagioclase–hornblende–biotite porphyry intrusions. One porphyry intrusion yielded a U–Pb age of 52.54 ± 1.05 Ma. Mineralization occurs in three stages: (1) vein-type and disseminated chalcopyrite and minor bornite (associated with potassic alteration and gold mineralization); (2) vein-type molybdenite (associated with weak phyllic alteration); and (3) polymetallic sulfide–carbonate veins (dolomite ± quartz–sphalerite–galena–arsenopyrite–chalcopyrite, associated with weak sericite–carbonate alteration). Re–Os dating of molybdenite yielded ages of 52.54 ± 0.22 and 53.06 ± 0.22 Ma, similar to the age of the host porphyry intrusion. Stage 1 vein fluids were predominantly of magmatic origin: Th = 400–526 °C; salinity = 39.8–47.8 wt.% NaCl equiv.; δ18Ofluid = 3.7‰–6.3‰; disseminated chalcopyrite–pyrite δ34SCDT = 0.2‰ and −0.8‰ (CDT, Canyon Diablo Troilite). Stage 2 fluids were a mixture of magmatic and meteoric water: Th = 320–421 °C; salinity = 37.0–43.1 wt.% NaCl equiv.; δ18Ofluid values range from 0.3‰ to 3.4‰; molybdenite and pyrite δ34SCDT = −2.1‰ and −1.2‰. Stage 3 fluids were predominantly of meteoric water origin: Th = 163–218 °C; salinity = 3.1–3.9 wt.% NaCl equiv.; δ18Ofluid = −2.3‰ to 3.9‰ for early vein quartz, and 1.1‰ to 6.1‰ for late vein dolomite; sphalerite and pyrite δ34SCDT = −7.1‰ to −5.6‰. Morrison is interpreted to be a typical porphyry Cu–Au–Mo deposit related to a calc-alkaline to a high-K calc-alkaline diorite to granodiorite intrusive suite, generated in a continental arc in response to early Eocene subduction of the Kula–Farallon plate beneath North America.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
