Gold concentration during polyphase deformation: Insights from Boulanger Project, French Guiana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Boulanger gold deposit is hosted within the Rhyacian greenstone belts from the Guiana shield located within the North Guiana Through, French Guiana. The Boulanger deposit is characterized by a complex polyphase deformation and mineralization history involving a coaxial shortening phase, D1, followed by a transcurrent deformation event, D2. The main ore bodies consist of a series of quartz-tourmaline-pyrite-carbonate extension and shear veins in response to NNE-SSW shortening event (D1), and adjacent altered host-rocks. The proximal alteration bordering the vein system is characterized by pyrite-tourmaline (main ore assemblage). This shortening event is followed by transcurrent deformation, D2. Locally, D2 is expressed by the formation of N020-030 narrow zones (F2 axial trace) along which D1 structures are reoriented. The structural analysis performed on both S1/0 foliation and on geophysical data interpretation highlights the presence of Type-1 interference patterns. These zones are associated with significant gold enrichment and the presence of a new ore assemblage dominated by pyrrhotite-pyrite. Quantitative structural analysis approach, based on measured foliations (S1/0) and gold grade demonstrates that D2-related folding is associated with important gold endowment. These findings suggest that the characterization of the exact fold interference pattern is fundamental for the targeting of favorable enriched zones at the deposit scale.

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.
