It is thought to be the expression of a deep-seated mineralizing system tapping a basement lineament.Mineralization at Goldstrike is controlled by a complex and poorly understood structural regime that includes a low-angle thrust fault and a northeast-striking set of arcuate high-angle faults.  The latter bound a sequence of horsts and grabens along which silica-related gold mineralization was introduced into a Tertiary sandstone host.  Low-grade disseminated gold occurs in silicified hydrothermal breccias, silica flooded sandstone, and jasperoidal limestone.  Mineralization, which is associated with arsenic, mercury, and antimony, resembles \"Carlin-type\" in many respects.Tenneco Minerals and its successor USMX mined twelve near-surface deposits in the Goldstri...
