The mineralization zone on the Akasaba West property consists of a low-grade mineralized envelope characterized by the widespread presence of finely disseminated chalcopyrite; the mineralization is primarily contained within the quartz diorite unit.The gold was thought to be associated with stratiformed disseminated to semi-massive lenses of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite hosted in mafic lapilli tuffs and brecciated basalt altered with epidote- hornblend-actinolite related to contact metamorphism. The genesis of the deposit remains very controversial. Two master thesis present two different hypothesis. One of those masters (Lev Vorobiev, 1998) supports the hypothesis that the mineralization is emplaced during skarn development whereas the other the (Jeanne Lebel, 1987) was in favor a VMS genesis hypothesis. It is possible that the actual Akasaba deposit characteristics and geometry is a result of an overprinting of several gold mineralization events (hydrothermal, orogenic and skarn).Goldex is a large, relatively low-grade orebody defined by the intensity of stockwork veins and gold grades rather than by individual veins. Most of the gold occurs as microscopic particles associated with pyrite, while the rest occurs as coarse native gold grains. There are several zones of gold mineralization with isolated ore-grade intercepts over mineable widths on the property, and all of them except the South Zone are hosted by the Goldex Granodiorite.The satellite Akasaba West property located 30 km from Goldex hosts a low-grade, gold-mineralized envelope characterized by the widespread presence of finely disseminated chalcopyrite; the mineralization is primarily contained within the quartz diorite unit.
