Abstrak
Longgokan emas Buffalo Reef di Jalur Tengah Semenanjung Malaysia merupakan
longgokan jenis orogeni yang berkongsi banyak cirian geologi dengan longgokan
emas orogeni lain di rantau ini. Batuan perumah di Buffalo Reef didominasi oleh
batuan sedimen iaitu syal, syal berkarbon, batu lodak, batu lumpur, batuan
metamorf gred rendah (sabak) dan batuan volkanik. Komposisi isotop Pb bagi sulfida di dalam
telerang kuarza dan batuan perumah daripada longgokan emas Buffalo Reef
dilaporkan dalam kajian ini sebagai salah satu kaedah untuk menentukan sumber
larutan pembentuk bijih, julat sempadan usia (modal age) dan sekitaran tektonik. Hasil kajian ini kemudiannya
disepadukan dengan gambaran keseluruhan sekitaran geodinamik serantau, untuk
lebih memahami tentang genesis longgokan emas orogeni di rantau ini. Empat
mineral stibnit di dalam telerang kuarza memberikan julat nisbah 206Pb/204Pb daripada 18.5953 hingga 18.6318, nisbah 207Pb/204Pb antara 15.6564 dan 15.6910 dan nisbah 208Pb/204Pb sekitar 38.6378 hingga 38.7503. Sementara itu, nisbah untuk 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb dan 208Pb/204Pb bagi satu mineral stibnit daripada batuan perumah ialah 18.6215, 15.6242 dan 38.6132. Secara keseluruhannya, nilai data isotop Pb yang terkandung oleh mineral stibnit di dalam telerang kuarza adalah agak kecil dan menunjukkan persamaan dengan nilai isotop Pb yang terkandung oleh mineral stibnit di dalam batuan perumah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa sumber utama Pb dalam larutan hidroterma pemineralan di Buffalo Reef berasal daripada percampuran Pb kerak atas dengan Pb daripada sumber igneus/mantel yang terbentuk di sekitaran tektonik subduksi-perlanggaran yang membentuk jalur orogeni. Perbandingan data isotop Pb dalam longgokan emas Buffalo Reef dengan beberapa longgokan emas orogeni di Semenanjung Malaysia menunjukkan nilai isotop Pb dan sekitaran tektonik yang konsisten dan seragam serta semuanya berada dalam julat umur modal 0-200 juta tahun. Penemuan ini selaras dengan kejadian longgokan emas orogeni di Buffalo Reef dan longgokan emas orogeni lain di rantau ini yang terbentuk terutamanya di sepanjang sempadan kerak menumpu bagi jalur orogeni perlanggaran.

Abstract
The Buffalo Reef gold deposit in the Central Belt of
Peninsular Malaysia is an orogenic deposit type that shares many geologic
features with other orogenic gold deposits in this region. The host rocks in
the Buffalo Reef are dominated by sedimentary rocks, which are shale,
carbonaceous shale, siltstone, mudstone, low-grade metamorphic rock (slate),
and volcanic rocks. The Pb isotope compositions of sulfides in quartz veins and
host rocks from the Buffalo Reef deposit are reported in this study as an attempt
to constrain the source of the ore-forming fluids, modal age and tectonic
setting. These results are then integrated with an overview of the regional
geodynamic setting to advance understanding of the genesis of the orogenic gold
deposits in this region. Four stibnite minerals in quartz veins yield 206Pb/204Pb ratios ranging
from 18.5953 to 18.6318, 207Pb/204Pb ratios between
15.6564 and 15.6910, and 208Pb/204Pb ratios around
38.6378 to 38.7503. Meanwhile, the 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb,
and 208Pb/204Pb ratios for one stibnite mineral from the
host rock are 18.6215, 15.6242, and 38.6132, respectively. Overall, the
isotopic Pb data values contained by the stibnite mineral in quartz veins are
relatively small and exhibit consistency with the isotopic Pb values contained
by the stibnite mineral in the host rock. The results suggest that the primary source of Pb in the
hydrothermal mineralizing solution at Buffalo Reef originates from the mixing
of Pb from the upper crust with Pb from igneous/mantle sources formed in the
vicinity of subduction-collision tectonic settings that form orogenic belts. Comparison of Pb isotopic data in
the Buffalo Reef deposit with several orogenic gold deposits in Peninsular
Malaysia shows a consistent and uniform pattern of Pb isotopic values and
tectonic settings, all falling within the modal ages range of 0-200 million years. These findings are consistent with the
formation of the orogenic gold deposit at Buffalo Reef and other orogenic gold
deposits in the
region that form primarily along convergent plate
margins of the collisional orogenic belt.
