The Early Proterozoic Star Lake pluton in northern
Saskatchewan, Canada, hosts several auriferous quartz veins
that were deposited along an array of subparallel
northeasterly-striking shear zones. Gold mineralization was
fracture-controlled, and the main stage of deposition occurred
during late fracturing episodes within the shear zones. The
majority of the fluid inclusions trapped within the vein-quartz
are of secondary origin, and are compositionally
similar to primary inclusions. The aqueous and CO2-bearing
fluids (
