1. Introduction. The origin of Au –U deposits in the Archaean Witwatersrand Basin of South Africa is the subject of longstanding discussion.Because of the close spatial association of pyrite with Au and U in the mineralised conglomerates, the origin of pyrite is a central aspect in all genetic hypotheses of Witwatersrand mineralisation, in both primary …
