Résumé
Antimony-rich gold deposits represent a subclass of orogenic hydrothermal systems. The study of the Lapa gold deposit in the Abitibi greenstone belt shows that antimony occurs during two different stages: (1) as early prograde Sb–Ni disseminated sulphides in talc schists, associated with CO2-bearing fluids, and (2) as a late native antimony association, associated with methane-bearing fluids indicating a reducing environment. Methane could be related to the serpentinization of the ultramafic rocks of the Pich�e Group hosting the Lapa deposit. Several deposits display the same methane antimony association along fault zones.
