Abstract/NotesTwangiza mine is a gold deposit situated in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The rock
types at the Twangiza Mine consist of black shale, including carbonaceous mudstone and thin
intercalated layers of siltstone, and feldspar-rich granitoid intrusive sills, referred to as albitite,
folded into a major antiformal structure. The gold mineralization at the mine is commonly found
associated with sulphides. The sulphide textures and compositions of mineralized and
unmineralized samples of black shales, albitite sills and hydrothermal veins in the mine are
considered for the understanding of the spatial association of gold with sulphides and gold
mineralization history of the mine.
