Orogenic gold deposits: A proposed classification in the context of their crustal distribution and relationship to other gold deposit types
The so-called ‘mesothermal’ gold deposits are associated with regionally metamorphosed terranes of all ages. Ores were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens. In both types of orogen, hydrated marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks have been added to continental margins during tens to some 100 milli...
متن کاملNatural gold particles in Eucalyptus leaves and their relevance to exploration for buried gold deposits
Eucalyptus trees may translocate Au from mineral deposits and support the use of vegetation (biogeochemical) sampling in mineral exploration, particularly where thick sediments dominate. However, biogeochemistry has not been routinely adopted partly because biotic mechanisms of Au migration are poorly understood. For example, although Au has been previously measured in plant samples, there has ...
متن کاملBasaltic Pyroclastic Deposits on Earth and Mars: Constraints for Robotic Exploration of Martian Pyroclastic Deposits
Introduction: Basaltic pyroclastic rocks are uncommon on Earth because most mafic magmas are too volatile-poor to drive explosive eruptions [3-4]. However, basaltic pyroclastic deposits maybe much more common on Mars than on Earth [4-7] because Mars’ lower gravity and thinner atmosphere permit explosive eruptions from magmas with lower volatile contents. Though rare, basaltic pyroclastic rock o...
متن کاملAssessment of structural sensitivity of Kerman City deposits
This research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of Kerman City area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. In this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, Schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. The base of these criteria is to compare ...
متن کاملAdvances in Geological Models and Exploration Methods for Copper ± Gold Porphyry Deposits
This paper focuses on the relationships between the geological model and exploration techniques for porphyry Cu ± Au deposits, with reference to the discovery record and exploration practices over the past fifteen years. The porphyry model is built on a long record of study dating back to the 1960s which has been gradually refined to encompass differences and complexities in mineralization and ...
