Abstract A magnetotelluric (MT) study across the Red Lake greenstone belt of western Superior craton, Canada, images a 50-km-long north-dipping conductor (<20 Ω·m) at 20–25 km depth and subvertical conductors spatially correlated with crustal-scale shear zones large orogenic gold deposits. The are interpreted to be conductivity signature deep crustal source auriferous fluids pathways sys...

The Hirvilavanmaa (Au-only) and Naakenavaara (Cu-Co-Au-Ni) deposits, located only 5 km apart in the Paleoproterozoic Central Lapland belt (CLB) northern Finland, represent two types of orogenic gold mineralization that dominate CLB: (1) Au-only (2) Au with atypical metal association, respectively. In this study, we compare these deposits order to pinpoint origin differences their associations. ...

The Heihaibei gold deposit is located in the Eastern Kunlun Orogen Northwest China. mineralization here occurs predominantly quartz veins within faulted granite zones. sulfide mineral assemblage dominated by pyrite and arsenopyrite, with minor chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, micro-native gold. Weak alterations granites include silicification sericitization, chloritization carbon...

the method of weights of evidence is one of the most important data driven methods for mineral potential mapping in gis. in this method, considering the characteristics of known mineralized locations, we can prospect new mineralized areas. in this research work, the method of weights of evidence has been used for hydrothermal gold potential mapping in torbat-e-heydarieh area, east of iran. as a...

the gandy gold-base metal deposit is located in tertiary torud-chahshirin volcano-plutonic range, north of central iran. various styles of gold mineralization occur throughout the range. mineralization at gandy occurs in close spatial relation with rhyolitic domes in a caldera setting in a series of narrow brecciated veins. two mineralogically and spatially different argillic alterations have a...

Abstract Mineral inclusions within native gold are features of lode occurrences that preserved in detrital particles. Inclusion assemblages populations particles placers from specific localities revealed through inspection polished sections, and assimilation robust data sets permits reconstruction the source mineralogy. differ considerably according to deposit type, various approaches have been...

Orogenic gold deposits are currently the world’s major source of Au, but uncertainty exists in timing mineralization relative to ages host rocks, metamorphism, and magmatism. Consequently, origin detailed evolution ore-forming fluids have long been elusive. Apatite occurs widespread various types mineral can provide valuable information on ore genesis. Here, we present textural, high-precision ...
