Placer gold deposits are abundant in Mongolia and form through endogenic and exogenic processes. Deposits are classified into four major genetic types: (1) eluvial-weathering zone, (2) deluvial, (3) proluvial, and (4) alluvial. The most economic deposits are often sourced from upper Cretaceous rocks and formed in late Cenozoic alluvial fans (Liskun and

Placer deposits provided early man with the first samples of gold and thereafter have accounted for a large production of the metal. If we include the Witwatersrand and other quartz-pebble conglomerates as fossil placers or modified placers, the placer type of auriferous deposit has provided more than two thirds of the world’s store of gold, about 80 ×

Economic Geology, 2003
Recent fluvial sediments of the Rio Neuquen, Argentina, contain variable amounts of placer gold. In addition to rounded, detrital placer gold, the sediments also contain pristine crystalline gold (type 1 gold), which occurs as overgrowths on detrital placer gold cores. Type 1 gold is locally rimmed by gold with a wormlike or crystalline texture (type 2

Paradoxes of the placer gold economy
POWER AND ADMINISTRATION IN THE EAST OF RUSSIA, 2022The article is devoted to the study of influence of placer gold mining on the socio-economic processes in in the eastern areas of Russia on the example of the Trans-Baikal territory. Reconciliation of economic and environmental interests in the extraction of placer gold remains one of the most relevant in the field of natural resource management.

A Placer-Gold Evaluation Exercise
Journal of Geological Education, 1984An interesting application of applied geology is the location and evaluation of mineral deposits. This particular lab exercise allows the students to individually simulate the process of locating a placer gold paystreak on their own mining claim. Incorporated within the exercise is the arithmetic of computing the total value of the gold on the claim ...

In this chapter, ancient placers refer to deposits of Archaean and early Proterozoic age. Because each deposit may cover hundreds of square kilometres, they present economically attractive exploration targets. Individual ancient placer deposits like the Steyn/Basal placer in the Welkom goldfield of South Africa have produced in excess of 4500 t (metric
