Lower crustal resistivity signature of an orogenic gold system [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Orogenic gold deposits provide a significant source of the world’s gold and form along faults over a wide range of crustal depths spanning sub-greenschist to granulite grade faces, but the source depths of the gold remains poorly understood.

Formation of orogenic gold deposits by progressive movement of a fault-fracture mesh through the upper crustal brittle-ductile transition zone [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Orogenic gold deposits are comprised of complex quartz vein arrays that form as a result of fluid flow along transcrustal fault zones in active orogenic belts.

Late-orogenic gold deposits of Egypt
Горные науки и технологии, 2018 Egypt belongs to states developing its mineral resource base. Gold-bearing territory of Egypt is located within the Nubian-Arabian shield in the Neoproterozoic collision zone of transverse thrusts.

Parameters for the formation of orogenic gold deposits [PDF]
Applied Earth Science: Transactions of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2019 Orogenic gold deposits are the main source of gold for humanity. These deposits formed from the Archaean to Phanerozoic at crustal depths of more than 4 km.

Orogenic gold: is a genetic association with magmatism realistic?
Mineralium Deposita, 2022 AbstractMany workers accept a metamorphic model for orogenic gold ore formation, where a gold-bearing aqueous-carbonic fluid is an inherent product of devolatilization across the greenschist-amphibolite boundary with the majority of deposits formed within the seismogenic zone at depths of 6–12 km.

Lithospheric conductors reveal source regions of convergent margin mineral systems [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The clean energy transition will require a vast increase in metal supply, yet new mineral deposit discoveries are declining, due in part to challenges associated with exploring under sedimentary and volcanic cover.

Case Histories of Orogenic Gold Deposits
Minerals (Basel, Switzerland), 2023 This review compares genetic parameters of 12 orogenic gold deposits. The set of examples is considered to represent largely the variability of orogenic gold deposit (OGD) characteristics. The data are presented in tables and include following definitive parameters: regional geologic settings, nature of hosts rocks and mineralization, ore controlling ...

Mesozoic orogenic gold deposits in Mexico
Ore Geology Reviews, 2017 Abstract Although orogenic gold deposits in Mexico were mostly formed during the Cenozoic, they started forming during the Late Cretaceous, or perhaps even earlier. Mylonitic zones in the Oaxacan metamorphic complex span either Permo-Triassic or Triassic-Jurassic ages, but none of these have been formally associated with the existing orogenic gold ...

Orogenic gold and geologic time: a global synthesis
Ore Geology Reviews, 2001 AbstractOrogenic gold deposits have formed over more than 3 billion years of Earth’s history, episodically during the MiddleArchean to younger Precambrian, and continuously throughout the Phanerozoic. This class of gold deposit is characteristi-cally associated with deformed and metamorphosed mid-crustal blocks, particularly in spatial association with

Antimony in rutile as a pathfinder for orogenic gold deposits
Ore Geology Reviews, 2019 Abstract In our study we explore the applicability of rutile as a pathfinder for orogenic gold deposits, which are an important source of this metal worldwide. We analysed rutile associated with orogenic Au deposits from three different Precambrian terranes, the Capricorn Orogen, the Barberton Greenstone Belt and the Ashanti Belt, all of which formed
