Archaean Gold Mineralization in an Extensional Setting: The Structural History of the Kukuluma and Matandani Deposits, Geita Greenstone Belt, Tanzania [PDF]
Three major gold deposits, Matandani, Kukuluma, and Area 3, host several million ouncez (Moz) of gold, along a ~5 km long, WNW trend in the E part of the Geita Greenstone Belt, NW Tanzania.

A Database of Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in East Asia
Spatial distribution of low‐temperature thermochronology samples in East Asia. ABSTRACT The low closure temperature of the dating system in low‐temperature thermochronology allows shallow crustal movements to be recorded. In recent decades, this approach has been used extensively in studies of orogenic belt exhumation, sedimentary basin evolution, and ...

Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.

Hydrogeochemical changes before and during the 2016 Amatrice-Norcia seismic sequence (central Italy) [PDF]
Seismic precursors are an as yet unattained frontier in earthquake studies. With the aim of making a step towards this frontier, we present a hydrogeochemical dataset associated with the 2016 Amatrice- Norcia seismic sequence (central Apennines, Italy),

Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Gold Fineness in the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt of South China: Correlations with Geological Characteristics and Fluid Conditions [PDF]
A large number of Au deposits in the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt (JOB) are characterized by producing the bonanza-style gold with extremely high gold fineness (GF) in orogenic Au deposits and intrusion-related Au deposits.

Charnockites with 2691–2607 Ma magmatic ages from the NMZ show arc‐magmatic geochemical signatures. They correspond to the lower‐crustal equivalent of the Chilimanzi Suite Granite in the Zimbabwe Craton. Lu‐Hf isotopic data of magmatic zircons show negative εHf(t) values (−11.18 to −2.20) with TDMC ages of 3699–3158 Ma, suggesting their protolith ...

The Pool Burn basin is a tectonic depression that became almost isolated from the regional drainage system by river reorientation during Pleistocene uplift of surrounding ridges. Consequently, detrital gold in the basin was largely locally derived, from supergene zones on orogenic deposits and recycled from paleoplacers in erosional remnants of Miocene
