Formation of orogenic gold deposits by progressive movement of a fault-fracture mesh through the upper crustal brittle-ductile transition zone. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 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.

Geosciences, 2021 Orogenic gold deposits have provided most of gold to humanity. These deposits were formed by fluids carrying dissolved gold at temperatures of 200–500 °C and at crustal depths of 4–12 km.

Lithosphere architecture characterized by crust-mantle decoupling controls the formation of orogenic gold deposits. [PDF]
Natl Sci Rev, 2023 This study, via combined analysis of geophysical and geochemical data, reveals a lithospheric architecture characterized by crust–mantle decoupling and vertical heat-flow conduits that control orogenic gold mineralization in the Ailaoshan gold belt on ...

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 for the formation of orogenic gold deposits
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. The key parameters accounting for their formation remain under discussion.

A scale-integrated exploration model for orogenic gold deposits based on a mineral system approach
Geoscience Frontiers, 2020 Concept-based orogenic gold exploration requires a scale-integrated approach using a robust mineral system model. Most genetic hypotheses for orogenic gold deposits that involve near-surface or magmatic-hydrothermal fluids are now negated in terms of a ...
