Orogenic gold deposits: part of a global dynamic conjunction between subduction and gold [PDF]
Orogenic gold deposits represent a coherent deposit class that were deposited from low-salinity CO2-rich fluids over a range of crustal depths from 3 to 20 km.

Critical metals for high-technology applications: mineral exploration potential in the north of Ireland [PDF]
There is global concern about the availability of ‘critical’ metals: those of growing economic importance but vulnerable to supply shortage. Production from domestic resources could contribute to security of supply. However, we have little information on

A four stage evolution of the White Channel gravel: Implications for stratigraphy and palaeoclimates [PDF]
Although the White Channel gravel (WCG) of the Klondike district, Yukon, contains gold placers which have been exploited for over a century, few sedimentological studies have been undertaken.

Modeling singular mineralization processes due to fluid pressure fluctuations [PDF]
Mineralization in the Earth's crust can be regarded as a singular process resulting in large amounts of mass accumulation and element enrichment over short time or space scales. The elemental concentrations modeled by fractals and multifractals show self-

General geology, alteration, and iron deposits in the Palaeoproterozoic Misi region, northern Finland [PDF]
The Paleoproterozoic Misi region forms the northeastern part of the Peräpohja Schist Belt in northern Finland. The area comprises mafic volcanic and sedimentary rocks, differentiated gabbros, and late-orogenic granitoids.

Palaeozoic oolitic ironstone of the French Armorican Massif: a chemical and structural trap for orogenic base metal-As-Sb-Au mineralization during Hercynian strike-slip deformation. [PDF]
In the Saint-Aubin-des-Châteaux quarry (Armorican Hercynian belt, western France), an epigenetic hydrothermal alteration affects an oolitic ironstone layer intercalated within the Lower Ordovician Grès armoricain Formation.
