There are six distinct classes of gold deposits each represented by metallogenic provinces having 100 s to >1000 tonne gold production The deposit classes are 1 orogenic gold; 2 Carlin and Carlin like gold deposits; 3 epithermal gold silver deposits; 4 copper gold porphyry deposits; 5 iron oxide copper gold deposits; and 6 gold rich volcanic hosted massive sulfide

The gold ore bodies are mainly hosted in shear structures as auriferous quartz veins and in the upper Devonian Luohansi Formation as disseminated ores The genesis and geodynamic setting of both granitoids and gold mineralization has been vigorously debated among scholars worldwide Zhang et al 1984 Zhang et al 2001a Mao et al 2002
The Phu Kham copper gold deposit is in the Lao People s Democratic Republic The name translates literally as "Mountain of Gold The deposit includes distal sulphicle skarn proximal silicate
Our results show the presence of an early native gold dominated and a late gold silver telluride dominated mineralization stage The early stage gold mineralization was genetically linked to the Middle Late Permian aplite LA ICP MS zircon U Pb age ± Ma whose ages are similar to the gold ore veins sericite Ar Ar age
The fact that the number of gold grains in a set of gold mass fractions in an ore follow a Poisson distribution can be used to calculate the so called characteristic function for the sampling distribution of the ore and this function can be inverted to provide the probability density function This capability is a new tool in sampling theory
Although giant and supergiant gold ore deposits are extrememly rare they are one of the most profitable targets in global gold exploration and research Kerrich et al 2000 Cooke et al 2005 Leahy et al 2005 Richards 2013 Sanislav et al 2015 Groves et al 2016 Fougerouse et al 2017 Goldfarb et al 2017 Therefore understanding how they are
Ore minerals are naturally occurring minerals that contain valuable elements or minerals in sufficient quantities to be economically mined and processed for their desired metal or mineral content These minerals are typically extracted from the Earth s crust and processed to obtain the valuable elements or minerals for various industrial manufacturing and commercial

Lode gold deposits are among the most economically important types of gold deposits in the world Globally they formed mainly in three time intervals to Ga to Ga and 700 Ma to the present Sources of ore forming fluids and other components are of critical importance in a better understanding of the genesis and the geodynamic controls of these
Three major ore zones denoted I II and III have been identified and the ore zone I is the largest Gold mineralization in the ore zone I is hosted in altered spilite in the Dsh 1c trending NW for more than 2 km with a greater vertical extension than lateral extension and with north dipping angles of 55 65° The major ore minerals are
The Beiya gold polymetallic deposit is one of the largest gold deposits in China and is considered to be a typical porphyry skarn system located in the middle of the Jinshajiang Ailaoshan alkaline porphyry metallogenic belt Massive magnetite is widespread in the Beiya ore district but its genesis is still the subject of debate
