A: Looking for gold deposits is a humbling experience for PhD geologists. That's because there are uneducated people wearing little more than jeans, loin-clothes, or perhaps nylon shorts and flip-flops, who have already found them. That's certainly the case historically in California, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and Africa where I have worked.
1. Introduction. Gold mineralisation hosted by low grade metamorphic facies, often in proximity to syn- to post-orogenic intrusives, and located within collisional orogenic belts, is commonly referred to as 'orogenic' (e.g. Groves et al., 2003, Goldfarb et al., 2005).Such deposits are globally important mineral resources, however their …

Gold Deposits in Small Concentrations. Gold is one of the most valuable and at the same time rarest metals on earth. It is estimated that up to now only 150,000 tonnes have been extracted worldwide. Indeed gold is present everywhere in the 16 kilometre thick Earth's crust but, is only found in small quantities of ca. 5 grams per tonne.

Similar investigations have led to the discovery of a Carlin-type gold deposit in Jerritt Canyon, Nevada. Gold dredge: A floating gold dredge operating near Fairplay, Colorado in 1950. Machines like this could dredge up hundreds of tons of sediment per day and process it to remove the gold.
Gold Deposit Types. Gold occurs in five main geological types of deposits: 1) South African paleoplacer (47%); 2) Porphyry (20%); 3) Greenstone (13%); 4) Epithermal; and, 5) Sediment-hosted (9%), in order of abundance of world gold. South African paleoplacer deposits are unique in the world and as a result are not considered …
Several small- to medium-sized gold–polymetallic ore deposits, along with numerous clustered occurrences, have been found in the area in recent years. However, despite the fact that the Xiaoshan District has traditionally been deemed as an excellent geological endowment area with enormous potential for large-sized deposits, no …
In Australia, Canada, Venezuela and California there is a much higher incidence of gold deposits in ancient volcanic rocks punched through by newer magma bodies. The upwelling, mineral-laden hot …
When it comes to equipment, gold prospecting requires a specific set of tools. A metal detector is just one of many tools used in the search for gold. Other essential equipment includes a good gold pan, a …
The hyperspectral and magnetic data collected by the drones can be used alongside high-resolution true-colour cameras or laser-scanning sensors to place mineral deposits into a 3D geographical ...
The quartz-alunite gold deposits are associated with extensive alteration zones. Several important alteration minerals display distinct spectral reflectance features in the 0.4-2.5 μm wavelength ...
The Right Equipment for Gold Prospecting. When it comes to equipment, gold prospecting requires a specific set of tools. A metal detector is just one of many tools used in the search for gold. Other essential equipment includes a good gold pan, a set of tweezers, a "snuffer" bottle, storage vials, picks, and scrapers 2.
The Garden Well Au deposit is located approximately 350 km NNE of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia (Fig. 3).The area has a semi-arid climate, generally with long hot dry summers with a mean average maximum January temperature of 35.8 °C, dropping to an average minimum July temperature of 5.2 °C (Laverton weather station …
The Dashui gold deposit is a structurally controlled, Carlin-type gold deposit hosted by recrystallised limestone in the West Qinling Orogen of Central China. The major, structurally late east-trending Dashui Fault forms the hanging wall to the gold mineralisation at the Dashui mine and defines the contact between Middle Triassic …
Carlin-type gold deposits are one of the most important gold mineralization styles in the world. Despite their economic importance and the large volume of work that has been published, there remain crucial questions regarding their metallogenesis. Much of this uncertainty is due to the cryptic nature of the gold occurrence, with gold occurring as …
Several gold deposits are found in the Central Magmatic-Volcanic Belt (CMVB) of Myanmar, which forms a nearly N–S-trending, 1500-km-long arc extending from the Andaman Sea to northern Myanmar.
The Carlin-type gold deposits in Nevada make up one of the largest gold districts in the world (Cline et al., 2005).These deposits contain an endowment of ~255 Moz (7,931 tonnes) of gold, of which 89% occurs in four main clusters of deposits, including the Carlin trend, Getchell, Cortez, and Jerritt Canyon (Muntean, 2018).The …
