The growth and size of orogenic gold systems: probability and dynamical behaviour

Every nonlinear system grows by increments, and the final probability distributions for components of that emerge from an amalgamation these increments. The resulting distribution depends on constraints imposed each increment physical chemical processes produce system. Hence there is potential observed can reveal information processes. Complex systems grow competition between supply consumption energy mass have growth laws are cumulative their component parts reflect such competition. We show type characteristic endowment orogenic gold deposits with sequence: Weibull → Fréchet gamma log normal representative increasing endowment. Further, differential entropy indicative quality deposit, low-quality represented high high-quality low or negative entropy. gives indication operated to deposit. These conclusions hold mineralisation as well associated alteration assemblages. suggest assemblage a good deposit single drill hole.
