Introduction: The Saibagou gold deposit, located in the eastern part of tectonic belt northern Qaidam Basin western China, has its ore bodies strictly controlled by regional fault system. Despite this understanding, there remain controversies surrounding deposit’s metallogenic epochs, sources ore-forming materials, and properties fluids. To address these controversy, process deposit can be furt...

The Muteh gold deposit (NE of Golpaygan) in the central part of intrusive-metamorphic belt of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone comprises NW-SE trending gold-quartz vein occurred in metamorphic complex. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that formed during regional deformation across the mylonitic zones in metamorphic rocks of predominantly meta-volcanic, gneiss and schist. The sulfidation ...

The central Keraf suture recorded complex lithospheric-scale deformation associated with the formation of Neoproterozoic Arabian-Nubian shield and hosts WG03, Central Zone UTM gold deposits, Gabgaba district, NE Sudan. This study aims at (i) unravelling tectonic history by (ii) interpreting spatial genetic relationships between structural setting mineralization. To this end, we coupled field pe...

As an important tectonic unit of Eastern Tethyan domain, Sanjiang orogenic belt started from the expansion, subduction, subtraction and closure Paleozoic Paleo-Tethys Ocean, went through opening Neo-Tethys Ocean subduction collision process Indian continent ended in Himalayan comprehensive intracontinental convergence uplift orogeny, forming a giant composite composed several island arc belts s...

two types of mineralization including porphyry copper and epithermal gold mineralization have occurred in relation with an intermediate volcano-plutonic complex in masjeddaghi area. different alterations including silica, advanced argillic, intermediate argillic and propylitic have been distinguished in relation with epithermal mineralization, which have a zonal pattern. elemental mass gains an...

This paper proposes a method to find gold deposits in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Different methods including various classification methods, principle component transform (PCT), band ratios, and a constrained energy minimization technique are evaluated for their performance for hydrothermal alteration zone mapping. First, these techniques are carried out to highlight known gold deposits over ...
