A Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) was assembled for gold production extending from the formation of gold-ore deposits through the production of semi-refined gold-silver bullion. Inputs traditionally considered in life cycle assessment (LCA) such as energy, materials, and capital were counted along with geologic inputs and labor. Emergy, rather than traditional LCA methods, was used to make inventory...

Abstract As a result of the analysis data available and collected in recent years, contrast to well-established ideas about polygenic poly-stage nature mineralization, it is indicated that gold mineralization Central Kyzyl Kum formed as formation single ore-magmatic system, which develops same type regardless composition age host rocks; during deposits, most important thing presence process pro...

The Elatsite–Chelopech ore field in the northern part of Panagyurishte district Central Bulgaria comprises numerous spatially associated porphyry copper and epithermal gold deposits prospects. In addition to mineralization alteration features, trace elements, lead sulfur isotope signatures sulfide minerals from copper, base metal gold-base deposits/prospects have been studied. LA-ICP-MS analyse...

High temperature geothermal systems are the modern analogue of epithermal precious metal ore deposits. In these systems, gold and silver are transported primarily as bisulfide complexes, with the precious metals being deposited in response to boiling and mixing of the deep geothermal fluid. In order for the geothermal system to produce an economic precious metal deposit within the typical lifet...

Despite the existence of a well-known set forecast and search criteria, only three gold silver epithermal deposits were discovered on territory Amguem-Kanchalan metallogenic zone, which has significant resource potential. The base enterprises developing them is extremely limited. aim study to clarify regional local conditions for localization gold-silver mineralization, forecasting searching pr...

Sulfide ores play an extremely important role in the development of mineral resource base Russia, as a source rare, non-ferrous, and precious metals. However, sulfide ore deposits is associated with risk dust explosions, oxidative processes that lead to spontaneous combustion ores. The article substantiates urgency solving problem reducing risks taking into account changes balance gold-sulfide ...

The area under investigation is the Bau gold mining district in the State of Sarawak, East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It has tropical climate with limited bedrock exposures and the other constraints imposed in the environment. Bau is a gold field with Carlin style gold deposits. Geological analyses coupled with remote sensing data were used to detect structure elements and hydrothermall...
