With the advancement of use geophysical methods in mining exploration, possibility restudying known mineral deposits that could have greater potential than previously estimated is opening up, as case Maricunga Belt (MB), which a metallogenic belt located east Copiapó, Chile, with length 200 km and oriented NNE-SSW direction. This hosts significant gold classified porphyry (-copper), epithermal ...

Mita is a moderate temperature geothermal system that was discovered in 1997 during gold exploration in south-eastern Guatemala. This system is associated with bimodal basaltrhyolite volcanism, and occurs alongside (and overlapping with) the Cerro Blanco 2 million ounce epithermal gold deposit. Four 1000-1500m deep slim holes were drilled in 2008-09 to confirm the nature of the deep reservoir. ...

While gold partitioning into hydrothermal fluids responsible for the formation of porphyry and epithermal deposits is currently well understood, its behavior during differentiation metal-rich silicate melts still subject an intense scientific debate. Typically, scavenged sulfides crustal fractionation sulfur-rich mafic to intermediate magmas development native forms alloys this important precio...
