The legendary wealth in gold of ancient Egypt seems to correspond with an unexpected high number of gold production sites in the Eastern Desert of Egypt and Nubia. This contribution introduces briefly the general geology of these vast regions and discusses the geology of the different varieties of the primary gold occurrences (always related to auriferous quartz mineralization in veins or shear...

the takmeh-dash region comprises a wide variety of igneous bodies that have been developed from early to late neogen. the granitic rocks and related aplite apophyses have been developed along fault-dominated structures which defines a well pronounced mineralized zone. according to isotopic and fluid inclusion studies, most of the quartz-pyrite units are solution-related with some traces of cu, ...

The Jagpura Au-Cu deposit is situated within the Aravalli craton in northwestern part of India. In present work, petrography, mineral chemistry, fluid inclusion and sulfur isotopic compositions were used to study deposit. ore association arsenopyrite, loellingite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite pyrite, along with native gold, magnetite apatite. gold fineness ranges from 914–937‰ (avg. 927‰). presence...

The Lut Block is a potential porphyry-style mineralized region in Iran including the well-explored Shadan porphyry gold-copper deposit, which has an extensive zone of gold- and copper-bearing stockwork-like sheeted veins. structural setting this deposit key to understanding genesis mineralization. Our field studies show that mineralization occurs as steeply dipping ore bodies along NW–SE transp...

In gold-endowed greenstone belts, ore bodies generally correspond to orogenic gold systems (OGS) formed during the main deformation stage that led craton stabilization (syntectonic period). Most OGS deposits postdate and locally overprint magmatic-hydrothermal systems, such as Au-Cu porphyry mostly magmatic (synvolcanic period) polymetallic intrusion-related (IRGS) of syntectonic period. Porphy...

the area is located 20 km northwest of kashmar and about 4 km of kalateh taimour in khorasan razavi province. the study area is part of tertiary volcanic-plutonic belt north of daruneh fault and its situation in tectonic inliers between two important active faults, doruneh and taknar. volcanic rocks are mainly intermediate to acid pyroclastic type. they formed during early tertiary. the volcani...

The economic value of a mineral resource is highly dependent on the accuracy grade estimations. Accurate predictions grades can help businesses decide whether to invest in mining project and optimize operations maximize resource. Conventional methods predicting gold resources are both costly time-consuming. However, advances machine learning processing power making it possible for estimation be...
