CASE REPORT A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis of 20 years onset, on treatment with monthly intramuscular gold salts (GS) for the last 7 years. She complained of suffering from halo vision, and the examination showed a visual acuity of 0.6 in both eyes (BE). The slit lamp showed some deposits in the stroma with scattered golden granulated, without any further inflammatory reaction. ...

Modern methods of nanomineralogy (electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis) were used to study the ores one largest industrial facilities Uzbekistan - Zarmitan gold zone, which includes Zarmitan, Urtalik, Guzhumsay deposits, are located in Koshrabadgranosyenite massif. The development / Au-W Au-Bi-Te Au-As Au-Ag-Te Au-Ag-Se Au-Sb-Ag Au-Hg types ores. Productive mineral-geochemical gold...

The atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) reaction of VCl4 and VOCl3 with cyclohexylphosphine at substrate temperatures of 600 C deposits thin films of amorphous vanadium phosphide. The films are black/gold, hard, chemically resistant and conductive. The APCVD reaction of MCl5 (where M = Nb or Ta) with cyclohexylphosphine at 500 C – 600 C deposits films of crystalline -MP ...

The map area includes the Big Bald Mountain Quadrangle and the western part of Tognini Spring Quadrangle. It is located south of Overland Pass in the southern Ruby Mountains and the southern Maverick Springs Range, about 60 miles (100 km) south-southeast of Elko, Nevada, and about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Ely, Nevada (figs. 1A, B). The map area, herein referred to as the Bald Mountain area...

Geographic information system (GIS) technology has been applied to analyze the offshore marine placer gold deposits at Nome, Alaska. Two geodatabases, namely Integrated Geodatabase (IG) and Regularized 2.5D Geodatabase (R2.5DG), were created to store and integrate digital data sets in heterogeneous formats. The IG served as a data warehouse and used to manage various geological data, such as bo...

Orogenic gold deposits have provided most of to humanity. These were formed by fluids carrying dissolved at temperatures 200–500 °C and crustal depths 4–12 km. The model involves mobilization as HS? complexes in aqueous solution buffered CO2, with precipitation following changes pH, redox activity (fO2), or H2S activity. In this contribution, the involvement carbonaceous organic matter is addre...

Quantitative analysis of geoscientific data to determine the areas most likely to contain mineral deposits is becoming increasingly common in the mining industry. The approach is based on characterising areas known to contain deposits and seeking similar areas elsewhere. This paper presents an automatic image processing technique for the prospectivity analysis of Archaean lode gold deposits, wh...

Electrodeposition of gold into porous silicon was investigated. In the present study, porous silicon with ~100 nm in pore diameter, so-called medium-sized pores, was used as template electrode for gold electrodeposition. The growth behavior of gold deposits was studied by scanning electron microscope observation of the gold deposited porous silicon. Gold nanorod arrays with different rod length...
