A review of gold and bearing base metals deposits in Chile, indicate the existence at least six different type ore deposits, most largely formed during Cenozoic with predominance Miocene. Mesozoic are common but less relevant regarding their size content. These hydrothermal genetically associated subduction related Andean arc magmatism. Due to its relationship episodic magmatism migrating eastw...

Microbiological reductive sulfidation (RS) has rarely been documented, although it represents an efficient strategy for thiol formation. In this work, we reported on the sulfate-respiring bacterium Desulfovibrio sp.86 that previously demonstrated RS activity toward pesticide chlordecone. The purpose of study was to assess its substrate versatility using a set 28 carbonyls, compare with chemical...

Abstract The Mesoproterozoic Aggeneys-Gamsberg ore district, South Africa, is one of the world´s largest sulfidic base metal concentrations and well-known as a prime example Broken Hill-type deposits, traditionally interpreted metamorphosed SEDEX deposits. Within this Gamsberg deposit stands out for its huge size strongly Zn-dominated ( >14 Mt contained Zn). New electron microprobe analyses ...
