China produces about 450 t Au per year and has government stated in-ground reserves of approximately 12,000 t Au. Orogenic gold, or gold deposits in metamorphic rocks, and associated placer deposits compose about 65 to 75% of this endowment, with lodes existing as structurally hosted vein and/or disseminated orebodies.

The placer deposits refer to concentrations of minerals that are denser (>3.0 g/cm 3) and more resistant to chemical and physical destruction than sediments normally transported and deposited.These dense and resistant minerals are called "heavy minerals" which, apart from gold (the subject matter of this chapter), also include ilmenite, rutile, …

This arsenic-driven gold pump explains how these iron sulfides can massively capture and then release gold, so controlling ore deposit formation and distribution. In practical terms, it means that it will make it easier to find new sources of gold and other precious metals, which bind to arsenic-containing iron sulfides.

Several gold deposits in the eastern region of Cuba are genetically related to the island arc- and the ophiolitic complex formation. These have been studied and exploited since the time of the Spanish colonization in the mid-sixteenth century. These deposits belong to the Aguas Claras-Guajabales mineral field in the Holguín Province …

The mineral assemblages and ore types in the Shangzhuang deposit lead us to find two distinct features in this deposit which are different from those in the other Jiaojia-type deposits at Jiaodong. ... The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of ore-forming fluids from Shangzhuang and other early Cretaceous gold deposits in the …

In recent years, several gold deposit clusters have been discovered in the eastern North China Craton (NCC) (Mingguo Zhai et al., 2002).One of these clusters, the Liaodong gold province in the eastern NCC, is believed to be genetically related to the destruction of the NCC (Weidong, 2015, Rixiang et al., 2015).Since the 1950s, several …

The published mean δ34S values of ore-related pyrites from orogenic gold deposits of the Eastern Goldfields Province, Yilgarn Craton lie between −4‰ and +4‰. As for orogenic gold deposits worldwide, most deposits have positive means and a restricted range of δ34S values, but some have negative means and wider ranges of δ34S values. …

It is a puzzle to determine metallogenetic ages in the world. This article uses zircon fission track (FT) dating to probe the mineralizing epochs of Wulonggou () gold ore deposits in eastern Kunlun () Mountains. Total of six zircon FT ages have been obtained and can be divided into groups of 235–216 and 197–181 Ma, as well as …

Gold mineralization in the El-Barramiya region of the Eastern Desert, Egypt, is connected to the post-accretionary stage throughout the Central Eastern Desert. It is represented by quartz, quartz-carbonate veins and disseminations in listvenite rocks. The thrust contact between rock units in El-Barramiya area played an imperative part in gold …

In British Columbia, the gold veins occur in replacement deposits at or near contacts of metamorphic with dioritic igneous rocks, the gangue being garnet, epidote, calcite, etc., and the "minerals" mispickel, …

Gold Maps Online™ contains over 438,870 active gold claims and 3,094,906 abandoned gold claims. All are located on public lands spread across twelve western states. Our abandoned gold claim maps reveal activity from 1976 to present.

Gold panning along the 119-mile American River east of Sacramento is nothing new—it's where the California Gold Rush started.

Understanding Gold Deposits: Gold is typically found in two types of deposits: Placer Deposits: Found in riverbeds where erosion has concentrated the gold. ... As the world hurtles into 2023-2024, the East Coast of the United States has become an unexpected hotspot for prospectors, both seasoned and amateur. From the rolling Appalachian ...

Many types of deposits have been discovered in East Junggar, e.g., orogenic gold deposits (Goldfarb et al., 2019), epithermal gold deposits (Chen et al., 2012b), IOCG Fe-Cu-Au deposits (Liang et ...

The genesis of giant gold provinces is an international scientific frontier, in which the source of a huge amount of gold and the drive for mineralization are key challenges. The mineralization intensity of the Jiaodong gold province in eastern China is a rare occasion in the world, because it owns gold reserves of ∼5500 tons within an area …

There is an endless discussion between scientists about how these gold deposits form and what to call them. Some name them according to the age of the host rocks, e.g. Archean gold deposits, others for the rock type, e.g. greenstone-hosted gold deposits. The most widely accepted term is Archean orogenic gold deposits. Orogenic …
