A new type of gold occurrence recently discovered in the Carlin trend, north-central Nevada, is clearly distinct from classic Carlin-type gold ore. These occurrences are interpreted to be of sedimentary exhalative (sedex) origin because they are stratiform and predate compaction and lithification of their unaltered Devonian host rocks.
The Xiaoqinling gold province, located in the Neoarchean−Paleoproterozoic uplifted footwalls of the Xiaoqinling metamorphic core complex (XMCC), is one of China's largest gold producers; however, achieving a consensus …

By commodity and ore-type target, the pattern of discovery is not continuous. Typically, it is episodic as a series of waves with minor resurgence. The waves reflect the order of the so-called discovery booms, led by uranium, then …
Gold- and iron sulfide-bearing deposits of the southeastern United States have distinctive mineralogical and geochemical features that provide a basis for constructing models of ore genesis for exploration and assessment of gold resources. The largest (historic) deposits, in approximate million ounces of gold (Moz Au), include those in the Haile (~ 4.2 Moz Au), …

The use of cyanide heap leaching or tank leaching enabled open-pit mining of low-grade oxidized gold deposits starting in the 1960s. This revolutionized gold mining which, …
Cotton Patch Gold Mine, located in the heart of North Carolina's gold country, has a storied history dating back to the early days of America's gold mining era. With verified gold finds, and an operational gold mine, Cotton Patch extends a unique offer — a pay-to-dig operation allowing visitors to prospect for gold on the property.
In 2016, approx. 1.9M tons of gold ore were imported worldwide- jumping by 16% against the previous year level. Overall, gold ore imports continue to indicate a remarkable increase. The pace of grow...
The answer is its unique mineral deposits, which formed 380 million years ago during the collision of Africa and North America. The intense heat and lack of water during their formation created ...
The Middle Cambrian through Lower Ordovician carbonate rocks of North America host some of the largest economic Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) base-metal sulfide deposits in the world. These rocks also host numerous subeconomic MVT deposits, minor and trace occurrences of mineralization, and hydrocarbon fields.
Sabre Gold holds of two past-producing mines in North America each at an advanced stage for near term production. Significant resources of 1.5M oz gold in M&I plus an additional …
Although placer gold is widespread, the location and nature of source mineralization is commonly unclear. This study is based on the inclusion suites recorded in 37 sample sets of gold particles from both placer and lode localities. Radar diagrams describing inclusion assemblages show clear generic differences according to deposit type.
Between 2011 and 2020, the number of major gold discoveries fell by 70%relative to 2001-2010. The lack of discoveries, alongside stagnating gold production, has cast a shadow of doubt on the future of gold supply. This infographic sponsored by NOVAGOLDhighlights the need for new gold mining projects with a focus on the …
2007), shear-zone gold deposits in green circles (Mutschler and Mooney, 1993), and some epithermal-type deposits in orange (Heald and others, 1987). With gold projected by some commodity analysts to exceed $1,800/ounce by the end of 2012, and with a focus on job and economic challenges in the
At the Getchell deposit, galkhaite is paragenetically late, but clearly associated with gold mineralization. Our data place gold mineralization at Getchell at 39.0 ± 2.1 Ma. This is the first unequivocally gold-related date produced for any of the Carlin-type systems.

Nonetheless, the deposit has the characteristics of Carlin-type deposits, including (1) an ore mineral assemblage consisting mostly of fine-grained pyrite, arsenian pyrite, and arsenopyrite; (2) association of Au with As, Sb, Hg, and Tl, and high Au/Ag ratios; (3) a paragenesis that includes early Fe-As sulfides and kaolinite, intermediate ...
Gold also combines to form the mineral ore calaverite (AuTe 2). Gold has no known biological role and is non-toxic. ... These type of gold deposit is most commonly associated with small amounts of disseminated pyrite or pyrrhotite …
The Carlin-type gold deposits in the Great Basin (western North America; Fig. 1) are the largest accumulations of gold and the least understood gold deposit type in the …
Red Chris is a Late Triassic porphyry Cu-Au-(Mo) deposit in the Stikinia island-arc terrane in northern B.C. Late Triassic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Stuhini Group host a series of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic (204–198 Ma) diorite to quartz monzonite stocks and dikes.

Previously, the age of carbonate-sulfide vein-type gold mineralization was initially determined to be approximately c. 105 Ma (105.5 ± 9 Ma) based on Rb-Sr isotopes of pyrite and Sm-Nd isotopes (104.8 ± 5.1 Ma) of dolomite.The ore-forming materials were primarily considered to be of crustal origin (Li et al., 2020, Song et al., 2022).
Carlin-type gold deposits John L. Muntean1*, Jean S. Cline2, Adam C. Simon2 and Anthony A. Longo2 The Eocene epoch in the Great Basin of western North America was a period of profuse magmatism and hydrothermal activity. During that period, the Carlin-type gold deposits in Nevada were produced, Earth's second largest concentration
In September 2023, scientists funded by a mining company reported finding what could be the largest deposit of lithium in an ancient US supervolcano. Now public researchers on the other side of the country have uncovered another untapped reservoir – one that could cover nearly half the nation's lithium demands.

And we know the ancient people in Mexico, Central America and North America were mining for various materials. There isn't much evidence for these types of mines. "What we found is the only hematite mine, a type of iron also known as ochre, recorded in South America prior to the Spanish conquest.
American Rare Earths owns about 8,000 acres of mining claims here – called the Halleck Creek Project – on a mix of private, federal and state land. The company announced promising results from exploratory drilling on Halleck Creek earlier this year, determining that there are about 5 million tons of rare earth oxides on their claims. This could make it the …
