[PDF] Gold Deposits in Metamorphic Belts: Overview of …

Metamorphic belts are complex regions where accretion or collision has added to, or thickened, continental crust. Gold-rich deposits can be formed at all stages of orogen evolution, so that evolving metamorphic belts contain diverse gold deposit types that may be juxtaposed or overprint each other. This partly explains the high level of controversy on the origin of some …

Structural and Geochemistry of Air Piau Gold

The formation of the Air Piau Gold Deposit in North-East Peninsular Malaysia due to Permo–Triassic subduction and collision between Sibumasu and East Malaya blocks and resulted in several phases of deformation, contraction, and metamorphism. Kinematic and petrography study of quartz veins in Air Piau area observed whether following the foliation of …

Geology of the Yindongpo gold deposit

Phanerozoic orogenic gold deposits worldwide are commonly considered to be formed from metamorphic devolatilization of marine carbonaceous sedimentary rocks. Here we show that the Yindongpo gold deposit from the Qinling orogen (central China) is genetically associated with the metamorphism of volcanic rocks during the late Paleozoic orogeny, which involved the closure …

It is concluded that the mineralization at Renco illustrates the rare case of a midcrustal high-grade metamorphic gold mineralization in southern Africa where the vast majority of Late Archean lode gold deposits are related to low-grade metamorphic granite-greenstone terranes.

Distribution, Character, and Genesis of Gold Deposits in Metamorphic

Epigenetic gold deposits in metamorphic terranes include those of the Precambrian shields (approx 23,000-25,000 t Au), particularly the Late Archean greenstone belts and Paleoproterozoic fold belts, and of the late Neoproterozoic and younger Cordilleran-style orogens (approx 22,000 t lode and 15,500 t placer Au), mainly along the margins of Gondwana, Laurentia, and the more …

Metamorphic and Metamorphogenic Ore Deposits

The types of mainly metallic mineralization found in metamorphic terranes are reviewed and an attempt is made to define the genetic relations between the mineralization and the metamorphic events.The terms metamorphosed, metamorphic, and metamorphogenic as applied to ores are also considered.The development of thought and the history of investigations on ores in …

Gold‐quartz veins in metamorphic terranes and their …

Gold-quartz vein fields in metamorphic terranes such as greenstone belts provide evidence for the involvement of large volumes of fluids during faulting and may be products of seismic processes near the base of the seismogenic regime. In the Val d'Or district of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada, quartz-tourmaline-carbonate veins form a vein field (30 × 15 km) in …

Like the Otago Schist, in both terranes detrital rutile is identified as being the most important host mineral for W in the lowest metamorphic grade rocks, and its prograde metamorphic recrystallization (to ilmenite) makes significant amounts of W available for mobilization (0.65 and 1.85 g of W per tonne of rock from the Goldenville and ...

Gold concentrations in metamorphic fluids: A LA-ICPMS …

Anomalously gold-rich fluids may also occur in deeper metamorphic terrains, but representative regional-metamorphic fluid inclusions are difficult to relate to the formation of orogenic gold deposits due to the crustal-scale extent of these ore-forming systems (Groves, 1993), and because primary fluid inclusions are rare in regional metamorphic ...

What controls gold distribution in Archean terranes?

Relationships among gold endowment, shear-zone trend, and geologic complexity, as measured by fractal dimensions, indicate that (1) ore fluids were focused into those parts of the shear zone with greatest misorientation from the regional trend, which define dilational sites during shearing and became the sites of world-class gold deposits; and ...

Deposits are also found in higher-grade metamorphic rocks, known as hypozonal gold deposits. These deposits are mostly hosted in amphibolite-facies rocks in greenstone belts and are characterized by high-temperature alteration assemblages such as garnet, diopside, hornblende, and K-feldspar and ore-forming temperatures as high as ~500–700 °C (Kolb et …
