Hydrothermal gold in quartz (white mineral) vein with other gangue minerals (black minerals). Geochemical studies on gold bearing quartz-carbonate veins are important to determine temperature, pressure, at which the veins were generated, and the chemical signature of fluids. Quartz is generally the dominant mineral in the veins, but there are ...
Ore minerals are generally confined to small veinlets and less common larger veins that formed as fracture fillings in the host rocks. [21] Hydrothermal breccia can often occur, sometimes in the form of pebble dikes. [22] Hydrothermal alteration The wallrock on both sides of each veinlet is typically altered to varying degrees.

Carlin-type gold ore from the Twin Creeks mine, Nevada, near the Getchell Mine. This is an auriferous, silicified-decalcified siltstone/mudstone from the Comus Formation (Lower Ordovician). Ore grade is about 0.20 to 0.25 ounces of gold per ton of rock. The gold mineralization is very finely disseminated: "invisible gold".
Intrusive related gold usually also contains copper, and is often associated with tin and tungsten, and rarely molybdenum, antimony, and uranium. Intrusive-related gold deposits rely on gold existing in the fluids associated with the magma (White, 2001), and the inevitable discharge of these hydrothermal fluids into the wall-rocks (Lowenstern ...
Gold had a strong run in 2019, reaching a six-year high in the summer as factors including a weaker dollar, US-Iran tension, global growth fears and a U-turn from the world’s central banks all ...
The content of gold within these deposits is largely variable, and can be a factor in the economic value of the deposit. The gold contents of all deposits averages 0.41 g/t Au, with the majority of worldwide deposits averaging less than 1 g/t Au. [2] The occurrence of native gold mineralization. Example from Kalgoorlie Australia.
The 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge reminds us that appeasing tyrants never works. The U.S. must continue to stand strong against tyrants like Vladimir Putin to keep America safe.
