China says it has discovered the world’s largest known deposit of gold, estimated to be worth over $80bn (£63bn).. The deposit at the Wangu goldfield in central China could yield more than ...
A variety of gold deposits are formed in accretionary orogens, including orogenic gold deposits. [38] Orogenic gold deposits are typically located in metamorphosed fore-arc and back-arc regions, as well as in the arc [3] and show a close spatial relationship to lamprophyres and associated felsic porphyry dikes and sills.

The Waihi District, New Zealand: This region is home to several epithermal vein deposits, including the Martha Mine, one of the largest gold mines in New Zealand. [ 10 ] The Guanajuato Mining District, Mexico : This district has been mined for centuries and is known for its high-grade epithermal veins containing gold and silver.
After the majority of the gold input was finished, many large scale tectonic and geological events have occurred. Such event ages obtained by the monazite, Rb–Sr, and paleomagnetic studies. During these events the gold was likely remobilized and other ore minerals (e.g. pyrite) formed to create the present day state of Sukhoi Log.
All of the deposits shown that are north and east of the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend (and many of the others) are Carlin-type gold deposits.
