Major Gold Deposit Types and Exploration process
ore-genetic associations and their petrogenesis is widely debated, especially in the context of the nature and source(s) of the ore-forming fluids. Significant progress has been made in the fields of exploration geochemistry, geophysics, and data integration, providing better tools to assist the discovery of new gold deposits. The
Distinguishing the Type of Ore-Forming Fluids in Gold
Pyrite geochemistry is crucial for the discrimination of the types of ore-forming fluids in gold deposits, such as metamorphic–hydrothermal fluids and magmatic–hydrothermal fluids. With the assistance of supervised machine learning algorithms, this application can be leveraged maximally. Here, laser ablation inductively …
