Orogenic gold deposits are comprised of complex quartz vein arrays that form as a result of fluid flow along transcrustal fault zones in active orogenic belts.

Orogenic gold ores are associated with regionally metamorphosed terranes of all ages (Kerrich and Cassidy, 1994) and are spatially linked to subduction-related thermal processes (Kerrich and Wyman, 1990) (Fig. 1).

Orogenic gold deposits have formed over more than 3 billion years of Earth's history, episodically during the Middle Archean to younger Precambrian, and continuously …

Concept-based orogenic gold exploration requires a scale-integrated approach using a robust mineral system model. Most genetic hypotheses for orogenic gold deposits that …

This review compares genetic parameters of 12 orogenic gold deposits. The set of examples is considered to represent largely the variability of orogenic gold deposit (OGD) characteristics.

Ore Processing: Once gold-bearing ore is extracted from the ground, it is usually processed to extract the gold particles. Ore processing methods can vary depending on the type of gold deposit, but commonly include crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation, and …

Orogenic gold deposits (Böhlke, 1982) dominantly form in metamorphic rocks in the mid- to shallow crust (5–15 km depth), at or above the brittle-ductile transition, in …

There are 20-30 types of gold ore. The most valuable ores of gold are quartz gold ore, silver gold ore, copper gold ore, gold sulfide ore, etc.

Concept-based orogenic gold exploration requires a scale-integrated approach using a robust mineral system model. Most genetic hypotheses for orogenic gold deposits that involve near-surface or magmatic-hydrothermal fluids are now negated in terms of a global mineral system model.

Orogenic gold deposits have formed over more than 3 billion years of Earth's history, episodically during the Middle Archean to younger Precambrian, and continuously throughout the Phanerozoic.

Gold occurs in a wide range of deposit types and settings, but this paper is concerned with deposits in which gold forms the main economic commodity or a co-product. Deposits in which gold occurs only as a by-product are not considered, including IOCG deposits.

Orogenic gold deposits (Böhlke, 1982) dominantly form in metamorphic rocks in the mid- to shallow crust (5–15 km depth), at or above the brittle-ductile transition, in compressional settings that facilitate transfer of hot gold-bearing fluids from deeper levels (Goldfarb et al., 2005; Groves et al., 1998; Phillips and Powell, 2009).
