The bulk of the gold mineralisation in the Lienetz ore zone is related to porphyrystyle features, speci fi cally an anhydritebiotite orthoclasecemented breccia facies association (L4) that is associated with a feldsparphyric syenite intrusion (L5).
Ore fluids were moderate temperature (~180°–240°C), low salinity (~2–3 wt % NaCl equiv), CO 2bearing (<4 mol %), and CH 4poor (< mol %), with sufficient H 2S (10–1–10–2m) to transport Au.
He found that the gold was deposited in two stages, around 1780 and 1520 million years ago. The mineralisation style is unique to the Mt Isa Block, but resembles gold mineralisation in the Tennant Creek area.
· ZIMBABWE'S GOLD POTENTIAL. By Test Test. Feb 14, 2008. Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country whose colonisation by Europeans was a direct result of its perceived rich and wide variety of gold deposits. The Portuguese occupied parts of the country in the 17th century and traded in gold with local miners. Following the accounts of the Portuguese ...
· When panning, raw gold weighs the heaviest and is found in the rifles or along the bottom edge of the pan. True Gold's Color Perform a simple test of the material in the pan to assess whether it is real gold. Raw gold appears brassy yellow and bright. If you think it is gold, place your hand between it and the sun to create shade over the gold.
Some parameters of the fluids (their salinity and pressure) at orogenic gold deposits are demonstrated to systematically vary from older (median salinity wt.%, median pressure 1680 bar) to younger (median salinity wt.%, median pressure 1305 bar) deposits.
Gold conducts heat and electricity. Copper and silver are the best conductors, but gold connections outlast both of them because they do not tarnish. It is not that the gold lasts longer, but that it remains conductive for a longer time. Gold is .
The identified geochemical features are indiive of the reducing conditions of ore deposition, participation of magmatogenic fluid in ore formation, and the enclosing rocks being the possible sources of ore material. Isotope studies indie that the oreforming fluid has a mixed, metamorphogenic–magmatogenic composition.
Dilatant zones along faults and highly fractured rocks in the Oatman Andesite contain the greatest amount and highest grade of ore. Gold grades within individual veins are remarkably constant both laterally and vertically, and oregrade gold is restricted to a .
Gold is usually found as a metal alloyed to some degree with silver or sometimes with mercury as an amalgam. Gold sizes found on Earth range from sizeable nuggets through tiny grains in alluvial (river) deposits to microscopic pieces in rocks. Abou Isotopes: Gold has 35 isotopes whose halflives are known, with mass numbers 171 to 205.
Highgrade (>1 g/t Au) orebodies are loed in komatiite wall rock adjacent to the eastern and northeastern margins of the asymmetrical, northsouthstriking, Tarmoola trondhjemite intrusion. Goldbearing veins postdate trondhjemite emplacement (ca. 2700 Ma), quartz diorite dikes (ca. 2667 Ma), and regional greenschist facies metamorphism.
The Gold Standard was a system under which nearly all countries fixed the value of their currencies in terms of a specified amount of gold, or linked their currency to that of a country which did so. Domestic currencies were freely convertible into gold at the fixed price and there was no restriction on the import or export of gold.

Within the scope of the evaluation and optimization of a grinding circuit, the breakage and mineral liberation characteristics of three low grade sulphide gold ore blends have been investigated by Bond tests, batch grinding tests, and mineral liberation characterization. The tests were conducted in a size range from to 2Â mm.
· Amankwah et al., 2005 35, performed tests on samples of a gold ore containing quartz, silies and iron oxides with a head grade of g/t of gold, using 2 kW of power in a multimode cavity. It was seen that the microwave treatment resulted in a maximum reduction of % in crushing strength and a reduction of % in work index.
