Orogenic gold deposits : A proposed classification in the context of their crustal distribution and relationship to other gold deposit types

TL;DR: The orogenic gold deposits were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens as discussed by the authors, with gold deposition from 15-20 km to the near surface environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orogenic gold and geologic time: a global synthesis

TL;DR: Orogenic gold deposits have formed over more than 3 billion years of Earth's history, episodically during the MiddleArchean to younger Precambrian, and continuously throughout the Phanerozoic as discussed by the authors.
Book ChapterDOI

Distribution, character and genesis of gold deposits in metamorphic terranes

TL;DR: Gold deposits in metamorphic terranes include those of the Precambrian shields (approx 23,000-25,000 t Au), particularly the Late Archean greenstone belts and Paleoproterozoic fold belts, and of the late NeoproTERozoic and younger Cordilleran-style orogens (approximately 22,000t lode and 15,500 t placer Au), mainly along the margins of Gondwana, Laurentia, and the more recent circum-Pacific) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gold Deposits in Metamorphic Belts: Overview of Current Understanding,Outstanding Problems, Future Research, and Exploration Significance

TL;DR: Gold-dominant intrusion-related deposits are a less coherent group of deposits, which are mainly Phanerozoic in age, and include a few world-class, but no unequivocal giant, examples as discussed by the authors.
