Special Paper: Adakite-Like Rocks: Their Diverse Origins and Questionable Role in Metallogenesis
TL;DR: The case for these petrogenetic models for adakites and high Mg andesites is best made in the Archean, when higher mantle geotherms resulted in subducting slabs potentially reaching partial melting temperatures at shallow depths before dehydration rendered the slab infusible as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
P—T—t—deformation—fluid characteristics of lode gold deposits: evidence from alteration systematics
TL;DR: The majority of lode gold deposits formed proximal to regional translithospheric terrane-boundary structures that acted as vertically extensive hydrothermal plumbing systems; the structures record variably thrust, and transpressional-transtensional displacements as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of fine-grained clastic sediments in the Archean Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada: Implications for provenance and tectonic setting
Renfei Feng,Robert Kerrich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major and trace elements are analyzed for turbiditic facies and alluvial facies samples from the Southern Volcanic Zone of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sources of Metals and Fluids in Orogenic Gold Deposits: Insights from the Otago and Alpine Schists, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this paper, a large suite of samples representative of the lithologic and metamorphic variation in the Otago and Alpine schists was collected and analyzed for a comprehensive suite of elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The characteristics, origins, and geodynamic settings of supergiant gold metallogenic provinces
TL;DR: There are six distinct classes of gold deposits, each represented by metallogenic provinces, having 100's to >1000 tonne gold production as mentioned in this paper : orogenic gold; (2) Carlin and Carlin-like gold deposits; (3) epithermal gold-silver deposits; copper-gold porphyry deposits; iron-oxide copper-Gold deposits; and (6) gold-rich volcanic hosted massive sulfide (VMS) to sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits.
