The intermediate argillic gold assemblage is the most widespread, with gold hosted mainly by chlorite, illite, smectite, and interstratified illite–chlorite–smectite minerals. The gold fineness is mostly variable (875–990) and inherited from the former gold mineral assemblages.
Apr 24, 2015· The ore deposits are generally composed of a main product, one or more byproducts and trace elements such as zincleadsilver, coppergold, chromiumnickel platinumpalladium. Sometimes a single mineral forms the valuable deposit such as calcite in marble.
Intrusiverelated gold deposits rely on gold existing in the fluids associated with the magma (White, 2001), and the inevitable discharge of these hydrothermal fluids into the wallrocks (Lowenstern, 2001).
