Download or read book Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Genesis of Gold Deposits written by I.Y. Nekrasov and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The behaviour of gold in sedimentary, magmatic and postmagmatic processes are studied and 40 gold-bearing minerals including ten which were recently discovered are described. The results are presented of new experimental studies on phase relations in gold-sulphide systems. The solubility & form of gold migration in high-temperature chloride, sulphide and arsenic solutions are determined. Based on the new data, the genesis of gold deposits is studied and a geochemical classification proposed. This book is designed for specialists in the field of gold chemistry, geochemistry and mineralogy and for field geologists surveying and prospecting for gold.
