Epithermal deposits are a type of lode deposit.They contain economic concentrations from a precious metal such as gold and silver, and in some cases base metals such as copper, lead, iron ore and ...
Recognizing that gold precipitates near the surface in these systems, the great American geologist Waldemar Lindgren coined the term epithermal in 1933, epi meaning shallow and thermal referring to the heated fluid. The chemist Werner Giggenbach further subdivided epithermal gold deposits into low and high sulphidation types .
The gold mineralization at the Puzzle property occurs in epithermal quartz veins, stockworks and hydrothermal breccias, hosted by a 150-250-million-year old volcanic complex. Gold mineralization at Puzzle was originally identified by previous owners in an outcropping epithermal quartz vein which can be traced for over 1,400 metres along strike ...
The historical Tombstone silver district is renowned for its high-grade, oxidized silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper epithermal and CRD mineralization hosted in veins, mantos, pipes and disseminated ...
sulfidation epithermal to submarine stratiform deposit in the eastern region. It seems that the nature of geologic setting and magmatic evolution exert a profound influence on the mineralization environment. Most epithermal mineralization are hosted by stratovolcanoes and are associated with old caldera
Situated along the Big Creek Fault, "Hot Spot hosts a 1.7-kilometer-long mineralized structure with gold-in-soil values up to 4.1 g/t Au and a pathfinder signature indicative of a low-sulphidation epithermal system. A short trenching program in 2018 returned values of 0.42 g/t Au over 44 meters," Newell said.
The historical Tombstone silver district is renowned for its high-grade, oxidized silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper epithermal and CRD mineralization hosted in veins, mantos, pipes and disseminated ...
Epithermal Gold and Silver Deposits. April 2017 by Chris Ralph. Epithermal deposits form in the ground at shallow depths. They are popular with prospectors because can yield very rich deposits and they are widespread in the Western US.
This is a high-sulfidation epithermal deposit with outcropping gold and silver mineralization in oxides, related to silicified breccia associated with a pervasive siliceous alteration. Below the oxides level, there is mineralization consisting predominantly of arsenical copper and, to a lesser extent, covellite and supergene chalcocite.

High grade, up to bonanza grades, mineralization is typical of these deposits and one of the premier epithermal gold deposits in the world is the Hishakari Mine located on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. The deposits at this mine contain over 11 million ounces of gold of which approximately 6.5 million ounces have been mined.
Abstract. The Cibaliung gold project is located at the central portion of the Neogene Sunda‐Banda magmatic arc. Gold‐silver mineralization in the area is hosted in a thick sequence of sub‐aqueous basaltic andesite volcanics with intercalated sediments intruded by sub‐volcanic andesite to diorite plugs and dykes, and subsequently cut by a cluster of diatreme breccias.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2018) - Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: RG) (OTC Pink: RMIOF) (FSE: D4R) ("Romios" or the "Company") is pleased to present the results of a 3 week field program completed at the end of July, 2018 on the Company's Newmont Lake Property in the Golden Triangle Area of Northwestern British Columbia.
An epithermal gold deposit is one in which the gold mineralization occurs within 1 to 2 km of surface and is deposited from hot fluids. The fluids are estimated to range in temperature from less than 100°C to about 300°C and, during the formation of .
Sander, M., 1988, Geologic setting and the relation of epithermal gold-silver mineralization to wall rock alteration at the Round Mountain Mine, Nye County, Nevada, in Schafer, R., Et Al, Eds., Bulk Mineable Precious Metal Deposits of the Western United States, the Geological Society of .
The gold mineralization styles at the Fujimi and Onne Projects are classified as rift-related, low-sulfidation epithermal. Mineralization is typically associated with quartz-chalcedony-adularia-sericite±calcite in silicified and veined- or brecciated-structures, including dark .
Adularia-sericite Au-Ag (or low sulfidation 2) and Ag-Zn-Pb (intermediate sulfidation) epithermal deposits are located schematically in the low temperature, periphery of the mineral system, with porphyry Cu-Au-Mo and pyrophyllite-kaolinite (high sulfidation or acid-sulfate) Au-Cu epithermal systems more proximal to intrusive bodies. Skarn ...
The host rock for the epithermal gold silver mineralization at the mine is a silicified rhyolitic tuff (shown as Ts3). Faults and the Hosting of the Wind Mountain Gold and Silver Deposits. The Wind mountain gold and silver deposit exists in an area of intense geothermal activity, that still continues to this day.
The Bodie mining district in Mono County, California, is zoned with a core polymetallic-quartz vein system and silver- and gold-bearing quartz-adularia veins north and south of the core. The veins formed as a result of repeated normal faulting during doming shortly after extrusion of felsic flows and tuffs, and the magmatic-hydrothermal event seems to span at least 2 Ma. Epithermal ...
Oct 17, 2019· Epithermal gold deposits are among the richest gold deposits in the world with some bonanza grade ore shoots containing more than 1000 g/t gold, or in other words, a kilogram of gold for every tonne of rock mined. Unfortunately, the tonnage of ore in epithermal veins is typically small compared with other types of lower grade gold deposits. Gold mineralisation within epithermal veins .
The Company holds a portfolio of 30 gold projects which cover areas with known gold occurrences, a history of mining and are prospective for high-grade epithermal gold mineralization. Japan Gold's leadership team represent decades of resource industry and business experience, and the Company has recruited geologists, drillers and technical ...
La Gitana is a large, low-sulphidation, epithermal system hosting gold-silver mineralization. Gold-silver mineralization at La Gitana is found in high-grade shoots in northwest-trending, subvertical structures and as low-grade disseminations within broad zones of quartz stockworks and breccias.
