Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

The most characteristic feature of hydrothermal deposits of gold is its intimate association
with pyrite. Microscopically visible gold occurs in pyrite ore as metal particles of> 0.1 µm in …

A large proportion of the critical elements resources Ge, Ga, and In are associated with
sphalerite in Pb-Zn ore deposits. Germanium in sphalerite has been proposed to be …

Recognizing if and how Au is remobilized, in solid, melt, or fluid state, is critical for
understanding the origin of high-grade ore zones in Au deposits. When evidence for Au …

Chemical zoning in minerals records fluid-rock interaction and crystal growth kinetics via
texturally complex features, the genesis of which remains a subject of debate. Here, we …

The giant Carlin-type Au deposits (Nevada, USA) contain gold hosted in arsenic-rich iron
sulfide (pyrite), but the processes controlling the sequestration of Au in these hydrothermal …

Mining of “invisible gold” associated with sulfides in gold ores represents a significant
proportion of gold production worldwide. Gold hosted in sulfide minerals has been proposed …

Yuhengtang is a representative slate-hosted Au deposit in the Jiangnan orogenic belt, South
China, with a reserve of~ 55 t Au and an average grade of~ 3.9 g/t. Gold mineralization is …

Gold (Au) is largely hosted by pyrite in a variety of hydrothermal systems, but the
incorporation of Au into pyrite under disequilibrium conditions remains poorly understood …

Carlin-type gold deposits are one of the most important gold mineralization styles in the
world. Despite their economic importance and the large volume of work that has been …
