Several generations of arsenopyrite exist, with zonation present in the bigger crystals. Within the arsenopyrite, gold is heterogeneously distributed as gold-rich rims and goldpoor cores (Oberthür et al. 1994). ...

The traditional concept of the Early Proterozoic gold deposits in Ghana — i.e. gold-bearing shear zones overlain by Tarkwaian paleoplacers containing reworked gold derived from the shear-zones — needs to be reconsidered in the light of recent research in Ghana, the Ivory Coast and French Guiana. This research has revealed a consistent pattern of geostructural and metallogenic …

Fetish comprises two pervasively auriferous intrusive granite bodies and associated host sediment gold mineralisation within an area 550 m long and 300 m wide. The large, low grade eastern granite intrusive is up to 170 m wide, while the western granitoid and host sediment mineralisation is approximately 40 m wide with grades averaging 1.6 g/t Au.

In the Ashanti belt of Ghana, the following types of primary gold mineralisation are present: (i) Generally steeply dipping quartz veins in shear zones mainly in Birimian sedimentary rocks (e.g. Konongo, Ashanti and Prestea mines) (ii) Sulfide ores, spatially often closely associated with the quartz veins, with auriferous arsenopyrite as a ...
The gold mineralization of Ghana is either primary along the shear-zones in the Birimian of the Gold Coast Range (Ashanti-type or Bl-hosted deposits) where production over the past century has exceeded 1000 t (Kesse 1985), or …
Extensive studies have established that these rocks host most of Ghana's mineral deposits such as gold and diamond (Leube et al. 1990;Hirdes et al. 1992; Fougerouse et al. 2017; Kazapoe & Arhin ...
Gold mineralization within the Birimian and Tarkwaian rocks of Ghana occur as disseminated gold-sulphide deposits hosted by volcanic rocks, Tarkwaian gold–bearing conglomerate, mesothermal auriferous arsenopyrite, and gold-bearing quartz vein mineralization also known as the "Ashanti-type" and mesothermal gold-quartz vein deposits with ...
In southern Ghana, gold mineralization has been identified with greenstone belts and has been reported to occur along broad shear zones and in narrow faults immediately adjacent to ... chalcopyrite is also present in the fractures.

The Möss spectroscopy method was used to study the ligand microstructure of natural arsenopyrite (31 specimens) from the ores of the major gold deposits of the Yenisei Ridge (Eastern Siberia, Russia). Arsenopyrite and native gold are paragenetic minerals in the ore; meanwhile, arsenopyrite is frequently a gold carrier. We detected iron positions with variable …
Ore-forming fluids in most hydrothermal gold deposits are in fact Au-undersaturated and contain very low both Au and As contents (1–100 ppb Au, 0.10–100 ppm As; Mikucki, 1998; Goldfarb and Groves, 2015), the refinement processes that can efficiently produce high As–Au contents in arsenian pyrite or arsenopyrite (e.g., Reich et al., 2005, Sung et al., 2009) exert a …
In the Pataz-Parcoy district, current mining activity is focused on the mesothermal quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins hosted by the Pataz batholith. Total gold production yielded approximately 8 Moz with grades in the mined ore shoots varying between 7 and 15 g/t Au, and locally reaching up to 120 g/t Au. High-grade ore shoots are extraordinarily enriched in …
In this study we investigate the well-documented Obuasi gold deposit, Ghana (Oberthür et al., 1994, Allibone et al., 2002, Fougerouse et al., 2015), which provides a natural laboratory to address the issue of remobilisation, due to the presence of very high concentrations of native gold in the hinges of folded quartz veins and a spatial association with gold-rich …
Two economic styles of mineralization occur at Obuasi and contribute equally to the gold budget. These are (1) gold-bearing sulfides, dominantly arsenopyrite, mainly …
