Isotope and geochemical fingerprinting of placer gold: insights into the provenance and age

2023 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Characterisation of the source of hydrothermal gold deposits typically relies on isotopic composition and textural interpretations of co-precipitating minerals. However, native gold contains trace elements and mineral inclusions of value to source characterisation. In this …
