SOME IMPORTANT GOLD MODELS
• Porphyry copper-gold and skarn gold
• Epithermal gold (high-, intermediate- and low-sulfidation)
• VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfides)
• Carlin type gold (and Carlin-like deposits)
• Orogenic gold (mesothermal, slate belt, Achaean lode gold)
• IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold)
• Witwatersrand (paleoplacer)
• Sedimentary Exhalative (Sedex)
• Placer/ alluvial gold

Non Conventional Deposits
WALL ROCK ALTERATION
(Goldfarb, 2009)
• Sericitzation, carbonization, (de-) silicification, sulfidation
• Discoloration (bleached halo: >10s cm to 10sm
• Chlorite + albite + CO2 + H2O + Au(HS)2
• Sericite + Fe-Mg carbonates + sulfides + Au
• Carbonate spots
• Sulfide porphyroblasts (pyrite + arsenopyrite; </- 3cm
