The Geology Of Gold by Harold Kirkemo, William L. Newman, and Roger P. Ashley Gold is relatively scarce in the earth, but it occurs in many different kinds of rocks and in many different geological environments. Though scarce, gold is concentrated by geologic processes to form commercial deposits of two principal types: lode (primary) deposits and placer (secondary) deposits. Lode deposits are the targets for the "hardrock" prospector seeking gold at the site of its deposition from mineralizing solutions. Geologists have proposed various hypotheses to explain the source of solutions from which mineral constituents are precipitated in lode deposits. One widely accepted hypothesis proposes that many gold deposits, especially those found in volcanic and sedimentary rocks, formed from circulating ground waters driven by heat from bodies of magma (molten rock) intruded into the Earth's crust within about 2 to 5 miles of the surface. Active geothermal systems, which are exploited in parts of the United States for natural hot water and steam, provide a modern analog for these gold-depositing systems. Most of the water in geothermal systems originates as rainfall, which moves downward through fractures and permeable beds in cooler parts of the crust and is drawn laterally into areas heated by magma, where it is driven upward through fractures. As the water is heated, it dissolves metals from the surrounding rocks. When the heated waters reach cooler rocks at shallower depths, metallic minerals precipitate to form veins or blanket-like ore bodies.

Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity All of the gold ever mined in all of human history would fill a cube only 60 feet on a side!

3. The Geology Of Coarse Gold Formation The geology of Coarse gold Formation. By Chris Ralph. The goal of metal detecting for gold is finding coarse nuggets. In order to better understand where http://www.nuggetshooter.com/articles/CRGeologyofcoarsegoldformation.html

The Geology of Coarse Gold Formation By Chris Ralph The prospector using a metal detector is primarily interested in coarser gold as larger nuggets are easier to detect, and of course, more valuable! It turns out that coarse gold most commonly forms in small veins (for the sake of argument, lets say for our discussion that coarse gold is stuff a Penney weight or larger). Big veins, with a width and length large enough to be mined commercially underground, almost always produce small gold - wires, small pieces, etc - even though they may be fairly rich. Of course, there are a number of exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking, it is true. So why, in general,does big gold form in small veins, while mostly only small gold forms in big veins? Often, the source of the heat is some sort of cooling magma (lava, still molten or solidified but still hot). This kind of heat source throws off so much heat energy that the rock may well be warm to within 100 feet of the surface, even if the source is over 2000 feet down. The temperature does not drop off suddenly once the solution gets a short distance from the source. The drop in temperature as you move away from the heat source is gradual, and usually fairly linear, at least within a few hundred feet of the surface. So the temperature of the rock (and the water solutions as well) becomes directly related to how far they are from the heat source. The rate of cooling then becomes a simple function of how fast the fluids move upward.

5. Prospecting For Gold In The United States Some degree of success in finding gold still remains for those choosing favorable areas after a careful study of mining records and the geology of the http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/prospect2/prospectgip.html

Prospecting for Gold in the United States by Harold Kirkemo Anyone who pans for gold hopes to be rewarded by the glitter of colors in the fine material collected in the bottom of the pan. Although the exercise and outdoor activity experienced in prospecting are rewarding, there are few thrills comparable to finding gold. Even an assay report showing an appreciable content of gold in a sample obtained from a lode deposit is exciting. The would-be prospector hoping for financial gain, however, should carefully consider all the pertinent facts before deciding on a prospecting venture. Many believe that it is possible to make wages or better by panning gold in the streams of the West, particularly in regions where placer mining formerly flourished. However, most placer deposits have been thoroughly reworked at least twicefirst by Chinese laborers, who arrived soon after the initial boom periods and recovered gold from the lower grade deposits and tailings left by the first miners, and later by itinerant miners during the 1930's. Geologists and engineers who systematically investigate remote parts of the country find small placer diggings and old prospect pits whose number and wide distribution imply few, if any, recognizable surface indications of metal-bearing deposits were overlooked by the earlier miners and prospectors. One who contemplates prospecting for gold should realize that a successful venture does not necessarily mean large profits even if the discovery is developed into a producing mine. Although the price of gold has increased significantly since 1967 when the fixed price of $35 an ounce was terminated, the increases in the cost of virtually every supply and service item needed in prospecting and mining ventures have kept profit margins at moderate levels, particularly for the small mine operator. In general, wide fluctuations in the price of gold are not uncommon, whereas inflationary pressures are more persistent. The producer of gold, therefore, faces uncertain economic problems and should be aware of their effects on his operation.

These alluvial gold deposits have been, and are, an important resource especially in Otago and Southland. Mercury (Hg) in alluvial gold Alluvial gold in some Southland valleys has recently been found to contain a high mercury content. Mercury sulphide (cinnabar, HgS) from hydrothermal veins (see map) is commonly found with alluvial gold in gravels. Dissolved mercury in streams is elevated above background but is lower than drinking water limits. Miners melting recovered gold have inadvertently inhaled and ingested high levels of mercury.

The publication is the latest in a protracted and wide-ranging collaborative investigation that documents the behavior of gold in pluton-related systems in the Battle Mountain Mining District. The monograph includes documentation of the three-dimensional relationship between distal-disseminated Ag-Au deposits and the skarn-related, porphyry Cu environmentincluding revised grade-tonnage distributions for the formeras well as documentation of a complex structural imbrication in the Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian Havallah sequence in the upper plate of the Golconda thrust and its role in the genesis of the gold deposits. It also contains a comprehensive examination of petrochemical evolution of submarine volcanic rocks in the Havallah basin. As a result, regional exploration criteria are developed for distal-disseminated Ag-Au environments and their coeval relations with Carlin-type gold deposits. The book also includes three recently completed full-color geologic maps at 1:24,000 scale of the northern one-half of the Battle Mountain Mining District. These maps are of the Valmy, North Peak, and Snow Gulch 7 1/2 minute quadrangles.

You have entered the Canoe Saskatchewan suite A Brief Description of Major Gold Deposits of Saskatchewan The people of Saskatchewan not directly concerned with mining are scarcely aware of the mineral potential of the province. We are the prime source of Potash and Uranium in the world. We also have and have had "world class" gold mines in our province. The recognition that Saskatchewan geology provides the framework and vast potential for truly world class mines has been slow in coming. Gold, that most elusive of noble metals, is abundant in our Precambrian shield areas. The surface has barely been scratched, the potential has barely been touched at this point. Some excellent reference books are available to those who would wish to delve further. The best and most accessible "Gold in Saskatchewan" (Open File Report 84-1) is available from the Department of Mineral Resources' Core Lab in La Ronge or the main office in Regina. Beginnings are vague The Churchill subprovince We are fortunate that "our" rocks have trapped and crystallized a vast amount of gold. Gold sightings over the years can be traced from those first reports by canoeists in the early 1900s spotting visible gold in quartz veins in Western Craton outcrops on Pine Channel (north shore of Lake Athabasca). This predated visible gold discovered at Amisk Lake (The Prince Albert Deposit) in 1914. Exploration/ prospecting during and immediately after the first world war resulted in further discoveries related to the original Pine Channel and Amisk Lake showings. In the early 1930's the north shore of Lake Athabasca saw renewed exploration initiated by the discovery of yet more gold. The Box Mine resulted.

17. California's Natural Resources: A Brief History Of The Gold Rush The California gold Rush, from the State of California s CERES. http://www.ceres.ca.gov/ceres/calweb/geology/goldrush.html

The California Gold Rush In January of 1848, James Marshall had a work crew camped on the American River at Coloma near Sacramento. The crew was building a saw mill for John Sutter. On the cold, clear morning of January 24, Marshall found a few tiny gold nuggets. Thus began one of the largest human migrations in history as a half-million people from around the world descended upon California in search of instant wealth. The first printed notice of the discovery was in the March 15 issue of "The Californian" in San Francisco. Shortly after Marshall's discovery, General John Bidwell discovered gold in the Feather River and Major Pearson B. Reading found gold in the Trinity River. The Gold Rush was soon in full sway. In 1849, quartz mining began at the Mariposa mine in Mariposa County. Gold deposits were often found inside quartz veins. In 1850, California became a state. Also that year, gold-bearing quartz was found at Gold Hill in Grass Valley. This led to the development of the great underground mines in that district and a major industry the continued for more than 100 years. In 1851, Gold was discovered in Greenhorn Creek, Kern County. This discovery led to the rush to the upper Kern River region. By 1852, California's annual gold production reach a then all-time high of $81 million.

GEOLOGY OF THE RIDGEWAY GOLD DEPOSITS RIDGEWAY, SOUTH CAROLINA INTRODUCTION Kennecott Minerals Company (KMC) operates a 15,000-ton-per-day open-pit gold mine located approximately 5 miles east of the town of Ridgeway, and 25 miles north of Columbia, South Carolina (Figure 1). The Ridgeway gold mine is one of four gold mines which were put in production in South Carolina in the 1980’s. It is currently the only operating gold mine in the Eastern United States. BRIEF HISTORY OF DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT The Ridgeway gold deposits are essentially virgin discoveries which had been known to only a few prospectors before the 1960’s. Both deposits have small prospect pits along the west sides of the pits, and a few other pits have been found scattered along the Ridgeway trend for several miles east and west. Several people participated in the "rediscovery" of the deposits in modern times, and include: • Prospector John Chapman, whose gold panning efforts recognized gold in the vicinity of the deposits and who passed this information along to the South Carolina State Geological Survey; • Geologists Henry Bell and Henry Johnson, whose geochemical investigations of streams and auger borings peripheral to the deposits established the presence of gold, tin, and other anomalous metals;
