Characterisation and 3D modelling of a nuggety, vein-hosted gold ore …
Modelling gold potential from geological features Studies by Dominy and Johansen (2004) have shown that where gold has a very high nugget effect, sampling of the ore body using half-core does not provide a large enough sample size for gold assay and this can result in serious underestimation of gold grade.
Modelling the pyrite oxidation level in a refractory gold …
Many numerical modelling tools have been developed to simulate pyrite oxidation as well as the related physical and geochemical processes for ore leaching and AMD prediction. Early modelling work can be found in Cathles and Apps, 1975, Jaynes et al., 1984, Davis and Ritchie, 1986, Pantelis, 1993, Elberling, et al., 1994, Wunderly et …
Modelling Ore Bodies of High-Nugget Gold Using …
In vein-hosted gold deposits, gold distribution typically shows very low spatial continuity, i.e., a very high-nugget effect, which makes it unreliable to model the ore-body using traditional geostatistical techniques [1, 2].In such situations geologists may resort to using a proxy for gold, such as presence of alteration or deformation, to outline the ore …
Characterisation and 3D modelling of a nuggety, vein-hosted gold ore …
In high-nugget gold ore bodies, samples taken from drill core for gold assay are typically too small to allow for the extreme spatial variability in grade and are a poor representation of the underlying distribution of mineralisation.The GQ North lode at the Sunrise Dam Gold Mine in Western Australia is a good example of an orebody which …
3D prospectivity modelling of orogenic gold in the Marymia Inlier …
The Proterozoic Marymia Inlier is known for orogenic gold deposits along granite-mafic rock contacts within major bounding thrust planes, including the producing Plutonic mine. A 3D prospectivity model was built based largely on surface geology extended into the subsurface using geophysical data, confirmed by drill data when …
Modelling the pyrite oxidation level in a refractory gold …
Note that in our modelling system, the oxygen transport is simulated at two different scales. One is at the bulk scale over the stockpile, where it is assumed . Conclusions. This paper presents a numerical modelling framework for estimating the pyrite oxidation level in refractory gold ore stockpiles.

2. Gold mineralisation in breccia's and stockwork veins which formed as a consequence of dilation of thrusts and faults, and fracturing of tonalite dykes. 2.4 Previously suggested genetic models . A number of different ore genesis models have been proposed for Sadiola Hill deposit.
Deposit-scale structural controls on orogenic gold deposits: …
The first attempts to propose a process model for the localisation of high-grade ore shoots in vein-style gold deposits date back to the early twentieth century (e.g. Hulin 1929).For example, in the case of gold-bearing reefs at Norseman, Western Australia, reefs, which were hosted by moderate flat-dipping reverse faults, a systematic …

New Perspectives for UAV-Based Modelling the Roman Gold …
The systematic exploitation of gold ore deposits may have started during the period of Roman domination in the Mediterranean. According to recent archaeological findings in the mining site of Pino del Oro (Zamora), Sánchez-Palencia et al. [ 6 ] suggest that the earliest prospection works in northwest Spain started during pre-roman times.

Ore shoots in folded and fractured rocks – Insights from 3D modelling …
The bulk of the gold in the orogenic gold deposit at Fosterville is late stage, was emplaced after the main period of the Benambran fold development and is localised by later faulting events. 3D implicit modelling results described here demonstrate that the shallow (~23°) south-plunging ore shoots do not parallel the accompanying folds (plunge ...
Geometallurgical Characterization and Automated Mineralogy of Gold …
For refractory gold ores, in which gold occurs mainly as submicroscopic gold in sulfide minerals and is associated with carbonaceous matter in some deposits, pretreatment is required before leaching, making gold ore processing more challenging and ore characterization more important. 3.1.

The ore shoots are discrete, elongate zones within a planar contact surface that contain higher metal contents than the adjacent parts of the host rock (Peters, 1993a). The two known ore shoots in the Navachab gold deposit are economically defined by relatively high gold grades of 3–7 ppm (Steven and Badenhorst, 2002). One major ore …

Orogenic gold-quartz deposits have a clear structural control and are accompanied by wallrock metasomatic alteration. However, in detailed modeling of such deposits, there is often a mismatch between the structural plans for high-grade ore zone distribution and metasomatite zones, and the latter are not always associated with faults.
