These deposits are primarily formed through metamorphic processes, where fluids interact with rocks in tectonically active regions, creating significant concentrations of gold. Orogenic gold deposits are typically associated with large-scale crustal deformation, faulting, and shearing within greenstone and slate belts. Their genesis is closely related to tectonic events that lead to the rise of mountain belts and subsequent regional metamorphism. The paper highlights the global distribution of orogenic gold deposits, particularly in regions like the Archean greenstone belts of Canada, Australia, and Africa, as well as in Phanerozoic terranes. It discusses the critical geological factors such as pressure-temperature conditions, fluid dynamics, and metal sources that play key roles in the formation of these deposits. The understanding of these processes is essential for gold exploration, offering geologists insights into where to find large, economically viable gold deposits. P. Geo. Ricardo A Valls, M.
