https://shorturl.at/QG9GA Orogenic gold deposits, often found in metamorphic belts worldwide, have a distinct association with ancient tectonic processes. The paper proposes a classification system that considers the crustal distribution of these deposits, helping to clarify their formation environments. These deposits are typically linked to orogenic belts and are concentrated in certain geological time periods, reflecting the secular nature of their formation. This classification system aids in understanding their relationship to other gold deposit types and their temporal distribution in Earth's crust. Furthermore, the paper explores the connection between orogenic gold deposits and the broader tectonic processes that shape the Earth's crust. It highlights how these deposits can provide valuable insights into the tectonic evolution of different regions. The study underscores the importance of considering both the spatial and temporal aspects of these deposits in order to predict their occurrence and to explore their economic potential. P. Geo.
