An experimental survey of the gold concentrated from well water by a hydroelectrical extraction (HEE) method has been carried out in the famous Au metallogenic province in the eastern part of Shandong Province in northeastern China. This method is based on the existence of ionic Au in groundwater around ore bodies. Under the action of an external electric field, ionic Au migrates toward the cathode where the metal is absorbed by a special absorbent attached to the cathode. Promising areas for further exploration can be evaluated from the amount of Au in the absorbent.Distinct Au anomalies were discovered by the experimental survey. The results from the follow-up study of some of these anomalies have shown that most of them are related to the known placer Au deposits and to the primary Au occurrences. However, two new Au prospects and several new Au sources have been found which offer new targets for Au hunting in the area.The hydroelectrical extraction method is an effective technique of looking for Au in areas covered with transported overburden. Since the Au in well water can be concentrated on the cathode with the absorbent, the sensitivity requirement for Au analysis could be reduced. The method also provides a useful tool for the exploration of blind placer Au. 相似文献

Biogeochemistry has not been widely used as an exploration technique for Au in Western Australia because (1) sampling of soils and other surficial materials have been reasonably effective in finding new mineral deposits, and (2) it has been difficult to identify a consistent and regionally typical vegetation sample type. The potential of the technique has been tested at three sites in the goldfields of southern Western Australia. Vegetation and soil were analysed for Au from the Bounty (Mt Hope), Panglo and Zuleika Au deposits in the southern Yilgarn Craton. Gold concentrations in vegetation were generally lower at Panglo and Zuleika compared with Bounty, and probably reflect the depth to mineralization which is considerably greater at Panglo (40 m) and Zuleika (20 m) than at Bounty, where it is close to the surface. At Bounty, Au concentrations in dried vegetation varied from < 0.5 ppb in background areas to a maximum of 11 ppb (the highest for any area) over mineralization. In general, the association between Au concentrations in vegetation and mineralization is only weak although, at Zuleika, Maireana (bluebush) seemed a slightly better sample medium than soil for predicting the location of underlying mineralization.As the emphasis in exploration changes to more difficult terrains, the suitability of biogeochemistry needs to be re-examined. These preliminary results from Western Australia suggest that biogeochemistry may have some role to play in the search for deeply buried mineral deposits. 相似文献

A consistent pattern has been observed in the results obtained for Au in three soil and two porphyry copper ore samples serving as control reference standards in geochemical analyses. The mean reported by wet chemical methods (regardless of the measurement technique) was less than the mean by fire assay-based methods which, in turn, was less than the mean reported by laboratories using direct instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). These data have been obtained from 16 laboratories, some employing more than one method. Compared to INAA, values obtained for Au (at the 30–300 ppb level) using aqua regia (AR) dissolution were low by 24–42%, while those reported by fire assay-based methods were low by 14–26%.Studies of these samples and 32 rocks of widely varying composition revealed that the amount of Au remaining in the residue after AR attack ranged from 4% to 59% of the total. Gold dissolved by AR was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) after extraction into MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone), whereas Au remaining in the residue was determined by INAA. The slope of the line obtained by plotting Au by INAA vs. the sum of Au by AR/GFAAS and Au in the residue was not significantly different from 1.0.Modifications to the AR procedure such as prior attack by HCl or HF did not improve the recovery of Au in the three reference soils. However, reduction of sample size from 10 g to 1 g while maintaining the volume of AR at about 30 ml did increase results for Au. Furthermore, addition of HF in the attack on 1-g samples yielded results virtually identical to those obtained by INAA. It is thought that the poor extraction efficiency by AR is due to non-wetting of the larger sized sample, a lack of intimate, prolonged contact between the grains of the sample and the acid mixture and the presence of insoluble gangue surrounding Au particles. Constant agitation of the sample during evaporation with AR is desirable.The mean values obtained for Au in the soils by fire assay methods were not significantly different from the results by INAA (low by 14–19%); this was not the case for the two copper ore samples (low by 26%). This probably reflects the difficulties encountered in fire assay by high concentrations of Cu which hinder effective collection and separation of Au into the Pb button. However, the accuracy of the INAA method has not been established and is dependent upon measurement procedures and the degree of certainty associated with the Au values assumed for the reference materials employed for calibration. While estimation of precision does not present a problem, accuracy is difficult to assess in the absence of certified reference materials for Au at concentrations in the 10–300 ppb range. However, it is concluded that methods based upon AR dissolution can lead to low results, the magnitude being dependent upon the sample matrix and the mineralogical association of the Au present. 相似文献

Data- and knowledge-driven techniques are used to produce regional Au prospectivity maps of a portion of Melville Peninsula, Northern Canada using geophysical and geochemical data. These basic datasets typically exist for large portions of Canada's North and are suitable for a “greenfields” exploration programme. The data-driven method involves the use of the Random Forest (RF) supervised classifier, a relatively new technique that has recently been applied to mineral potential modelling while the knowledge-driven technique makes use of weighted-index overlay, commonly used in GIS spatial modelling studies. We use the location of known Au occurrences to train the RF classifier and calculate the signature of Au occurrences as a group from non-occurrences using the basic geoscience dataset. The RF classification outperformed the knowledge-based model with respect to prediction of the known Au occurrences. The geochemical data in general were more predictive of the known Au occurrences than the geophysical data. A data-driven approach such as RF for the production of regional Au prospectivity maps is recommended provided that a sufficient number of training areas (known Au occurrences) exist. 相似文献

Highly anomalous Au concentrations in calcrete were discovered in 1987 at the Bounty Gold Deposit, Western Australia. A strong correlation was noted between the Ca, Mg, Sr and Au in soil profiles which have not only attracted the interest of mineral explorers but also chemists, soil scientists, metallurgists and climatologists. Gold has been considered an inert element and so its strong association with the alkaline earth group of relatively mobile elements is both remarkable and intriguing. Despite widespread interest, there have been few published papers on the Au-calcrete phenomenon. Here, we present work conducted on calcareous soil samples from above the Bounty mineralisation in Western Australia, prior to mining.Using SXRF (synchrotron X-ray fluorescence) and XANES (micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure), we have shown for the first time the distribution of Au in calcrete and that it occurs in both particulate and ionic form. Much of the ionic Au associated with Br is found in a root tubule. The observations are consistent with an evapotranspiration model for the formation of Au in the calcrete; Au has been mobilised then precipitated as vadose water has been removed from the soil by trees and shrubs. While the association between Au and Ca is very strong in bulk sample analyses down the soil profile, other detailed analyses on sub-samples using wet chemical, LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry) and SXRF techniques show that it is not apparent at the sub-millimetre scale. This suggests that the Au and Ca are behaving similarly but independently and they do not (at the μm scale) co-precipitate with carbonate minerals.These results corroborate other studies that suggest biotic influences can affect the mobilisation and distribution of Au in surficial materials. Water-extractable Au in calcrete has been reported previously and the ionic Au described in this study likely represents that soluble component. The presence of easily solubilised Au in soils has been widely discussed and exploited for mineral exploration. 相似文献

The coupled solubility of Au(cr) and Pt(cr) has been measured in acidic chloride solutions at 350–450°С and 0.5 and 1 kb using the autoclave technique with determination of dissolved metal contents after quenching. The constants of the reaction combining the dominant species of Au and Pt in high-temperature hydrothermal fluids (K(Au–Pt)) have been determined: 2 Au(cr) + PtCl42- = Pt(cr) + 2AuCl2-; log K(Au–Pt) =–1.02 ± 0.25 (450°С, 1 kb), 0.09 ± 0.15 (450°С, 0.5 kb), and –1.31 ± 0.20 (350°С, 1 kb). It has been established that the factors affecting the Au/Pt concentration ratio in hydrothermal fluids and precipitated ores are temperature, pressure, redox potential, and sulfur fugacity. An increase in temperature results in an increase in the Au/Pt concentration ratio (up to ~550°С at P = 1 kb). A decrease in pressure and redox potential leads to enrichment of fluid in Au. An increase in sulfur fugacity in the stability field of Pt sulfides results in increase in the Au/Pt concentration ratio. Native platinum is replaced by sulfide mineral in low-temperature systems enriched in Pt (relative to Au). 相似文献

A routine method for the direct determination of Au and associated trace metals in sulfides has been developed for use with a low-flux nuclear reactor (SLOWPOKE II Reactor Facility, University of Toronto). Small samples (100–200 mg) are analysed simultaneously for Au, Ag, As, Sb, Mo, Co, Se, Cd, Fe, and Zn. Sulfides containing finely divided gold can be analysed with a high degree of precision and yield results which agree closely with commercial fire assay-atomic absorption analyses for Au. Favourable comparisons with other analytical techniques (flameless atomic absorption and emission spectrometry) are also indicated for Ag, As, and Sb. Neutron activation has the advantage of providing precise and accurate results for these elements without chemical separation or preconcentration. Analyses of 10 sulfide-bearing reference materials from CANMET, Ottawa are compared with published best values for selected trace metals including Au. 相似文献

The Lugokan ore cluster is located in the southeastern part of Transbaikalia within the Aga–Borzya structural–formational zone of the Mongol–Okhotsk orogenic belt. The 40Ar/39Ar dating of K-bearing minerals of syngenetic to ore parageneses has been carried out applying stepwise heating technique: it has been demonstrated that the earliest gold-ore mineral associations are Au–pyrite–arsenopyrite (163 ±1.9 Ma) and Au–chalcopyrite (160 ±2 Ma). The later parageneses encompass the Au–polymetallic (156.3 ± 1.8 Ma) and Au–Bi (155.9 ± 4.5 Ma) one. By their ages and position in the general scheme of the Late Jurassic magmatism of Eastern Transbaikalia, the Lugokan’s ore cluster gold-bearing mineral associations corresponds to the time of intrusion of the Shakhtama pluton (161 Ma) and the Porphyry Complex (159–155 Ma). 相似文献

An elegantly simple, aqua regia-based, ICP-MS analytical procedure is used to compare the trace element composition of density-separated alluvial native Au from seven stream silt samples with three samples of geographically-associated Au from a prospective ore deposit in central British Columbia. Not all of the alluvial Au could have come from the ore deposit based on present drainage. The silt sample Au, averaging four alluvial grains and totaling 12–250 μg per sample, generally yielded measurable concentrations for V, Fe, Cu, As, Pd, Ag, Sb, Pt and Bi. The bedrock Au samples represent the three dominant rock types in the showing. Their Au trace element compositions largely bracket the alluvial Au. Multidimensional scaling (exploratory statistics) shows that trace elements in the native Au form lithophile, chalcophile and siderophile groupings. This indicates that a small set of geochemical processes formed all the Au in one geologic environment. Previous work shows that Au from individual deposits has distinct assemblages of detectable elements. Given these observations and that detectable elements are the same in both the deposit and alluvial Au, and that concentrations in the former bracket those of the latter, it is concluded that the source of the alluvial Au has probably been identified. Apparently neither mineral inclusions nor weathering impaired fingerprinting of the Au. The simplicity of the approach indicates that this is a useful exploration tool for determining the bedrock source of alluvial Au. The study also shows that silt sample exploration in glaciated terrains must recognize that paleo-ice movement and paleo-stream directions can yield geographic distributions of alluvial Au that cannot be explained by present-day drainage patterns. Thus this simple analytical/exploration technique is potentially very useful to the exploration industry. 相似文献

Sewage sludges are potential targets for economic extraction of Au because of the documented Au content of sewage sludges worldwide, which are of the order of some ore deposits currently mined for Au. The sewage of Melbourne, Australia, was stockpiled in large, closed, lagoonal tanks from 1898 until 1980. Reeves, Plimer and Foster, 1999, have conducted, and published, an extensive and exhaustive study of the Werribee sewage reserves utilising RNAA, INAA, GFAAS, ICPMS, and FLAAS to determine 31 elements, including Au, Ag, Sb, As, Cd, Hg, Zn, Cu, and Pb. The study was initiated to determine Au, Ag and other metal variations in both space and time and to investigate the economics of chemical extraction of the precious metals. A total of 149 samples from over 50 hand-auger drillholes to a depth up to 4m were analysed from the stockpiles, with Au assays yielding remarkably consistent results. Average grades of 0.77 g/t Au and 18.8 g/t Ag have been documented for a measured resource of 770,000 m3. Laboratory-based extractive metallurgy of the Werribee sludges has demonstrated that Au, Ag, and Zn can be removed with relative ease by heap-leaching using modified conventional technology, albeit with prohibitive reagent consumption. The extraction of the precious metals also results in the variable removal of contaminant metals such as Cd, As, Sb, Hg and Cr which may render the sludges fit for sale as agricultural fertiliser, provided organic pollutants and pathogenic organisms are below governmental environmental protection limits. 相似文献

张八岭—管店地区位于皖东张八岭构造带北部,区内已发现多处金多金属矿点,但尚未取得显著突破。近年来,多维分形理论与地球化学勘查相结合的方法已被广泛应用于Au、Cu矿床的找矿勘查工作,其中S-A(能谱密度-累计面积)方法是一种建立在能谱空间上的分形滤波技术,能够利用傅里叶变换对物化探数据进行异常和背景分解。以张八岭—管店地区深部土壤Au元素为例,利用S-A方法对研究区深部土壤中Au元素地球化学场进行异常识别。结果显示,该方法能够有效分离地球化学背景,识别已知金铜矿点的矿致异常信息,在区内已知矿点以外识别出多个Au元素异常区域。研究成果可为进一步找矿勘探提供新的目标和方向。 相似文献

西成地区铅-锌矿、金矿硫铅同位素特征及成矿关系的研究 总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4
甘肃省西成地区分布有多种类型的铅-锌矿和金矿,已探明海底喷流型（SEDEX）铅-锌矿资源量超过1300×10^4t（金属量）。金矿主要分布于盆地中西部泥盆系厚层碎屑岩中．受控于韧性剪切带。对矿床中硫化物硫、铅同位素研究结果表明,西成铅-锌矿田北矿带的后期改造是在相对封闭的环境下实现的、而南矿带铅-锌矿则有部分外来物质的参与,但并未发生明显的分异,同时,两个矿带喷流（气）-沉积过程的不同,这也是导致硫同位素存在差异的重要原因。在印支期的成矿过程中金矿具有明显独立于铅-锌矿的地质特点与硫、铅同位素演化过程,硫主要源自区内的围岩,而铅同位素中则有较多放射性成因铅的加入。 相似文献
