NANOGOLD IN THE NONI DEPOSIT

Abstract

The abundance and diversity of genetic types of gold concentrations have stimulated constant interest in the comprehensive investigation of gold, gold–silver, and complex (multicomponent) deposits. The bulk contents of noble metals used in geochemistry do not provide information concerning their natural paragenetic associations, occurrence modes, relationships with host minerals, and genesis. As is known, the latter is governed by specific conditions of natural systems. In the majority of well-known large and unique deposits, native and mineral forms of gold are found mainly as submicroscopic segregations. Therefore, elucidation and study of geochemical criteria of the origin of specific natural phenomena is an essential issue.
