Comprehensive Report on Amorphous Gold
Origins and Formation Amorphous gold is a distinctive form of gold mineralisation characterised by the presence of nanoscale gold particles that lack a well-defined crystalline structure. These particles exist in a disordered, non-crystalline, or colloidal state, often associated with amorphous silica gels or carbon-rich phases. Amorphous gold primarily forms in orogenic (lode) gold deposits and…

Invisible Gold and Platinum Group Elements in Sulphide Minerals: A Detailed Exploration of Their Occurrence and Impact on Gold Deposits
The mining industry is increasingly encountering challenges as the supply of easily accessible, high-grade gold deposits diminishes. Many of today’s economically viable deposits contain precious metals in forms that are difficult to detect and extract. Among these, “invisible” gold and platinum group elements (PGEs) are particularly problematic. These metals are not present as free particles…
