This area is found in the Orogrande shear zone is a significant regional structure and also the conduit for multiple ...

In geology, a placer deposit or placer is an accumulation of valuable minerals formed by gravity separation during sedimentary processes. The name is from the Spanish word placer, meaning "alluvial sand". Placer mining is an important source of gold, and was the main technique used in the early years of many gold rushes, including the California Gold Rush.

In northern Pakistan, placer gold deposits are recovered by gold panning and other basic methods. This has been done here for centuries. Gold exploration and mineral assessment project of Pakistan assisted by the Australian Government, revealed many rivers that contain detectable gold that have good potential for future exploration.

Technically a placer deposit is the general term for a mineral deposit formed by the concentration of moving particles by gravity. Alluvial is the name for placer deposits formed by water action in a stream or river. For most people, it's all about alluvial deposits, or to be blunt, the allure of gold, with the odd precious and semi-precious ...

Man most likely first obtained gold from placer deposits, more than 6,000 years ago. Placers account for more than two-thirds of the total world gold supply, and roughly half of that mined in the States of California, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.Placer deposits result from weathering and release of gold from lode deposits, transportation of the gold, and concentration of the gold dominantly in ...

Various types of gold deposits are reported from Pakistan including porphyry copper and gold deposits at Rekodeq, the Awireth-Krinj gold deposits associated with sulphide mineralization in …

Gold has a high unit value, so that the amounts of gold in a cubic metre of gravel that is economic may be as low as 1 part per one hundred million. Gold distributions are often extremely erratic. The combination of these problems results in a situation where the sampling of …

deposits in Kund, Alladher and Beka are considered highly economical for the commercial exploration of placer gold. Overall, the HMC derived from silt, sand, gravels and cobbles along Indus river indicated potential for placer gold that can be utilized for extraction of gold at commercial scale.

gold-bearing veins and skarns in West Zabul and Western Ghazni Provinces are possibly related to Cretaceous porphyry copper deposits, which together have a measured resource of 1,780 kg of gold. Placer gold deposits are present in northern Takhar Province and in Ghazni Province and together have a measured resource of 918 kg.

Australia, Cambodia, Laos, and Indonesia contain significant world resources.
