I am interested in understanding the location of the largest Listvenitic type of gold deposit in the world. Could you kindly provide information or direct me to resources that can help me identify the primary location of such deposits?
Hi!
The lode gold deposits in listvenites are known in the suture zones
of Russia, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Ireland, Canada and other countries
(e.g., Buisson and Leblanc, 1986; Aydal, 1990; Halls and Zhao,
1995). The largest deposits are situated in the Barramiya–Um–Salatit
ophyolite belt in Egypt,where they have been exploited for a fewthousand
years since the Pharaoh Period. The El Barramia and some other
deposits are of economic interest (Zoheir and Lehmann, 2011).
Several large listvenite-related gold deposits with ore reserves of
1–2 Mt and Au grades of 3–5 g/t are known in the Atlin ore district,
Canada (Ash and Arksey, 1990; Hansen et al., 2005).
