Record 1 2006-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geochemistry
CONT

Not fully understood is the role of chemical transport in the formation of placers and the proportion of gold that it contributes.

CONT

Gold enrichment in the lower part of the White Channel gravels of the Klondike district, Yukon, may have resulted from chemical transport related to argillically altered sediment and bedrock...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géochimie
CONT

[...] une certaine aptitude de l'or à la migration chimique semble bien avoir été prouvée dans les placers [...] Bien que limitée, elle semble aussi avoir eu lieu parfois dans les chapeaux oxydés, mais l'enrichissement en or s'explique surtout par le lessivage des éléments plus solubles.

Record 2 2006-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geochemistry
CONT

... zones of seafloor-oxidized sulphides... are prospective areas for gold enrichment, through a scavenging and redeposition mechanism.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géochimie
CONT

[...] les zones de sulfures du fond océanique qui ont fait l'objet d'une oxydation [...] sont des secteurs potentiels d'enrichissement en or, grâce à un processus similaire de dissolution et de reprécipitation.

Record 3 2005-11-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gold and Silver Mining
  • Geochemistry
CONT

... gold enrichment is a consequence of the efficient precipitation of gold from cooling hydrothermal fluids and the continuous hydrothermal reworking of gold into high-grade zones within the sulphide deposits.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mines d'or et d'argent
  • Géochimie
CONT

[...] l'enrichissement en or serait une conséquence de la précipitation efficace de l'or à partir des fluides hydrothermaux en cours de refroidissement et d'un remaniement continu de l'or par les fluides hydrothermaux, formant ainsi des zones fortement enrichies en or à l'intérieur des amas de sulfures.

Record 4 2004-10-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Translation (General)
  • Various Metal Ores
OBS

Due to the inherent exhalative nature of the iron formations, there is a possibility that some deposits in this category owe their gold enrichment to prevein processes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traduction (Généralités)
  • Minerais divers (Mines métalliques)
OBS

En raison de la nature exhalative inhérente des formations de fer, il est possible que l'enrichissement en or de certains gisements de cette catégorie soit attribuable à des processus antérieurs à la formation des filons.
