Paleoplacers, like placers, may be formed wherever vigorous water or air currents have sorted heavy and light, large and small, mineral and rock clasts resulting in the formation of lenses or layers containing heavy minerals ... and greater abundance than elsewhere in a clastic sedimentary formation. The term is generally applied only to those heavy mineral accumulations that are notably enriched in particular commodities - e.g. gold paleoplacers - and implies a provenance containing special primary sources of these commodities in addition to sources of the more common heavy minerals. 5, record 1, English, - paleoplacer

Depending on the age and the state of their consolidation, the deposits are empirically classified as paleoplacers if they formed in ancient coarse siliciclastic rocks, or as modern placers if they are a part of Pliocene to Recent unconsolidated clastic sediments. 3, record 1, English, - paleoplacer

Le magma silicaté est l'un des fluides qui transportent les métaux. Une fois les éléments métalliques proches de la surface, le relais est pris par d'autres fluides, tels que l'eau s'échappant des magmas, la vapeur, l'eau de mer et celle des nappes phréatiques. [...] À mesure que la composition des fluides varie, leur capacité de transport des métaux diminue.
