Fluid pressure–dominated orogenic gold mineralization under low differential stress: case of the Yaouré gold camp, Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa

Multi-Scale Approach for Gold Targeting in Côte d’Ivoire Paleoproterozoic Rocks

“…These rocks are known throughout the world to contain this type of mineralization [1] [2] [3]. Milési et al (1989) [4] defined 7 types of gold mineralization typical of this geological context: 1) mineralization hosted in tourmalinized turbidites Loulo in Mali, [5]; 2) disseminated sulphide mineralization hosted in volcanic or plutonic rocks Yaouré in Côte d'Ivoire, [2], Syama in Mali [6]; 3) gold-bearing conglomerates Tarkwa district in Ghana [7]; 4) discordant arsenopyrite mineralization, Ashanti in Ghana [8] 5) discordant quartz mineralization with native gold and sulphides: polymetallic deposits (Poura in Burkina-Faso, Kalana in Mali, Sabodala in Senegal, 6) alluvial and eluvial placers and 7) lateritic deposits (Ity in Côte d'Ivoire).…”

New lithostructural map of the Doropo region, northeast Côte d'Ivoire: Insight from structural and aeromagnetic data

“…This region appears promising for mineral prospects, with the current presence of several exploration companies (e.g., Ampella-Centamin Co). Based on this mining interest, detailed geological studies have become a necessity, as most mineral deposits (e.g., gold) are structurally controlled (Mériaud et al, 2019;Murray et al, 2019;Tourigny et al, 2019). Processing (horizontal derivatives, upward continuations and 3D Euler deconvolution, etc.)…”
