Publications Webinar: Geology of the World’s Major Gold Deposits and Provinces

Gold is unique because it is the only economically important metal or major by-product from at least 11 different deposit types. The metal itself accounts for roughly half of the world’s nonferrous exploration activity, equating to corporate expenditure on the order of US$5 billion annually. It also holds a unique and fascinating position as a commodity that demands a great deal of collaborative research and exploration attention. For these reasons, the previous SEG Publications Board chairs, Stuart Simmons and Rich Goldfarb, promoted the idea of a volume focused on basic geologic descriptions of the world’s major gold deposits and provinces as a major contribution to the Society’s 100th-anniversary celebrations. This accompanying webinar on SEG Special Publication, No. 23, will further highlight these remarkable deposit types over the course of a one-hour mini-lecture series, focusing on the following deposit types: - Introduction (Sillitoe) - Epithermal and porphyry deposits (Simmons) - Carlin (Robert) -
