Bulletin 1930
This publication presents the descriptive and grade-tonnage models for gold-bearing skarn-type deposits. Two subtypes, gold-skarns and byproduct gold-skarns are distinguished on the basis of gold, silver, and base-metal grades. The regional geologic setting along with detailed local geologic characteristics, grade-tonnage data, and extensive reference Originally published in 1991, this report is presented here in |
