“…The occurrence and concentration of gold in the continental crust requires a combination of several geological processes, including specific tectonic settings, unique structural framework, and successive episodes of rock-fluid interaction (Groves et al 2003 and references therein). Orogenic-related (lode-type) deposits are established in accretionary and collisional orogenic systems, mainly in the late subduction stages, which are triggered by crustal shortening via compressional and transpressional/transcurrent regimes (Groves et al 2003, 2018, Goldfarb & Groves 2015. General geological aspects of these deposits comprehend association with trans-lithospheric faults, occurrence in terranes that experienced greenschist facies metamorphism, hydrothermal alteration, and a predominant quartz, carbonate, mica, chlorite, pyrite, scheelite, and tourmaline paragenesis (McCuaig & Kerrich 1998).…”
