“…The mineralized shear zones in the study area are part of the high-angle convergent wrench structure, namely Wadi Kharit-Wadi Hodein zone (e.g., Abdeen et al, 2008;de Wall et al, 2001;Greiling et al, 1994;Zoheir, 2011). Spatial association of the investigated auriferous shear zones and regional convergent structures is typical for the orogenic, lodegold setting (e.g., Goldfarb et al, 2001;Huston et al, 2007).…”
