Our 100% owned Reliance Gold (antimony) deposit discovery is an ‘Epizonal’ Orogenic gold (antimony) system within a compressional structural setting - but what is an Orogenic gold system?
Orogenic gold deposits represent more than 75% of the current and historic gold deposits in the world.
Regional complex structural domains typically control orogenic gold mineralization. These domains are the result of continental collision and mountain building (‘Orogeny’), and hence the gold-deposit classification.
Gold bearing fluids, likely of metamorphic origin, precipitate in the host structures at an upper-crustal levels between 3 and up to 20 km depth below surface resulting in gold-mineralized zones over this vertical extent.
‘Epizonal’ Orogenic gold deposits are those orogenic deposits formed at the shallowest level of deposition (less than 3 km depth) or a lower pressure/temperature regime and are typically associated with brittle deformation, breccias and associated antimony-bearing minerals.
