Integration of geological and geochemical insights uncovers gold mineralization origins in active continental margins, suggesting new formation models.
We integrated geological, mineralogical and petrographic, geochemical and isotopic investigations of rocks of varying compositions from rapakivi-bearing active continental margin complexes in the southwestern and southeastern margins of the Siberian craton. The magmatic sources of these rocks have been identified, and we propose geodynamic formation models as well as a discussion of the nature of associating Au, Au–Sb, and Au–Bi mineralization.
