Multi-proxy geophysical delineation of structurally controlled hydrothermal copper mineralization: a case study from Wadi Nesyrin and Wadi Ager, Southwest Sinai, Egypt

General Geology and Integrated ASTER-Based Lineament and Hydrothermal Alteration Mapping of the Zoti Ore Field (Guria, Western Georgia)

The Zoti ore field in the Guria region of western Georgia, within the Lesser Caucasus metallogenic belt, hosts iron–gold–copper mineralization related to volcanic–sedimentary sequences and intrusive bodies. This study aims to delineate potential mineral anomalies and evaluate their structural controls using remote-sens...

Litho-tectonic and geomorphological controls on the hydrogeochemistry of selected springs in the upstream Nekor watershed, northern Morocco

Geochemical and Mineralogical Processes Controlling Gold Mineralization in the Ilesha-Ifewara Belt of Southwestern

This study presents a novel integration of tectonic discrimination diagrams and mineralogical characterization to investigate the geochemical and mineralogical controls on gold mineralization in soils derived from the Precambrian Pan-African Basement Complex of the Ilesha–Ifewara Belt, southwestern Nigeria. Fieldwork i...

Zircon geochronology and geochemical characteristics of quartz veins in the Guangning area, Yunkai Massif: implications for tectonic evolution and mineralization

The Guangning area, located in the northeastern margin of the Yunkai Massif, is an ideal site for investigating tectono-magmatic activities of the South China Block owing to the widespread exposure of quartz veins and ancient basement rocks. To unravel the Neoproterozoic basement evolution of the Yunkai Massif and it...

Investigation of gold mineralization along the Al Amar Fault Zone using integrated geophysical and remote sensing methods in the Saudi Arabian Shield

The study of gold mineralization along the Al Amar Fault Zone, Saudi Arabian Shield, Ar Rayn and Ad Dawadimi terranes is undertaken using an integrated multi-method approach. The research effort aims to improve geological mapping of lithology, structure, and hydrothermal alteration by integrating Landsat-8 multispectra...

Petrogenesis and Mineralization Potential of a Highly Evolved Post-Collisional Granitic Suite: Insights from the Pan-African Igbeti Granitoids, Southwestern Nigeria

The Pan-African granitoids of the Nigerian Basement Complex are known for their metallogenic potential, yet many suites remain poorly characterized. This study presents an integrated geochemical investigation of the granitic rocks from the Igbeti area. The suite comprises porphyritic quartz monzonite, granite, and sili...
