Abstract
Data from regional- and mine-scale mapping, structural, geochemical and fluid inclusion studies reveal a synkinematic genesis of gold in convergent wrench structures that cut the Neoproterozoic greenstone belt in the south Eastern Desert of Egypt. Au-quartz lodes in the Wadi El Beida–Wadi Khashab area are associated with NNW-trending shear zones in pervasively silicified, ferruginated volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks, or along steeply dipping thrust segments bounding allochthonous ophiolitic blocks. Development of themin
