Intrusion–Related Vein Gold Deposits: Types, Tectono‐Magmatic Settings and Difficulties of Distinction from Orogenic Gold Deposits

Abstract: A spectrum of intrusion‐related vein gold deposits is recognized. Representative examples are described of the following geochemical associations: Au‐Fe oxide–Cu, Au–Cu–Mo–Zn, Au–As–Pb–Zn–Cu, Au–Te–Pb–Zn–Cu and Au–As–Bi–Sb. The associated intrusions range from small outcropping stocks to complex batholiths.
