The Bendigo Gold fields are not just, after Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, the second most productive gold mining area in Australia, but also a mineral discovery that literally shaped a nation. Since 1851, approximately 25,000 oz (777 tonnes) of gold has been extracted from Bendigo, initially from alluvial gold and later from underground mining of the gold bearing quartz reefs.

The orogenic mineral system (Figure 2.7.1) unites a diverse group of mineral deposits that form during orogenesis, and include lode gold and Cobar type Cu Au Zn Pb Ag deposits. These deposits form in response to major orogenic events caused by accretion or changes in subduction direction or dip.
STEP 1 Choose/develop a mineral system approach. Mineral system approach is a general framework that is based on an understanding of all critical geological, physical and chemical processes that are required to develop economic deposits for a specific mineral system.

WA has a wide variety of mineral deposits, many of which are world class. The best known mineral systems include Archean orogenic gold (Blewett et al., 2010), komatiite associated nickel (Barnes and Fiorentini, 2012) and iron ore deposits in the ArcheanProterozoic Hamersley Basin (Taylor et al., 2001).
Tectonic settings of gold rich epigenetic mineral deposits. Epithermal veins and gold rich porphyry and skarn deposits, form in the shallow (< 5 km) . parts of both island and continental arcs in compressional through extensional regimes. The epithermal veins, as well as the sedimentary rock hosted type Carlin ores, also are emplaced in shallow

Ewers et al. 2002a) and the Australian Mineral Deposits Database (OZMIN; Ewers et al. 2002b). We treat gold occurrences as a single orogenic type deposit for the purposes of this analysis while recognizing that there may be a range of deposit styles. Such an assumption is valid because this deposit type is, by far, the most dominant gold

Gold has historically been a key strategic commodity, and the study of gold deposit formation has long been investigated. Debate on the genesis of so called orogenic gold deposits (>75% of gold recovered through history; Phillips, 2013), continues largely because it is difficult to reliably identify the source of gold.In this issue of Geology, Gaboury.
Coauthors Georges Beaudoin, Sheida Makvandi, Donald Grzela, Nelly Manglia (UL) PowerPoint presentation. Scheelite and tourmaline are two minerals associated with orogenic gold mineralization, but are also present in other types of deposits, such as skarns, porphyries and greisens.
Mesothermal gold deposits form half way up through the rise of the melt from the deep crust to the surface usually at a depth of less than 10 km but greater than 1 km. temperatures at these depths are generally somewhere between 450 degrees and 250 degrees Celsius. The term mesothermal veins is really a sack term, referring simply to the depth formation.
Because of this, it is suggested that the gold ores simply be classified as `orogenic' lode types, as was originally suggested by Bohlke (1982). A remaining problem is whether to classify many `intrusion related gold deposits' within this group of orogenic gold deposits.

The Nubian Shield region also has important Paleozoic Neogene strata, including significant flood basalt, that conceal large areas of the basement. The Shield contains hundreds of gold occurrences and evidence of a 5,500 year history of gold mining. The main deposit types are orogenic gold and gold associated with volcanogenic massive sulfides
