Mineralogical and geochemical constraints on gold enrichment in the Tchiquele E...
Kumoleha, A.; Nogueira, P.; Pimenta, P.; Marinho Reis, A. PaulaThis study investigates the Tchiquele gold deposit in south-ern Angola, a geologically prospective region with limited prior research despite its recognised mineral potential. By integrating geochemical, mineralogical, and metallographic analyses, the research aims to provide new insights into the metallogenetic evolution of the area, contributing to the broader understanding of hydrothermal gold systems in sub...
