Abstract

This study is a compilation work about the economic mineralization and types of deposition of gold, standing as privilaged metal among the other precious metals. Classification is made according to the mode of process where; brief considerations were accumulation and mineralization and named as placers and hydrothermals respectively. The classification is quite similar to Lindgren's (1933). Placer deposits, considering the age of formation, are subgrouped into two as young and fossil, whereas hydrothermal deposits, considering the temperature-pressure and depth of formation, are subgrouped into three and studied as epithermals and hypolhermals.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, değerli melaller arasında ayrı bir yeri olan altının, ekonomik yataklanma tiplerinin anlatıldığı bir derleme çalışmasıdır. Plaser ve hidrotermal adı altında iki grupta toplanan yalak tipleri, Lindgren (1933) sınıflamasına benzer sınıflara ayrılmıştır. Plaser yataklar, genç ve fosil olmak üzere yaş göz önüne alınarak iki alt grupta, hidrotermal yalaklar ise; epitermal, mesotermal ve hipotermal olmak üzere, oluşum sıcaklığı-basınç ve derinlik ortamlarına göre, üç alt grupta incelenmiştir.
