Gold deposits of the Lesser Caucasus: products of successive Mesozoic and Cenozoic geodynamic settings

Presented at20-23 August 2017
Publication date2017
Abstract

Gold deposits were formed during two different geodynamic evolution stages of the Lesser Caucasus, starting with Mesozoic arc construction along the Eurasian margin, and followed by Cenozoic subduction-related to post-collision magmatism and tectonics during final Arabia- Eurasia convergence and accretion. Gold deposits are of the low-, and intermediate- to high-sulfidation type, with the latter ones being associated with porphyry deposits. Some deposits could be analogous to transitional VMS-epithermal systems in the Late Cretaceous Bolnisi district and during nascent Jurassic arc evolution along the Eurasian margin, but require further investigation.
