Stratabound gold deposits in Archean banded iron
Stratabound mineral deposits, particularly of gold and associated sulfides, are widely distributed within beds of banded iron-formation in the Archean greenstone belts of Rhodesia. The occurrence of gold at the Vubachikwe gold mine has been studied together with samples of mineralized iron-formation from eight other deposits.
