Abstract
- The Palaeoproterozoic eastern Mahakoshal belt of Central India Tectonic Zone (CITZ) is known for gold occurrences. Gold occurs predominantly in quartz veins and quartz-carbonate veins. It is associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite mineral assemblages. The secondary alteration products such as 'scorodite' and 'mansfieldite' are also associated with gold mineralisation. Recent investigations carried out in Parsoi area, have indicated the association of gold with bismuth, bismuthinite and telluride. This is the first record of bismuth from the Mahakoshal belt. The studies of the bismuth tellurides contribute to the assessment and evaluation of concentrations of gold resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
