    Abstract

    The PhD project investigated the role of carbonaceous material in the formation of Macraes orogenic gold deposits. It provided the first evidence that in-situ carbonaceous material directly contributes to Au incorporation into polyframboids which may provide the source of Au for the Macraes gold deposit; that carbonaceous material in mineralized rocks of gold deposit is most likely hydrothermally deposited and contributes to Au precipitation indirectly; and that dodecanethiol may transport Au in hydrothermal systems.
