The technological mineralogy of a gold deposit located in North-Western province of Zambia was carried out by using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that gold was highly dispersed in gold-bearing minerals such as pyrite, …

Consequently, the gold has largely remained within the arsenopyrite, resulting in the refractory nature of orogenic gold deposits that are characterized by low-temperature metamorphism (Foster and Piper, 1993). Other orogenic lode gold deposits that have undergone only low-grade metamorphism can also be expected to be refractory.
