Abstract:
Thirty years ago, Wall (1990) proposed the name ‘Thermal Aureole Gold (TAG)’ for a distinctive class of plutonrelated gold deposits (now more commonly known as Intrusion-related Gold (IRG)). Initially based on the Pine Creek, Tanami and Paterson Provinces, Wall (2005) later included significant deposits such as Murantau, Obuasi, Campbell-Red Lake, Fort Knox, and Pogo. Revisiting the Pine Creek, Tanami and Telfer areas, a specific type of granite is spatially associated with these Au-dominant deposits.
