A study in the Prestea mesothermal vein gold deposit in the Birimian system of Ghana by Hammond and Shimazaki described the gold deposition that occurred from fluids with δ 18 O water, +9.6‰ to +13.9‰, and δD fluid inclusion, −29 to −65‰. This indicates that the crustal origin of the ore-forming fluid is characterized by a ...

The Ashanti belt, a world-renowned gold producing region in southwest Ghana, has received renewed attention in recent years.

The crystal plasticity and element mobility behaviour of the gold-bearing arsenopyrite during metamorphism (340° - 460° and 2 kbars) was investigated using quantitative electron ... The trade of gold in the Ashanti region of Ghana can be traced as far back as the 10th century AD.
