Western Region Gold Deposits

Project status is complete. Please check the project list for currently active projects

Products:

The project is scheduled for completion in September 2001. A series of papers summarizing major scientific results of the project are being written for inclusion in a special issue of Economic Geology devoted to the metallogeny of gold deposits in northern Nevada that is planned for publication in 2002 . Many other maps and papers also are planned for completion. Numerous papers, maps, and abstracts have been published during the first five years of the project (see below). U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-338 contains 23 papers that summarize the preliminary results of the project.
