Controls on lode gold mineralization, Romite deposit, South Eastern Desert, Egypt
Field and remote sensing studies reveal that Au-bearing quartz ± carbonate lodes in Romite deposit, in the extreme South Eastern Desert of Egypt, are controlled by NNE-striking shear zones that splay from the ca. 660–550 Ma Hamisana Zone.
