ABSTRACT
The objective of this work is establishing a typological analysis of orogenic gold deposits in the
venezuelan Guayana, which can be applied in the exploration of that metal. It was made the
collection and analysis of the literature of works on orogenic gold deposits known worldwide and
the Guayana region. The gold deposits in the world are divided into six models. For the analysis of
metallotect lithological, were used structural, geochemical, geophysical information and geological
maps at 1:250.000. It was confirmed the existence of the auriferous districts: El Callao, El Manteco,
Km 88, Guariche-Parapapoy, Camorra, El Dorado, Botanamo, Marwani and Bochinche, with the
following types of deposits: orogenic gold deposits with a low sulphure and carbonate content,
hipothermal and mesothermal, veins intrused in the shear zone, gold porphidy deposits and copper-
gold porphidies and deposits related to a massive volcanic sulphures. Lithological domains
correspond to the volcano-sedimentary sequence of The Green Stone Belts of Pastora Geological
Province. The structural domains have a preferential orientation NE-SW, NS,NW-SE, EW. The
area of Chicanan-Uroy-Chivao is considered an auriferous District other than those already
established for the region.
Key words
: Auriferous district, mesothermal, orogenic, ore deposit, shear zone.
