ABSTRACT<\/strong>
\nA magnetotelluric (MT) study across the Red Lake greenstone belt of the western Superior craton, Canada, images a 50-km-long north-dipping conductor (<20 \u03a9\u00b7m) at 20\u201325 km
\ndepth and subvertical conductors spatially correlated with crustal-scale shear zones and
\nlarge orogenic gold deposits. The conductors are interpreted to be the conductivity signature
\nof the deep crustal source of the auriferous fluids and pathways of the orogenic gold system. The geophysical results, supported by existing geochemical and fluid inclusion studies,
\nsuggest that the Au- and CO2-rich fluids responsible for gold mineralization were released
\nby devolatilization of supracrustal rocks underthrust to mid- to lower-crustal levels during
\nsubduction. This MT study links shallow gold mineralization to a deep crustal source region,
\ndemonstrating the connection between a crustal suture zone and the formation of orogenic
\ngold deposits in an Archean greenstone belt.<\/p>\n
