The application of geophysics to gold exploration in
2018-10-11 only a very small 'amount of the gold is produced from rocks which do not belong to this system. It is therefore appropriate that the major effort in the exploration for gold in South Africa should be orientated towards locating areas underlain by gold-bearing conglomerates of the Witwatersrand System. Geophysics has an important role in this search

Gold exploration in greenstone belts by use of Landsat TM ...
These zones are thus potential areas of gold mineralization in granite and greenstone terranes. We consider several techniques for the detection and enhancement of ‘clay’ anomalies in TM imagery and use them to the detect hydrothermal alteration zones in a TM image of the Murchison greenstone belt, Northern Transvaal, South Africa.
