Abstract

The characterization of gold is an international project like the case of gold from Guyana, in June 2013, launched by the WWF and carried out by the BRGM whose purpose was a “service of sampling and physico-chemical characterization and mineralogy of gold” (Auge, T et al. 2015). Inspired by this project, this article aims to characterize the specific signature of Miarinavaratra-Fandriana gold. The methodology applied is the use of scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the analysis of micro-inclusions in gold grains. The gold particles in this deposit are accompanied by the following micro inclusions, including oxygen (O) with an average content of 42.61%; aluminum (Al) 5.44%; silicon (Si) 4.84%; titanium (Ti) 11.93%; vanadium (V) 0.23%; iron (Fe) 1.97%; magnesium (Mg) 0.43%; phosphorus; (P) 0.10%; and chromium (Cr) 0.06%.
