Abstract
The gold mineral ocurrences in California and Vetas have been known since the colonial period. There are publications describing the veins, the mineral associations and the results of chemical analysis for gold, silver and severa! other metals. There are also sorne hypothesis about the ore genesis. There are new data and concepts which permit a different approach to the genesis of the mineralizations and about their absolute and relative geochronology.
