Abstract
Electron probe microanalysis of arsenopyrites of the gold ore of weste rn and middle auriferous zones of the Gadag gold field has revealed th at it contains 'invisible' gold to the extent of 0.23 to 0.97 wt% (av. 0.63 wt%). This invisible gold appears to be present partly in solid solution and partly as ultrafine submicroscopic inclusions.
