Popis: Gold can be associated with hydrocarbons in hydrothermal gold deposits, but the near-absence of experimental data on gold-hydrocarbon interactions at hydrothermal conditions prevents a quantitative interpretation of this relationship. In this study, we investigate the ability of liquid hydrocarbons to act as gold-transporting ore fluids using experiments on the partitioning of gold between brine (10 wt% NaCl) and 1-dodecanethiol (DDT). Experiments were conducted at 105 °C and 150 °C and
