Abstract
This paper describes the results of a study of gold from placer El Monigote, located in central Argentina in the north-east of the province of San Luis. Gold from this placer deposit has weak roundness, lowpower, high-grade rims and a grade of gold (close to 700 ‰) in the center of the gold particles. This indicates a single gold source which is located in a few kilometers north-west of the placer deposit El Monigote, which is likely related to the volcanic belt.
