Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, some countries and regions, including the United States, Europe, and China, have formulated several strategies, plans, or policies focusing on minerals, indicating the importance of mineral resource security for all countries. With the acceleration of global integration and the rapid development of high-tech industries, seizing the economic and technological heights has become a competitive goal for countries worldwide. The connotation of strategic minerals has gradually shifted from meeting the material wartime needs to the needs of economic development and high-tech industry development.
Gold is one of the most important economic and strategic mineral resources in the world, which is also rather scarce. In recent years, with the rapid growth of global heavy and light industries, both the importance and usage of gold resources have significantly increased. However, due to insufficient investment in related geological exploration works and the meteoric development of the economy and society, the global gold resources are currently severely deficient. Considering the important strategic value of gold mining, there is a dire need to strengthen research on metallogenic mechanism of gold deposit.
Given this context, this Special Issue aims to highlight research on ore genesis of various types of gold deposits and regional metallogeny of gold metallogenic belt in the world., e.g., orogenic gold deposit, epithermal gold deposit, porphyry-skarn gold deposit, intrusion-related gold deposit, regional metallogeny of important metallogenic belt (e.g., Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Tethys Orogenic Belt, and American Cordillera Orogenic Belt) and other issues related to global gold mineralization. We will accept submissions of both original research and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Resources is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
