 Gold deposits in cooling magma primarily in regions where the magma undergoes fracturing and cooling, allowing mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids to migrate and precipitate gold in specific settings. Here’s how and where this process typically occurs: ### 1. **Hydrothermal Fluid Formation**    As magma cools, volatile components like water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and other dissolved gases concentrate in the remaining melt. These volatiles form hydrothermal fluids that are rich in metals, including gold, as well as sulfur and other elements that help transport gold. These fluids are critical in concentrating and depositing gold. ### 2. **Separation and Movement of Hydrothermal Fluids**    During the later stages of cooling, the pressure within the magma body may cause fracturing in the surrounding rocks. The hydrothermal fluids, now carrying dissolved gold and other metals, are forced out of the magma and move through these fractures. Gold in the fluid is transpo...

  Speech for ICEIL 2024: Leveraging Emerging Technologies for a Self-Reliant Nation by Ritesh Arya Good morning, distinguished speakers, Prof. Charandeep, esteemed guests, colleagues, and friends. I am truly honored to be here today at the International Conference on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Leadership. I would like to thank the organizers for bringing us together to discuss such a critical topic: 'Leveraging Emerging Technologies for a Self-Reliant Nation.' However, I would just like to add one important element: the integration of traditional wisdom for sustainable development. In today’s rapidly changing world , the ability to harness science and technology is crucial not only for economic growth but also for building a resilient and self-reliant nation. Emerging technologies offer us solutions that were previously unimaginable, enabling us to address challenges in energy, water resources, climate change, and beyond. But sometimes, in our excitement to adopt new ...

  My only encounter with Khuswant Singh ji --- The only time I had the opportunity to meet Khushwant Singh was during my search for fossils in 1987 or 88 when I was a bachelor student in the Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS) in Geology at Punjab University, Chandigarh. I was influenced by the discovery of a fossil leaf from Kasauli by Medlicott and would spend hours hunting for fossils in and around Kasauli. Fossil collection and their preservation became my passion. Unfortunately, the illegal mining of sandstone had resulted in the destruction of these valuable relics. I felt compelled to share their story with him and explain why we must protect and preserve such treasures. I believed that if Khushwant Singh wrote about them, it could truly make a difference in raising awareness for their preservation. On the day of my visit, I was in the same locality where Medlicott had discovered fossils back in 1864, a location near Khushwant Singh's home. It seemed only fitting to seek him o...

  With Dr. V.C. Thakur, Wadia, and other Indian delegates at the International Geological Congress, Beijing, China, 1996. (Note: My badge says 'Prof. Ashok Sahni'—I was a student at the time and had no scholarship. To avoid registration fees, I used his name as he had already paid but wasn't attending.) My presentation focused on a conceptual model to explain the occurrence and movement of groundwater across the entire Hindu-Kush Himalayas. I had coined the term 'Hydrostratigraphic Zonation,' and the session was chaired by John E. Moore, President of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH). During my talk, I confidently stated that groundwater could be provided at any peak below 8,848 meters, provided the geological conditions were right. Moore, slightly uneasy, referred to the work of U.S. hydrogeologists working in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I pointed out a discrepancy in the hydrogeological cycle on the title cover of their report, which made him vi...
