The morphology and mineral chemistry of gold and associated sulphides at Sheba, Fairview, and New Consort gold mines in the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB) identify two main types of mineralization. The first type occurs associated with sulphides (mainly pyrite), either as inclusions (10–30 μm) or as sub-microscopic gold.

Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country whose colonisation by Europeans was a direct result of its perceived rich and wide variety of gold deposits.

The gold deposits of the Beardmore-Geraldton belt are examples of the orogenic, greenstone-hosted lode gold deposit class 2. They formed at mesothermal levels in the crust, broadly 5-10 kilometers below surface, with their genesis being related to the regional tectonism that intensely folded the volcano-sedimentary rock package.
