  abstract = {{T}he {N}assara-{A}u prospect is located in the {B}irimian {B}oromo {G}reenstone {B}elt in southwestern {B}urkina {F}aso. {I}t is part of a larger mineralized field that includes the {C}u-{A}u porphyry system of {G}aoua, to the north. {A}t {N}assara, mineralization occurs within the {W}est {B}ade {S}hear {Z}one that follows the contact between volcanic rocks (basalt and andesite) and volcano-sediments (pyroclastics and black shales) at the southern termination of the {B}oromo {B}elt. {G}old is associated with pyrite and other {F}e-bearing minerals that occur disseminated within the sheared volcanic and volcano-sedimentary rocks. {I}n particular, highest grades are distinguished in alteration halos of small quartz-albite-ankerite veins that form networks along the shear zone. {H}ere, pyrites are marked by {A}s-poor and {A}s-rich growth zones, the latter containing gold inclusions. {G}old mineralization formed during {D}2({NA}). {S}ubsequent shear fractures related to {D}3({NA}) related are devoid of gold. {N}assara is a classical orogenic gold occurrence where gold is associated to disseminated pyrite along quartz veins.},
