Gossan Formation

Gossan Formation is a geological process denoting the oxidative weathering and secondary enrichment of sulfide minerals in an ore deposit, distinguished by the development of a iron-rich, residual cap composed predominantly of hydrated oxides and hydroxides of iron, often serving as a surface indicator of underlying mineralization.
