Description :
In this paper, the gold behavior in laterites was compared under a tropical contrasted climate in Banankoro, South Mali, and under an equatorial climate in Yaou, French Guiana. Gold distribution was studied in detail in terms of pedologic horizons, and mass balance calculations of gold were applied to both sites in order to evaluate the extent of gold mobility for each type of weathered profile.
