Is it true that gold deposits in the Himalayas formed through hydrothermal fluid circulation driven by crustal thickening?
Yes. Scientific studies and geological literature support the claim that gold deposits in the Himalayas formed through hydrothermal and metamorphic fluid processes associated with orogenic crustal deformation and thickening.
