Gold solubility was measured in sulfur-saturated aqueous solutions containing small amounts of dissolved NaHS and NaOH or HCl at 100-150°C and 100 bars. Addition of NaOH and HCl to sulfur-saturated solutions creates systematic variation in pH and f o 2 and changes the relative abundances of dissolved sulfur species. Strong correlations between gold solubility and the abundances of aqueous polysulfide species suggest that Au-polysulfides (AuS n S - where n = 2-7) are the dominant Au-bearing complexes in sulfur-saturated solutions. A preliminary assessment of our data suggests that Au-polysulfide species likely dominate the transport and deposition of Au at temperatures from 100-150°C in a broad region surrounding the sulfur saturation field in pH- f o 2 - f s 2 space. Although Au(HS) - 2 complexes clearly dominate gold solubility in sulfide solutions significantly undersaturated with respect to sulfur, our results suggest that the highest gold solubilities should occur in solutions coexisting with elemental sulfur.
