Precious metal deposits are often associated with metamorphis and igneous intrusive rocks such as granite and diorite.
I refer you to some articles that Chris Ralph wrote for prospecting and mining journals, dates for the 2nd part of the article is March 2006 you may be able to order it from ICMJ's site and see if you can get that back issue.
