Gold mineralization is predominantly hosted within quartz and\/or carbonate veins and veinlets emplaced along late Neoproterozoic structural features, including megashears, fractures, stockwork systems, brecciated and mylonitized zones, hinges of thrust- and shear-related folds, and tectonic contacts. The Atalla-Sid Shear Belt (ASSB) is one of the eye-catching gold-bearing megashears in the ENS encompassing two historic gold mines (Atalla and Sid). In this work, detailed field\/structural investigation was carried out and integrated with paleostress and fracture analysis to establish a tectonic model and to provide a template for the ENS analogous terranes. Four paleostress tensor stages are indicated in this zone. Stage 1 involves transpressional regime which with a prolate shape of the stress ellipsoid (R\u2032= 1.5) and NNW-SSE SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    (SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    = N153\ufeff\u00b0E) coinciding with the Najd Shear orogeny. Stage 2 marks a switch to transtensional regime with a oblate shape of the stress ellipsoid (R\u2032= 1.5) and ENE-WSW SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    (SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    = N074E). Stage 2 played a significant role in controlling gold distribution. The transition between both stages is likely triggered by crustal relaxation and a change in the far-field stress orientation. Stage 3 represents extensional regime (R\u2032= 0.5) and ENE-WSW Sh\n                    <jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>\n                    (Sh\n                    <jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>\n                    = N064\ufeff\u00b0E); and Stage 4 indicated a compression regime (R\u2032= 2.5) and NE-WSW SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    (SH\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    = N039\ufeff\u00b0E). Stages 3 and 4 represent the final phases of the Neoproterozoic Orogeny that played a role in the final structural geometry of the belt without a noticeable role in gold mineralization. Results obtained from the analysis of fault pattern data and processing of photographic fracture networks demonstrate three-abundance orientations (NW, NE and E) of fracture population in Atalla area, and two orientations (NW and NE) in Sid area. It is recommended to consider stage 2-related shearing in further exploration programs in the ENS.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-026-60088-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]],"date-time":"2026-08-25T15:35:29Z","timestamp":1787672129000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Structural controls on gold deposits in the Egyptian Nubian Shield: insights from the Atalla-Sid Shear Belt, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zakaria","family":"Hamimi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Abd","family":"El Monsef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"El Sundoly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashraf S.","family":"Abdelmaksoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahmoud K.","family":"Alawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"60088_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Boyle, R.
