The Awak Mas gold deposits are situated in the Latimojong Metamorphic Complex, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Total estimated gold contents equals to 47.3 Mt at 1.4 ppm Au. Awak Mas is an orogenic gold deposit hosted by pumpellyite to greenschist facies metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks.

The deposits contain low amounts of fine-grained disseminated sulphide. Gold is usually associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite-tennantite (arsenopyrite is absent). Accessory minerals include magnetite, hematite, covellite, and bornite, which are associated with quartz veins, silicification and brecciation zones. The alteration assemblage is characterised by the presence of albite, quartz, calcite, chlorite, epidote, zoisite, and sericite.
