Applying Discriminant Analysis to Separate the Alteration Zones Within the Sungun Porphyry Copper Deposit

Application of Discriminant Analysis for Alteration Separation; Sungun Copper Deposit, East Azerbaijan, Iran

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit that intruded Eocene volcano sedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks hosted by a diorite/granodioritic to quartzmonzonitic stock. Copper mineralization is essentially associated more with potassic and less phyllic alteration. Therefore separating these two kinds of alteration is so important. In this paper, by applying the discriminant, it was attempt to se...

Calculation of Mass Transfer and Element Mobility During the Hydrothermal Alteration in the Sungun PORPHYRY Copper Deposit Iran

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit is located in northwestern Iran and is associated with diorite/granodiorite to quartz-monzonite of Miocene age, which intruded Eocene volcanosedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Copper mineralization was accompanied by both potassic and phyllic alteration. Three main mineralization related alteration episodes (potassic, transition, and phyllic alteratio...

Geology and Alteration at the Mount Milligan Gold-copper Porphyry Deposit, Central British Columbia

The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...
