Why large porphyry Cu deposits like high Sr/Y magmas?
Porphyry systems supply most copper and significant gold to our economy. Recent studies indicate that they are frequently associated with high Sr/Y magmatic rocks, but the meaning of this association remains elusive. Understanding the association between high Sr/Y magmatic rocks and porphyry-type deposits is essential to develop genetic models that can be used for exploration purposes. Here we ...
متن کاملMelt inclusions from Marianas arc lavas: implications for the composition and formation of island arc magmas
We have measured the major and trace element compositions of a suite of olivine-hosted melt inclusions in basaltic lavas from the islands of Agrigan and Guguan (one sample each) from the Mariana arc, part of the larger Izu–Bonin–Mariana system. The two lava samples examined show distinctly different chemical signatures that are considered to represent the dominance of sediment melt (Agrigan) or...
متن کاملThe Exploration Significance of Ag/Au, Au/Cu, Cu/Mo, (Ag×Au)/(Cu×Mo) Ratios, Supra-ore and Sub-ore Halos and Fluid Inclusions in Porphyry Deposits: A Review
This paper documents the exploration significance of Ag/Au, Au/Cu, Cu/Mo and (Ag×Au)/Cu×Mo) ratios of the supra-ore and sub-ore halos versus fluid inclusion evolution for 24 Cu, 6 Cu- Mo and 10 Cu-Au porphyry deposits worldwide. The ratios are based only on the economic and mineralized hypogene alteration zones. The results indicate that (Ag×Au)/(Cu×Mo), Au/Cu and Cu/Mo ratios increase with dec...
متن کاملPorphyry Cu-Au Deposits of the Iron Mask Batholith, Southeastern British Columbia
The Iron Mask batholith is lo cated 10 km south west of Kamloops (Fig. 1). It is the source of Cu-Au-Ag pro duced from por phyry de pos its such as Afton, Cres cent, Pothook, Ajax West and Ajax East, as well as struc tur ally con trolled Cu-mag ne tite veins (Iron Mask, Makaoo, Grey Mask). Cur rently, it is the tar get of ex plo ra tion for Cu-Au-Ag-Pd min er al iza tion by DRC Re sources at th...
متن کاملNew evidence of magmatic-fluid–related phyllic alteration: Implications for the genesis of porphyry Cu deposits
The phyllic alteration in a number of circum-Pacific porphyry Cu-Au deposits is related to high-temperature saline magmatic fluids. This contradicts the widely used genetic models wherein phyllic alteration formed as the result of mixing between magmatic and meteoric fluids. At the Endeavour 26 North porphyry deposit in eastern Australia, the transition from early potassic to the main-stage phy...
