Resources classification using fractal modelling in Eastern Kahang Cu-Mo porphyry deposit, Central Iran
Resources/reserves classification is crucial for block model creation utilised in mine planning and feasibility study. Selection of estimation methods is an essential part of mineral exploration and mining activities. In other word, resources classification is an issue for mining companies, investors, financial institutions and authorities, but it remains subject to some confusion. The aim of t...
متن کاملGeologic Evolution of the Escondida Area, Northern Chile: A Model for Spatial and Temporal Localization of Porphyry Cu Mineralization
A program of geologic mapping and lithogeochemical and geochronological sampling has been carried out over a 745-km area of the Atacama Desert surrounding the porphyry Cu deposits at Escondida, Zaldívar, and Chimborazo (Cordillera de Domeyko, northern Chile). The purpose of this study was to examine the regional tectonic and magmatic setting of this preeminent porphyry Cu district for evidence ...
متن کاملTrace element remobilization at the Ok Tedi porphyry Cu-Au deposit, Papua New Guinea
The Ok Tedi Complex hosts a world-class porphyry copper-gold deposit. Samples from the Ok Tedi Complex and the neighbouring Mount Ian Complex were analyzed for major and trace elements using XRF and HR-ICP-MS, and the isotopic composition of S in sulphides was analyzed by Elemental Analyzer. Major element geochemistry indicates that both complexes are alkaline and contain rocks ranging in compo...
متن کاملWhy 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 کاملCyclic Magmatic-Hydrothermal Evolution in Porphyry Systems: High-Precision U-Pb and Re-Os Geochronology Constraints on the Tibetan Qulong Porphyry Cu-Mo Deposit*
We present high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb zircon and isotope dilution-negative-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-N-TIMS) Re-Os molybdenite geochronology of the world-class Tibetan Qulong porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. The data is used to constrain the timing, duration, and to yield implications for the ore-forming processe...
