Geology of the Poplar Porphyry Copper-molybdenum Deposit (93l/3e; 93e115w)
نویسنده
چکیده
The Poplar copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit, 50 kilometres south-southwest of Houston, is centred near 54 degrees 01 minute north and 126 degrees 50 minutes west. The property is accessible from Houston via 80 kilometres of forest access roads along the Morice River, Owen Lake, Tahtsa Reach, and Poplar Lake. The deposit is situated on the northeast shore of Tagetochlain (Poplar) Lake in an area of moderately rolling topography which ranges in elevation from 840 metres a t lake level to 1 110 metres a t the western edge of the study area (Fig. 37). Two small streams, Canyon Creek and East Creek, traverse the area. Grassy, open meadows alternate with local stands of aspen, fir, and pine. Meadows in the area are used t ~ y local ranchers for cattle grazing.

The purpose of mineral exploration is to find ore deposits. The main aim of this work is to use the fuzzy inference system to integrate the exploration layers including the geological, remote sensing, geochemical, and magnetic data. The studied area was the porphyry copper deposit of the Kahang area in the preliminary stage of exploration. Overlaying of rock units and tectonic layers were used ...
متن کاملAccounting for secondary variable for the classification of mineral resources using co-kriging technique; a Case study of Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit
Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

Sar-Kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the Sar-Cheshmeh copper mine, Kerman Province, Iran. Based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the Sar-Kuh area. Early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of Mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...
متن کاملTempo of magma degassing and the genesis of porphyry copper deposits
Porphyry deposits are copper-rich orebodies formed by precipitation of metal sulphides from hydrothermal fluids released from magmatic intrusions that cooled at depth within the Earth's crust. Finding new porphyry deposits is essential because they are our largest source of copper and they also contain other strategic metals including gold and molybdenum. However, the discovery of giant porphyr...
