Geology and Alteration at the Mount Milligan Gold-copper Porphyry Deposit, Central British Columbia
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Highway 30 kilometres som:h of Mackenzie. Estimated geological reserves for the deposit, including the Southern Star deposit to the south, are 400 million tonnes grading about 0.20 per cent copper and 0.48 gram per tonne gold (Preto, 1990).

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...

In this paper, we aim to achieve two specific objectives. The first one is to examine the applicability of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) technique in ore grade estimation. Different training algorithms and numbers of hidden neurons are applied to estimate Cu grade of borehole data in the hypogene zone of porphyry copper-gold deposit, Masjed-Daghi, East Azerbaijan Province (Iran). The ef...
