چکیده
Moun tain pine beetles are a nat u ral dis tur bance agent within the for ests of west ern North Amer ica, where they are known to range from Brit ish Co lum bia to north ern Mex ico (Amman and Lo gan, 1998). They were first de scribed in South Da kota as the “pine de stroy ing bee tle of the Black Hills”, and mea sures were taken to con trol their spread as early as 1902 (Hopkins, 1905).

In this work, the concentration gradient (CG) analysis of local-scale exploration for Porphyry-Cu deposits is applied in two zones using the G(Vz) index (CG(Zn*Pb)/CG(Cu*Mo)). The first zone is covered by a 1:2000 map of the Sungun and Astamal areas in NW Iran and the second one in the Inza area in British Columbia, Canada. The rock samples are taken from Sungun and Astamal and the soil samples...
متن کاملMassive Sulphide Deposits of the Eagle Bay Assemblage , Adams Plateau , South Central British Columbia ( 082
The Eagle Bay assemblage in south central British Columbia contains numerous polymetallic massive sulphide deposits, mainly within highly deformed and metamorphosed Devonian felsic volcanic rocks. A number of these, including Rea and Homestake, have had limited past production, and others have undergone extensive exploration and development. Less known and understood are the sediment-hosted mas...
