two types of mineralization including porphyry copper and epithermal gold mineralization have occurred in relation with an intermediate volcano-plutonic complex in masjeddaghi area. different alterations including silica, advanced argillic, intermediate argillic and propylitic have been distinguished in relation with epithermal mineralization, which have a zonal pattern. elemental mass gains an...

The area of interest is located on the eastern flank of the Andean Cordillera, San Juan province, Argentina. The 3600 km2 area is characterized by Siluro-Devonian to Neogene sedimentary and igneous rocks and unconsolidated Quaternary sediments. Epithermal, porphyry-related, and magmatic-hydrothermal breccia-hosted ore deposits, common in this part of the Frontal Cordillera, are associated with ...

Remote sensing can be understood as the science, technology and art of acquiring, processing, and interpreting airborne or spaceborne images that record the interaction between matter and electromagnetic energy (Sabins, 1997, Aranoff, 2005). Nowadays a plethora of satellites surrounding the earth provides continuous sets of data of quite different nature used for navigation, positioning, meteor...

Establishing exploration vectors to infer the properties of ore-forming fluids, locate blind ore bodies with aid visible near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy, chemistry minerals, is a new research interest for economic geology. Common alterations clay including sericite, chlorite, epidote, alunite, kaolinite, tourmaline, etc., are ideal objects study indicators due t...
