This work presents the application of a geostatistical-based modeling approach for building up electrical properties acquired from a geophysical electrical tomography survey deployed for the purpose of porphyry Cu exploration at the Takht-e-Gonbad deposit, in the central domain of Iran. Electrical data were inverted in 2D along several profiles across the main favorable zones of Cu-bearing mine...

The Qin-Hang Metallogenic Belt (QHMB), an important metallogenic belt in South China, hosts Cu and W–Sn polymetallic deposits. Tongshanling ore field the QHMB is characterized by coexistence of Cu- W-bearing deposits, which are related to granodiorite granite porphyry. This study examined whole-rock geochemistry, geochronology, Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes determine genetic relationship between diverse or...

Abstract Porphyry copper deposits, the principal source of and molybdenum, form at convergent margins. Copper is precipitated from fluids associated with cooling magmas that have formed in mantle evolved mid- to lower crustal levels, before rising toward surface where they saturate exsolve an aqueous fluid copper. Despite advances understanding their formation, there are still underexplored asp...

Studies of three selected sulfide-silicate assemblages from ore samples from the Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit led to some ore genetic conclusions. The presence of chalcopyrite blebs in the groundmass orthoclase and quartz from the stock suggests liquid immiscibility in a cooling late-magmatic melt. This is in favor of the orthomagmatic model proposed for porphyry copper deposits. Th...

Čukaru Peki is a recently discovered porphyry- high-sulfidation Cu-Au deposit located 5km south of the mining town Bor in east Serbia. Three styles mineralization are distinguished system: type with massive sulfides (named Upper zone), porphyry Lower zone) and transition (between porphyries sulfides). This study investigates concentration distribution trace elements pyrite from these three zone...

Porphyry Mo deposits are the most important type of resource. They result from a high oxygen fugacity parent magma, which acts as an effective indicator for evaluating mineralization. In ore-forming system porphyry deposits, sulfur exists mainly sulfate in highly oxidized magma but sulfide ores. What triggers reduction mineralization that leads to precipitation has not yet been determined. Most...

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 ar...

Abstract The Xiong’ershan district in central China hosts broadly coeval porphyry Au (Qiyugou deposit), Mo (Leimengou and barren (Huashan pluton) systems. key controls on the ore potential different mineralization styles these systems are not well understood, with first-order differences fluid chemistry melt sources being main alternatives. inclusion characteristics of all three have been studi...
