Kimberlite volcanism involves the emplacement of olivine-rich volcaniclastic deposits into volcanic vents or pipes. Kimberlite deposits are typically pervasively serpentinised as a result of the reaction of olivine and water within a temperature range of 130-400 °C or less. We present a model for the influx of ground water into hot kimberlite deposits coupled with progressive cooling and serpen...

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

The term "Carlin-type" deposit has been applied to a number of low-grade, sedimentary rock-hosted gold deposits that have been discovered and brought into production in the western United States since the 1960s. Carlin-type deposits are characterized by replacement of carbonate and silty carbonate rocks by silica, pyrite, barite, various arsenic, mercury, antimony, and thallium minerals and by ...

Abstract The collapse of a volcanic flank can be destructive and deadly. Hydrothermal alteration is common to volcanoes worldwide thought promote volcano instability by decreasing rock strength. However, some laboratory studies have shown that not all reduces Our new data for altered rhyodacites from Chaos Crags (Lassen center, California, USA) show pore- crack-filling mineral precipitation red...

Non-magmatic, fracture-controlled hydrothermal systems located within and near the Idaho batholith have been examined and evaluated for potential application as natural analogues to high-level nuclear waste repositories. Detailed geochemical, Ž . petrologic, and structural studies of hot springs along the South Fork of the Payette River SFPR in central Idaho, USA, have been combined to assess t...
