Porphyry deposits are copper-rich orebodies formed by precipitation of metal sulphides from hydrothermal fluids released from magmatic intrusions that cooled at depth within the Earth's crust. Finding new porphyry deposits is essential because they are our largest source of copper and they also contain other strategic metals including gold and molybdenum. However, the discovery of giant porphyr...

kalchoye copper-gold deposit is located about 110 kilometers east of esfahan province and within the eocene volcano sedimentary rocks. sandy tuff and andesite lava are important members of this complex.the form of mineralization in area is vein and veinlet and quartz as the main gangue phase. the main ore minerals are chalcopyrite, chalcocite, galena and weathered minerals such as goethite, iro...

The effect of sulphuric acid concentration on the kinetics of silver ion cementation on copper in the electrolyte containing 0.5 M CuSO4 was investigated at 25 oC at a rotating cylinder system. The morphology of the silver deposit cemented in the presence or absence of oxygen was studied. Additionally, the influence of the concentration of H ion on the mechanism of the cementation, proposed by ...

Abstract At the Exótica deposit, south of giant porphyry copper deposit Chuquicamata (Atacama Desert, Chile), Cu-rich groundwater seeped out at several locations in open pit (Mina Sur) during sampling 2009–2011. their outflows, these solutions formed blueish and greenish copper-bearing gel-like precipitates. These gels contained atacamite sulfate hydroxides such as devilline, spangolite, posnja...

The Lut Block is a potential porphyry-style mineralized region in Iran including the well-explored Shadan porphyry gold-copper deposit, which has an extensive zone of gold- and copper-bearing stockwork-like sheeted veins. structural setting this deposit key to understanding genesis mineralization. Our field studies show that mineralization occurs as steeply dipping ore bodies along NW–SE transp...

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Spring 1999 FIG. 1. Cross section of a 6-level copper wiring structure fabricated by IBM showing wiring hierarchy. n-chip interconnections comprise a multilevel structure of fine wiring located on the top of the transistor circuitry of logic or memory chips, whose role is to connect circuits together as shown in Fig. 1. To avoid significant degradation of...

The surface geochemistry techniques widely employed during the 1960’s to 1980’s are effective at discovering near-surface deposits, but are largely ineffective for exploring under deep cover or for deep extensions of known mineralisation in a near-mine environment. Instead, mineral explorers must focus their attention on rapidly aggregating and synthesising disparate data to build into holistic...

It is well known that the most common methodology for evaluating a mineral asset NPV. Most of mining companies employ this technique expected economic benefits provided by exploration and exploitation deposit. However, also wish to know how their assets are creating value through several development phases. The purpose being assess progressive in agreement with information data cumulated differ...
