The Dehaj area, located in the southern part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt, is a well-endowed terrain hosting a number of world-class porphyry copper deposits. These deposits are all hosted in an acidic to intermediate volcano-plutonic sequence greatly affected by various types of the hydrothermal alterations, whether argillic, phyllic or propylitic. Although there are a handful of hithe...

The Dongxiang tungsten–copper deposit is a large W–Cu located in the northeast of Jiangxi province south China. Previous studies have mainly considered geochemical and isotopic attributes ore deposit, but information still lacking on genesis setting mineralization-related intrusive rocks. This paper presents systematic elements Sr–Nd–Hf data granodiorite porphyry. porphyry intermediate–acidic c...

The genesis of deeply buried deposits in the Duobaoshan ore district, largest porphyry-related Cu-Mo-Au field northeastern China, is not well understood and their exploration lacking because fine velocity structure this region comprehensively understood. Herein, first-arrival seismic travel times were picked along a deep reflection profile inverted using tomographic method to obtain detailed up...

Whole-rock geochemical data and compositional balance analysis (CoBA), combined with a magnetic susceptibility model obtained from high-precision survey, are useful exploration tools in the Jiama porphyry–skarn deposit, southern Tibet, China. In this paper, three innovative aspects of described that have assisted deposit: an improved geological understanding thrust–nappe structure, hydrothermal...

The Vathi porphyry Cu-Au ± Mo mineralization is located in the Serbo-Macedonian metallogenic province of Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt. It mainly hosted by a latite and genetically associated with quartz monzonite intrusion, which intruded basement rocks Vertiskos Unit latite, 18 to 17 Ma ago. A phreatic breccia crosscuts latite. was affected potassic alteration, whereas subjected local pro...

Porphyry copper ore is a vital strategic mineral resource. It often associated with significant hydrothermal alteration, which alters the original mineralogical properties of rock. Extracting alteration information from remote sensing data crucial for porphyry exploration. However, current method extracting ASTER does not consider influence disturbing factors, such as topography, and ignores we...
