Remote sensing techniques and spatial data analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been jointly applied in a mineral exploration context to identify gold-rich potential areas in SE Spain. Results conŽ rm the usefulness of this integrated methodological approach as an eVective tool to assess mineral potential in the studied region. Satellite and airborne image analysis have oV...

Abstract Many porphyry molybdenum deposits are hosted in multi-phase plutons, but it is unclear some how these magmas originated and whether the pluton intruded as fractionated or was by new batches of magma. New mapping has clarified field relationships between units White Pine Mo system Little Cottonwood stock, Utah (western United States), including intrusion, Red porphyry, rhyolite dikes, p...

3D visual mapping of the seafloor has found applications ranging from environment monitoring and survey of marine minerals to underwater archaeology and inspection of modern artificial structures. However, the attenuation of light is significantly more pronounced in water than in air or in space, and so in order to obtain underwater images in colour, it is typically necessary to be within 2–3 m...

Several large-scale porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) with high economic value have been excavated in the Duolong ore district, Tibet, China. However, altitudes and harsh conditions this area make traditional exploration difficult. Hydrothermal alteration minerals related to PCDs diagnostic spectral absorption features visible–near-infrared–shortwave-infrared ranges can be effectively identified ...

the cu, pb, zn, ag-au deposit of amensif is located on the northern flank of the western high atlas. this deposit is hosted in lower cambrian carbonate bars and is structurally controlled by ne-sw to e-w trending fault structures and is spatially associated with the permian 273 ma azegour granite. ore reserves are around 0.5 mt and grades are 3.21% zn, 0.58% pb, 0.86% cu with 83.31 ppm ag and 0...

introduction the senj deposit has significant potential for different types of mineralization, particularly porphyry-like cu deposits, associated with subduction-related eocene–oligocene calc-alkaline porphyritic volcano-plutonic rocks. the study of fluid inclusions in hydrothermal ore deposits aims to identify and characterize the pressure, temperature, volume and fluid composition, (ptx) cond...

sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit is located 65 km southwest of rafsanjan in kerman province. the sarcheshmeh deposit belongs to the southeastern part of urumieh-dokhtar magmatic assemblage (i.e., dehaj-sarduyeh zone). intrusion of sarcheshmeh granodiorite stock in faulted and thrusted early-tertiary volcano-sedimentary deposits, led to mineralization in miocene. in this research, the mass ch...
