tion of hydrothermal affects that extend beyond such features as megascopically recognizable mineralization and alteration zones. Here we present results of a preliminary lithogeochemical study of the Slocan Group, motivated by (1) the prior recognition of syngenetic sulphides in the clastic sequence, and (2) an earlier, restricted lithogeochemical study by Cox (1979) on the basis of which he r...

ultramafic rocks are essentially constituted by silicates of magnesium: forsterite, and/or diopside-enstatite; who’s the most common hydrothermal alteration are the serpentinization. to bou azzer, the serpentinisation affected almost all of the ultrabasic rocks. among the phenomena bound to the serpentinisation observed on the ground, we distinguish the magnesium deposits (carbonated serpentini...

The Ramand region is a part of the magmatic belt in Urmieh-Dokhtar structural zone in Iran, located in the SW of BuinـZahra. This area mainly consists of felsic extrusions such as rhyolites and rhyodacites. Argillic alterations with occurrences of mineralized silica veins are abundant in most of the volcanic units. In this research work, we used the GIS facilities for modeling the Ramand geo-sp...

introduction the kahang cu- mo deposit is situated approximately 73 km northeast of isfahan. asadi (2007) identified a geological reserve of 40 mt (proven reserve) grading at 0.53 cu, 0.02 mo and estimated reserve of 120 mt. all the rock types in the region have been subjected to hydrothermal solutions which gave rise to three different alteration facies. the dacite and rhyodacite volcanic rock...

Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...

[1] The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of vein minerals and dO values of 64 whole rocks from the deeper kilometer of the 1.5 km lower crustal section of ODP Hole 735B in the SW Indian Ocean were analyzed in order to investigate seawater penetration into and reaction with the lower oceanic crust. Vein amphiboles have dD values of 35 to 65%, indicating formation from seawater fluids and...

Introduction: There is a growing interest in the thermal evolution and fluid behavior of impact structures in the context of their possible influence on emergence of life both in the Early Earth and on other Planetary Bodies. This is largely related to hydrothermal mechanisms at work during the cooling of the hot materials produced and deposited in impact craters. Yet most of the research in th...
