The Pb-Zn-Cu deposit of Ulldemolins occurs within the Carboniferous sedimentary series of the southernmost Catalonian Coastal Ranges. It consists of sulphide-bearing calc-silicate assemblages, with epidote, Ca-amphiboles and Ca-garnet, which develop selectively along a dolomicrite bed near the contact with a granite porphyry. Two mineralisation styles can be differentiated: a) banded and b) irr...

Copper, obtained from porphyry deposits formed in arc settings, is a critical resource, and primarily sourced magmas. However, the processes that shape copper contents of magmas are up for debate. Existing models place emphasis on different petrological agents explain large-scale trends systematics. Previous studies have noted ’Cu paradox,’ where with high Sr/Y ratios, indicative ore-forming po...

The Sorkheh deposit in northwestern Iran exhibits several readily visible general characteristics of sediment-hosted stratiform copper (SSC) mineralization. It consists of fine-grained disseminated base-metal sulfides within gray sandstones (gray beds, the basal whitish Miocene sandstone and shallow-water) that overlie a thick sequence of red beds (Miocene Upper Red Formation). The host gray be...

The purpose of mineral exploration is to find ore deposits. The main aim of this work is to use the fuzzy inference system to integrate the exploration layers including the geological, remote sensing, geochemical, and magnetic data. The studied area was the porphyry copper deposit of the Kahang area in the preliminary stage of exploration. Overlaying of rock units and tectonic layers were used ...

The Pulang porphyry copper deposit (PCD), one of the main potential areas for resource exploration in China, exhibits typical alteration zoning. However, further investigation indicative significance minerals, additional insight into metallogenic characteristics, and prospecting guidelines continue to be challenging. In this study, ASTER WorldView-3 data were used map hydrothermal minerals by e...

The application of machine learning (ML) algorithms for processing remote sensing data is momentous, particularly mapping hydrothermal alteration zones associated with porphyry copper deposits. unsupervised Dirichlet Process (DP) and the supervised Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques can be executed main objective this investigation to practice an algorithm that accurately model best traini...

The Zhashui-Shanyang ore cluster area is one of the most important gold polymetallic ones in northwestern China. Qinglingou deposit a newly discovered small-scale area. Gold mineralization closely related to acid intrusive rocks has been found for first time this In paper, geochronology, whole-rock geochemistry, and isotope signature granite porphyries are studied. They characterized by variabl...
