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...

A ship building grade of carbon steel has been coated with copper by a furnace brazing process starting from a brass braze. An argon protective atmosphere was used to prevent oxidation of the steel. However, when the deposit was produced a low gas flow rate ensured that zinc was lost from the brass by oxidation leaving a copper deposit on the steel surface. The copper was found to be zinc free ...

Sedimentary Copper mineralization has been observed in Monj and Jolany locations in Bavanat (Sanandaj – Sirjan metamorphic belt). According to current study, the host rocks for copper mineralization in this area are green sandstones, generally in subarkose and arkose groups. Age of these sandstones is middle Jurassic. Copper mineralization is observed in two forms, sulfides form including chalc...

This paper addresses the application of integrated chargeability and resistivity method and grade data in modeling and evaluation of copper deposits. We argue that the relationship between IP, Rs and grade data may be used for modeling and reserve estimation and tested this argument for Sarbisheh copper deposit that is located in eastern Iran. Geology and mineralization situation of Sarbisheh d...

The aim of this paper was to study the influence of microbial biofilms on the high copper levels measured in the drinking water of rural houses. Drinking water parameters and copper pipe surfaces were analysed in the copper plumbing systems of rural and urban houses. The water in rural houses had pH values of 6.2 and alkalinity values of 63mg/L as CaCO3, whereas in urban houses the pH values we...

The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...

The purpose of this work is to study the electrocrystallization behavior of the copper deposit on pure titanium substrate. The electroplating was conducted at 0.7 A/cm2, 65°C in cupric sulfate-sulfuric acid bath with various chloride additions 45-350 ppm . Initial growth morphology and microstructure of the deposit were examined with a field-emission scanning electron microscope FESEM and a hig...

studies of three selected sulfide-silicate assemblages from ore samples from the sar cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit led to some ore genetic conclusions. the presence of chalcopyrite blebs in the groundmass orthoclase and quartz from the stock suggests liquid immiscibility in a cooling late-magmatic melt. this is in favor of the orthomagmatic model proposed for porphyry copper deposits. the pr...

Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) deposit is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes pathology. Here, we report that apo-cyclen, attached to a specific hIAPP recognition motif (NYGAIL), captured copper ions and became proteolytically active. This cyclen-NYGAIL-copper complex was able to interfere with hIAPP aggregation and cleave hIAPP. These activities rescued INS-1 cells from hIAPP induced cyto...
