EXAFS measurements in the corrosion deposits were performed on Bell Labs-UIUC beamline X16C at the NSLS at Brookhaven National Laboratory in grazing incidence fluorescence mode at room temperature. EXAFS in the reference Cu and Pb metal foils, malachite, cerussite and hydrocerussite were measured in transmission. Sagittally focused second crystal in the double crystal Si (111) monochromator all...

Iranian Cenozoic magmatic belt, known as Urumieh-Dokhtar, is recognized as an important polymetallic mineralization which hosts porphyry, epithermal, and polymetallic skarn deposits. In this regard, multivariate analyses are generally used to extract significant anomalous geochemical signature of the mineral deposits. In this study, stepwise factor analysis, cluster analysis, and concentration–...

Tertiary meteoric hydrothermal systems have altered the rocks exposed over more than S% of the land surface of the northwestern United States and southern British Columbia, including at least 25,000 1m? in Idaho. The systems typically involved convective circulation of fluid derived from ordinary meteoric groundwater& around crystallizing, calc-alksline, epizonal plutons eiiiP.laced into coeval...

TheMarcona–Mina Justa deposit cluster, hosted by Lower Paleozoic metaclastic rocks and Middle Jurassic shallow marine andesites, incorporates the most important known magnetite mineralization in the Andes at Marcona (1.9 Gt at 55.4% Fe and 0.12% Cu) and one of the few major iron oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) deposits with economic Cu grades (346.6 Mt at 0.71% Cu, 3.8 g/t Ag and 0.03 g/t Au) at Mina ...

the role of some ring structures in the distribution of porphyry copper deposits in south kerman porphyry copper belt is discussed. in the study area, ring structures are circular or elliptical shaped features which are partly recognized on satellite images. in this study, landsat multispectral images were used to identify ring structures in the area. the rudimentary identification stages of th...

Porphyry systems supply most copper and significant gold to our economy. Recent studies indicate that they are frequently associated with high Sr/Y magmatic rocks, but the meaning of this association remains elusive. Understanding the association between high Sr/Y magmatic rocks and porphyry-type deposits is essential to develop genetic models that can be used for exploration purposes. Here we ...

principal skarn deposits along the northern margin of the ahar batholith from west to east include mazraeh, vine and gowdoul skarn deposits. among these skarn deposits, the mazraeh cu-fe skarn deposit is the most typical skarn deposit in the nw iran. this skarn deposit is located 5 km. north of mazraeh village and 20 km north of ahar town. the origin and development of the skarn can be related ...

The paper reviews and summarizes data on the physicochemical parameters chemical features of mineralizing fluids at porphyry deposits Cu–Mo–Au system. calculated average values ranges in mineral-hosted fluid inclusions are as follows: temperature 90–957 °C, 388 °C; salinity 0.1–88.0 wt % equiv. NaCl, 29.4 NaCl; density 0.38–1.85 g/cm3, 0.93 g/cm3. highest maximum homogenization temperatures wer...

The massive sulphide deposit at Kantienpan Cu-Zn mine is hosted by volcano sedimentary succession known as the Areachap Group, in the eastern part of Namaqua Metamorphic Province, South Africa. The deposits were affected by a complex deformation and metamorphic history and represent examples of upper amphibolite to granulite grade metamorphosed volcanic-hosted m...
