The vein-type Chomalu polymetallic epithermal deposit, located in the Tarom-Hashtjin Metallogenic Province (THMP), western Alborz, formed two separate mineralized zones controlled by fault within andesite and olivine basalt host rocks. deposit occurs adjacent to Varmarziar quartz monzonite, monzodiorite, monzosyenite intrusions. Ore mineralization consists of three stages; (i) an early stage do...

barika gold (and silver) rich massive sulfide deposit is located 18 km east of sardasht, north western part of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone. rock units outcropped in this area are cretaceous metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks in green schist facies, and include association of meta-andesite, meta-tuffite, phyllite and slate rocks, where the meta-andesitic unit (kmv1) is host rock to the...

kuh- e -zar gold deposit located 35 km west of torbat-e-heydaryeh, (khorassan e- razavi province), east of iran. this deposit is a specularite-rich iron oxide type (iocg). this mine is situated within khaf-bardascan volcanic plutonic belt. based on recent exploration along this belt, several iocg type system plus kuh-e-zar deposit are discovered. in the study area, several type of tuff and lava...

Inorganic hydrophobically capped NPs such as quantum dots, superparamagnetic iron oxide, or gold nanoparticles can be modified to make them water-soluble by their embedding in an amphiphilic polymer shell. This polymer shell can be prefunctionalized by the integration of organic fluorophores, which allows the observation of the nanoparticles with fluorescence based techniques. The fluorophore c...

The Kiruna mining district, Sweden, known for the type locality of Kiruna-type iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposits, also hosts several Cu-mineralized deposits including oxide–copper–gold (IOCG), exhalative stratiform Cu-(Fe-Zn), and structurally controlled to stratabound Cu ± Au. However relationship between IOA Cu-systems has not been contextualized within regional tectonic evolution. A broader ...

Using linear reflection spectroscopy and far-field two-photon luminescence (TPL) scanning optical microscopy, we characterize highly enhancing, large-area gold nanostructures formed on porous templates made by anodization of aluminum with either oxalic acid or phosphoric acid. These templates are formed by a newly developed, stepwise technique making use of protective top oxide layers facilitat...
