Kahang Cu Porphyry deposit is situated in the central part of a major Iranian magmatic belt, Urumieh-Dokhtar, in central Iran.There are several sub-volcanic stocks (e.g., porphyric granitoids rocks, quartz monzonite, diorite and monzodiorite-monzogranite)within Eocene volcanic and pyroclastic rocks consisting of basaltic, trachy-andesite and dacitic rocks. Hydrothermal alterations at the Kahang...

The Proterozoic Carpentaria Province (McArthur basin and Mount Isa Inlier) in northern Australia comprises a number of world class clastic dominated (CD-type) Zn-Pb massive sulphide deposits, formally known as SEDEX deposits. In order to identify the geochemical footprint any mineralizing system it is necessary characterize compositional variability host rock mineralization. southern Carpentari...

Stikine Terrane arc rocks in the re,:ion host !;(m:ral copper-gold and copper-molybdenum ocnlwerlces (MINFILE 104 G and H). The volcrrnic strat.i,:raphy hosting these deposits is, however, poorly const:aimd. The Tatogga Lake project will attemp; to characterize individual deposits, desclibe their h a 1 and rcgictnal stratigraphic and structural settings, and deternme the ages of magmatism ...

Detecting the mineralization component is one of the main subjects in geochemical exploration. Various techniques have been introduced to explore favorite zones and separate the anomaly from background, such as bivariate or multivariate statistical analysis. The main objectives is to identify the spatial variability and main sources of some special elements in Qare Char, in northwest of Iran, b...

The Lut Block is a potential porphyry-style mineralized region in Iran including the well-explored Shadan porphyry gold-copper deposit, which has an extensive zone of gold- and copper-bearing stockwork-like sheeted veins. structural setting this deposit key to understanding genesis mineralization. Our field studies show that mineralization occurs as steeply dipping ore bodies along NW–SE transp...

An approach is presented to establish a state-wide basis for geochemical background values from the available data of Geological Survey Bavaria. For this purpose, typical element concentrations rock units in Bavaria were statistically evaluated and lithogeochemical map derived geological at scale 1:25,000. The elements comprise 39 geogenic main trace (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2...

3D geological modeling of lithogeochemical and geological data provides insight into the role of the sulfide ore horizon and associated footwall hydrothermal alteration in localizing shear strain in the Flin Flon volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, Canada, as deformation evolved from brittle-ductile to ductile regimes during collisional stages of the 1.9–1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson orogeny. 3D spati...

Abstract. Discovering ore deposits is becoming increasingly difficult, and this particularly true in areas of glaciated terrains. As a potential exploration tool for such terrains, we test the vectoring capacities trace element sulfur isotope characteristics pyrite, combined with quantitative statistical methods whole-rock geochemical datasets. Our target Rajapalot gold–cobalt project northern ...
