Interpolated contour maps drawn for aluminum, copper and molybdenum in downstream monitoring boreholes of water dam in Miduk Copper Complex and the values of pH, redox potential (Eh) and distance from water dam indicate different trends of variation and behavior of these three elements in downward groundwater resources. As these maps exhibit, aluminum is dominant in the most alkaline (pH = 9-11...

The main goal of this research work was to detect the different Cu mineralized zones in the Sungun porphyry deposit in NW Iran using the Spectrum-Volume (S-V) fractal modeling based on the sub-surface data for this deposit. This operation was carried out on an estimated Cu block model based on a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) using the C++ and MATLAB programing. The S-V log-log plot was gene...

the darreh-zar porphyry copper deposit, located in the urumieh – dokhtar magmatic belt, lies about 10 km southeast of sar-cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit. the ore body with hydrothermally altered zones including potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, argillic and propylitic all related to the darreh-zar porphyry stock intruded the eocene volcanic rocks. pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, with ...

The Qulong porphyry copper and molybdenum deposit is located at the southwest margin of the Lhasa Terrane and in the eastern region of the Gangdese magmatic belt. It represents China’s largest porphyry copper system, with ∼2200 million tonnes of ore comprising 0.5 % Cu and 0.03 % Mo. The mineralization is associated with Miocene granodiorite, monzogranite and quartz-diorite units, which intrude...

This article describes the geology and industrial mineral potential of corundum, pyrophyllite and andaluite at the Empress deposit in the Taseko Lakes area (Figure 1). The Empress is a copper-goldmolybdenum porphyry deposit located 225 kilometres north of Vancouver and 50 kilometres northwest of Goldbridge and the Bralorne mining camp. Fine-grained corundum, in association with andalusite-pyrop...

This paper presents a quantitative modeling for delineating alteration zones in the hypogene zone of the Miduk porphyry copper deposit (SE Iran) based on the core drilling data. The main goal of this work was to apply the Ordinary Kriging (OK), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal modelings on Cu grades to separate different alteration zones. Anisotropy was ...

introduction the kahang cu- mo deposit is situated approximately 73 km northeast of isfahan. asadi (2007) identified a geological reserve of 40 mt (proven reserve) grading at 0.53 cu, 0.02 mo and estimated reserve of 120 mt. all the rock types in the region have been subjected to hydrothermal solutions which gave rise to three different alteration facies. the dacite and rhyodacite volcanic rock...

The Poplar copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit, 50 kilometres south-southwest of Houston, is centred near 54 degrees 01 minute north and 126 degrees 50 minutes west. The property is accessible from Houston via 80 kilometres of forest access roads along the Morice River, Owen Lake, Tahtsa Reach, and Poplar Lake. The deposit is situated on the northeast shore of Tagetochlain (Poplar) Lake in an ar...

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...
