introduction the shahrestanak mn deposit is located in southern qom province, 12 km southwest of the city of kahak. based on geological-structural divisions of iran, the deposit belongs to central volcanic belt or urumieh-dokhtar zone. the venarch deposit is one the most important known manganese deposits in iran. the sharestanak and venarch deposits are spatially and temporally related to each...

Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr and Ni in soybean (Glycine max L.) grown near the Dabaoshan Mine were investigated, and their potential risk to the health of inhabitants was estimated. In the Fandong (FD) and Zhongxin (ZX) villages, which are near the Dabaoshan mineral deposit, concentrations of Pb (0.34 mg kg−1 for FD), Cd (0.23 mg kg−1 for ZX) and Cr (1.14 and 1.75 mg kg−1 for FD and ZX,...

Indium (In) is commonly hosted in Sn-rich deposits but rarely reported in Sn-poor deposits. However, an In-rich and Sn-poor skarn deposit, the Qibaoshan Cu-Zn-Pb deposit, has been identified in south China. Geochemical analyses were undertaken on 23 samples representing the following mineral assemblages: sphalerite-pyrite, pyrite-chalcopyrite, pyrite-sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite, pyrite, magn...

the base (cu–pb–zn) and precious metals (ag±au) mineralization at the no. 4 anomaly of golojeh deposit occurred in volcanic and sub–volcanic eocene–oligocene host rocks, in the central part of the tarom–hashtjin zone. basic to intermediate volcanic, volcaniclastic and sub–volcanic rocks are dominated in the area and include andesite, basaltic andesite, trachy-andesite, dacite and tuff with affi...

The Tres Marias carbonate-hosted Zn-Ge deposit in Chihuahua, Mexico contains willemite [Zn2SiO4] with unusually high concentrations of minor and trace elements (e.g., Pb, Ge, As, P, V); Pb concentrations are as high as 2 wt %, and Ge may reach 4000 ppm (average 900 ppm). Electron microprobe analyses and synchrotron X-ray fluorescence maps show that Zn and Ge, as well as Zn and Pb are negatively...

One of the world's largest concentrations of sediment-hosted stratiform zinc-lead-barite deposits is (Figure 1). The largest and most developed of these is located in the Gataga area of northern British Columbia the CirqueiSouth Cirque deposit, with estimated geological reserves of 38.5 million tonnes averaging 8.0% Zn, 2.2% Pb and 47.2 gitonne Ag at Cirque and gitonne Ag at South Cirque (M...

Recognition of ore deposit genesis is still a controversial challenge for economic geologists. Here, this task was addressed by the virtue of Bayesian data fusion (BDF) implementing available proofs: semi-schematic examples with two (Cu and Pb + Zn) and three (Cu, Pb + Zn and Ag) evidences. The data, in current paper are just concentrations of indicated elements, were collected from Angouran’s ...
