Abstract El-Bakriya area is situated in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. It includes several mineral occurrences and/or deposits. Data from remote sensing and airborne geophysics (gamma-ray magnetic) were combined to identify hydrothermal alteration zones structures related these occurrences. Various processing ASTER satellite images revealed fifteen high probability for metallic mineraliza...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism contributes significantly to volcano instability. We present study combines laboratory experiments, geophysical data, large-scale numerical modeling better understand the influence of on stability, using La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Easter...

bentonite deposits of economic interest are widespread in tashtab mountains (khur), east of isfahan province, iran. several bentonite deposits have been developed in this area as a result of eocene volcanic alteration. these deposits are classified as khur bentonite horizon. xrd analyses reveal that alteration products consist of na-montmorillonite, kaolinite, quartz, calcite, and crystobalite....

Abstract The Santa Fé Ni-Co deposit is a major undeveloped lateritic located in the Goiás State of Central Brazil. comprises two properties that together have indicated resources 35.7 million tonnes (Mt), grading 1.14% Ni and 0.083% Co, inferred 104.3 Mt at 1.03% 0.054% Co. laterite was derived from Late Cretaceous alkaline ultramafic lithologies experienced an initial silicification Eocene to ...

The Nullarbor Plain is underlain by thick cratonic lithospheric mantle that almost devoid of contemporary seismicity. Analysis high-resolution digital elevation models indicates neotectonic fault-propagation fold traces on the nearly flat karst landscape locally extend to lengths >100 km, suggesting potential for hosting large (>7.3–7.5) moment magnitude earthquakes. Along-strike maximum displa...

Besides cognitive decline and behavioral alteration, urinary incontinence often occurs in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD). To determine whether the transgenic mouse model of AD, APP/PS1 (APP(SL)/PS1(M146L)) mouse, shows alteration of the urinary bladder function and anxiety, as for patients with AD, we examined the urinary marking behavior in relation to affective behavior. At ...

Precise dating of K-rich minerals in volcanic rocks via the 40Ar/39Ar geochronometer has become crucial to resolving many geological problems. In some cases, ash beds containing biotite phenocrysts but lacking sanidine are the only datable horizons at key stratigraphic intervals, necessitating comparison of sanidine and biotite ages within the same chronostratigraphic framework. To assess the i...

The Paraíba is an Au-Cu-Mo deposit located in the southern part of Amazon Craton, Alta Floresta Mineral Province, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. It composed Au-Cu-bearing quartz veins and Cu-Mo-rich hydrothermal breccias stockworks, both associated with several alteration zones. integration spectral (reflectance imaging spectroscopy) conventional techniques (core logging, petrography, mineral chemi...
