The surface geochemistry techniques widely employed during the 1960’s to 1980’s are effective at discovering near-surface deposits, but are largely ineffective for exploring under deep cover or for deep extensions of known mineralisation in a near-mine environment. Instead, mineral explorers must focus their attention on rapidly aggregating and synthesising disparate data to build into holistic...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. the known world class cu-mo deposit, sarcheshmeh porphyry deposit (central iran) selected as the study area. the hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...
