structural analysis of remotely sensed data provides a method of assessing the structural significance of large-magnitude regional metallogenesis in the kerman porphyry cu belt in the southern part of the central iranian volcanic belt. the role of large-magnitude ring structures in the distribution of hydrothermal alteration zones and porphyry copper deposits in the southern part of the kerman ...

The Tuwu–Yandong belt contains five porphyry Cu deposits (Fuxing, Yandong, Tuwu, Linglong, and Chihu), constituting the largest metallogenic in Northwest China. However, framework for remains controversial. Rhenium-osmium dating of molybdenite from Chihu comparisons with previous geochronological data suggest that two episodes (335–330 Ma 323–315 Ma) Cu–Mo mineralization occurred belt, metals w...

a combination of elements is usually used in reconnaissance geochemical exploration and distribution maps are drawn to identify probable anomalies. in this study, 102 stream sediment samples from the arid environment of mesgaran area, eastern iran, were investigated using r-mode factor analysis. a four-factor model with a cumulative variance of 75.90% clearly indicated group associations of the...

Fe isotopes have been applied to the petrogenesis of ore deposits. However, behavior iron in mineralization porphyry-skarn deposits is still poorly understood. In this study, we report mineral separations (magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) from two different skarn deposits, i.e., Tonglvshan Cu-Fe deposit developed an oxidized hydrothermal system Anqing Cu a reduced system. both ca...

the cu, pb, zn, ag-au deposit of amensif is located on the northern flank of the western high atlas. this deposit is hosted in lower cambrian carbonate bars and is structurally controlled by ne-sw to e-w trending fault structures and is spatially associated with the permian 273 ma azegour granite. ore reserves are around 0.5 mt and grades are 3.21% zn, 0.58% pb, 0.86% cu with 83.31 ppm ag and 0...

the chah morra cu occurrence is located 15 to 20 km north of toroud village, south of shahrood. in this area, cu deposits are hosted by the andesitic sequence and most of rocks in this area are composed of andesite. veins contain minerals such as digenite, bornite, covellite, malachite, cuprite, tenorite, native copper and fe oxide and hydroxides. also some orthomagmatic magnetite and chalcopyr...

two types of mineralization including porphyry copper and epithermal gold mineralization have occurred in relation with an intermediate volcano-plutonic complex in masjeddaghi area. different alterations including silica, advanced argillic, intermediate argillic and propylitic have been distinguished in relation with epithermal mineralization, which have a zonal pattern. elemental mass gains an...
