A program of geologic mapping and lithogeochemical and geochronological sampling has been carried out over a 745-km area of the Atacama Desert surrounding the porphyry Cu deposits at Escondida, Zaldívar, and Chimborazo (Cordillera de Domeyko, northern Chile). The purpose of this study was to examine the regional tectonic and magmatic setting of this preeminent porphyry Cu district for evidence ...

The phyllic alteration in a number of circum-Pacific porphyry Cu-Au deposits is related to high-temperature saline magmatic fluids. This contradicts the widely used genetic models wherein phyllic alteration formed as the result of mixing between magmatic and meteoric fluids. At the Endeavour 26 North porphyry deposit in eastern Australia, the transition from early potassic to the main-stage phy...

Mineral resource classification is an important step in mineral exploration and mining engineering. In this study, copper molybdenum resources were classified using a combination of the Turning Bands Simulation (TBSIM) Concentration–Volume (C–V) fractal model based on Conditional Coefficient Variation (CCV) for Cu realizations Masjed Daghi porphyry deposit, NW Iran. research, 100 scenarios loca...

X-ray transmission (XRT) and computed tomography (CT) was used on five samples from the Niaz porphyry Cu–Mo deposit in Iran, representing different alteration zones. Analysis of three-dimensional CT data revealed structural information groups elements with low, medium high attenuation, which were assigned to minerals previously determined by scanning electron microscopy. Thus, mineralization ca...

Porphyry-type deposits are the major sources of copper and molybdenum, flotation has been adopted to recover them separately. The conventional reagents used for depressing minerals, such as NaHS, Na2S, Nokes reagent, have potential emit toxic H2S gas when pulp pH was not properly controlled. Thus, in this study applicability microencapsulation (ME) using ferrous phosphate ions an alternative pr...

Fifteen volumes long, Against the Christians was written by the Roman pagan Porphyry circa 280 and was an educated man's studied attack on Christian theology. An exceedingly powerful and successful work, it and commentaries on it were condemned by the imperial church in 448 and burned. Only remnants which were contained in books that were primarily about other matters have survived until the pr...

The Qulong porphyry copper deposit in Tibet is located the Tethis–Himalaya metallogenic domain, one of three major domains world. At present, mining area mainly used for surface mining. depth revealed by drilling project less than 2 km. potential deep resources unknown. Based on an analysis geochemical characteristics primary halos around No. 16 prospecting line, extension discussed this paper....
