the area is located 20 km northwest of kashmar and about 4 km of kalateh taimour in khorasan razavi province. the study area is part of tertiary volcanic-plutonic belt north of daruneh fault and its situation in tectonic inliers between two important active faults, doruneh and taknar. volcanic rocks are mainly intermediate to acid pyroclastic type. they formed during early tertiary. the volcani...

In 1960, Granduc Mines Ltd. st& :d most of the area comprising the current property and bel an an explom tion program for porphyry copper mineralii ation, emplo:iing airborne and ground geophysics in add Ition...

Whole-rock geochemical data and compositional balance analysis (CoBA), combined with a magnetic susceptibility model obtained from high-precision survey, are useful exploration tools in the Jiama porphyry–skarn deposit, southern Tibet, China. In this paper, three innovative aspects of described that have assisted deposit: an improved geological understanding thrust–nappe structure, hydrothermal...

The spectral and spatial properties of the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) data can be used in detailed lithological and hydrothermal alteration mapping related to copper and gold mineralization, particularly the shortwave infrared radiation subsystem where hydrothermal alteration minerals have diagnostic spectral absorption features. This paper reviews th...

The Geological Survey Office (GSO) undertook a pilot study with the objective of assessing the ability of Survey data to support modern quantitative mineral potential modelling techniques. The Yarrol pilot project was designed to audit digital data sets routinely produced by the GSO, and to provide mineral assessment outputs relevant to both industry and Government decision-making processes. Th...

With a focus on the Cu isotope geochemistry of chalcopyrite, this paper analyzed Qibaoshan crypto-explosive breccia-type Cu–Au polymetallic ore district in Wulian, Shandong Province, North China Craton (NCC). Combined with results situ sulfur analysis sulfides, certain reference and evidence for study genetic mechanism epithermal-porphyry metallogenic system were provided. The show that δ34S va...

Volatile-rich intermediate to silicic magmatic systems can feed devastating volcanic eruptions but also generate valuable magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits that supply most of the world's copper. Understanding geometry, dynamics and timescales these is critical in developing models for predicting occurrence future large eruptions. Here, we use zircon petrochronology from an equigranular monzon...
