The hydrogeological system of an ecologically sensitive alpine floodplain in the Valle di Blenio, Switzerland, was investigated using hydrochemical and 3H-3He dating methods. Water samples from six wells and from different surface locations were analyzed. The analysis of the concentrations of major ions in conjunction with age determination by the 3H-3He-method allowed the main hydrological pro...

The northwestern part of the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA) contains many areas with porphyry copper mineralization. In this research, we used the advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) images of this region to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks, based on their mineral assemblages. The spectral meas...

Proterozoic limestone in a north British terrane contains newly recognised occurrence of Nb-REE minerals. The mineralized Loch Shin Limestone is the Lewisian Complex Northern Highlands Scotland, intruded by alkaline plutons above Caledonian (∼0.43 Ga) subduction zone. mineral assemblage includes columbite, calcium niobate minerals, and niobian rutile also W- Sn-bearing phases. interval between ...

Sar-Kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the Sar-Cheshmeh copper mine, Kerman Province, Iran. Based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the Sar-Kuh area. Early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of Mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

introduction the kahang cu- mo deposit is situated approximately 73 km northeast of isfahan. asadi (2007) identified a geological reserve of 40 mt (proven reserve) grading at 0.53 cu, 0.02 mo and estimated reserve of 120 mt. all the rock types in the region have been subjected to hydrothermal solutions which gave rise to three different alteration facies. the dacite and rhyodacite volcanic rock...

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...

Quartz, carbonates and other minerals as e.g., realgar are present in veins caverns sedimentary rocks the Western Carpathians. In Polish segment, they have been characterized from mineralogical, petrologic, geochemical points of view, well fluid inclusions. Their characters discussed perspective a description particular types chaotic complexes—the tectonic mélange zones, distinguished Carpathia...
