The Chah-Bagh gold occurrence is located in Muteh mining district, in the central part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Gold mineralization occurs in ductile to ductile-brittle shear zones and is comparable with orogenic gold deposits. Silicification and sulfidization are the most important hydrothermal alteration features in the inner parts of altered shear zones and coincide most closely with the...

The Upper Jurassic Mantos Blancos copper deposit (500 Mt at 1.0% Cu), located in the Coastal Range of northern Chile, displays two superimposed hydrothermal events. An older phyllic alteration probably related to felsic magmatic–hydrothermal brecciation at ∼155 Ma, and younger (141–142 Ma) potassic, propylitic, and sodic alterations, coeval with dioritic and granodioritic stocks and sills, and ...

We present a first paragenetic study of the Wuyier, Wuyisan, Wuyiyi and Shihongtan sandstone-hosted roll-front uranium deposits, northwest China. The mineralization is hosted by Lower–Middle Jurassic coarseto medium-grained sandstones, which are dark-gray to black due to a mixture of ore minerals and carbonaceous debris. The sandstone is alluvial fan-braided river facies. Minerals associated wi...

Through integration of Pb-Zn ± Cu non-sulfide mineralogy, texture, and stable isotope (C, O, S) geochemistry, the world-class Touissit- Bou Beker Jbel Dahar Mississippi Valley-type districts Moroccan Atlasic system have been investigated in order to gain insights into origin processes that contributed formation base metal mineralization. In both districts, direct replacement (“red calamine”) wa...

this paper presents the new geochemical isotopes sr and nd, and the mineralization data for the south neyshabour volcanic rocks located in ne iran. based on the chemical classifications, the studied rocks are basaltic trachy andesite, trachy andesite, trachyte, and trachy dacite in composition. all the analyzed volcanic rocks display enrichment in light rare earth elements (lree) relative to th...

The internal structure of Seafloor Massive Sulfides (SMS) deposits is one the most important and complex issues facing study modern hydrothermal ore systems. Semenov-5 field a unique area where mass wasting on slope oceanic core (OCC) exposes subsurface portion deposit offers an exceptional opportunity to observe massive sulfides that have formed not only seafloor but in sub-seafloor zones as w...

the darreh-zar porphyry copper deposit, located in the urumieh – dokhtar magmatic belt, lies about 10 km southeast of sar-cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit. the ore body with hydrothermally altered zones including potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, argillic and propylitic all related to the darreh-zar porphyry stock intruded the eocene volcanic rocks. pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, with ...
