The Muteh gold deposit (NE of Golpaygan) in the central part of intrusive-metamorphic belt of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone comprises NW-SE trending gold-quartz vein occurred in metamorphic complex. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that formed during regional deformation across the mylonitic zones in metamorphic rocks of predominantly meta-volcanic, gneiss and schist. The sulfidation ...

The productive mineralization of the Sheikhdzheili-Zengiboba area is associated with metamorphogenic transformations rocks Urusai, Karauzyak, Kuyanchik, Sheikhdzheili suites, metamorphosed under conditions green schist facies. mineralized zones site are confined to narrow faults in tectonic northeast and northwest directions. main form manifestation gold-bearing small steeply dipping veins, len...

Wolfram mineralization in the area of Vau village (Dong Giang district, Quang Nam province) is distributed along small stream together with other sulfide mineralizations form to large boulders. Ore minerals are mainly sheelite, pyrhotite, arsenopyrite a little chalcopyrite and pyrite. The ore stockwork type gray, light gray metamorphic sedimentary rocks quartz - mica composition alternated feld...

Quartz porphyry of rhyolitic composition though a volumetrically minor is an important component metavolcanic successions in the Gadag schist belt western Dharwar craton. The quartz porphyries are calc-alkaline, enriched light rare earth elements (Lan/Ybn ~ 10–20) and with strong negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*N=0.45–0.58). These features, coupled high K2O/Na2O (0.8 to 1.46), low Nb/Th (<1), Lan/Sm...

In the context of agricultural nitrogen excesses in northwestern France, pyrite-bearing weathered schist aquifers represent important hydrological compartments due to their capacity to eliminate nitrate (NO3-). Under oxygen-free conditions, nitrate is reduced simultaneously with the oxidation of pyrite leading to the release of sulfate (SO4/2-). The aim of the present study is to identify the h...

Gold production in New Zealand has been significant since the mid 1800s, totalling 900 t (29 Moz) to 2005. In addition, there is potential for a further 1230 t (39.5 Moz) of gold in known and undiscovered deposits. Most of the gold has originated from epithermal and mesothermal (orogenic) hydrothermal systems. Epithermal gold occurs in the Northland, Coromandel and Taupo volcanic zones in quart...

The value of surface complexation modeling of radionuclide adsorption in supporting the selection of KI values should be given wider recognition within the performance assessment modeling process. Studies of uranium(Vl) adsorption by a weathered schist and specimen mineral phases that comprise the schist were conducted as a function of aqueous chemical conditions in laboratory experiments. The ...
