This paper documents the exploration significance of Ag/Au, Au/Cu, Cu/Mo and (Ag×Au)/Cu×Mo) ratios of the supra-ore and sub-ore halos versus fluid inclusion evolution for 24 Cu, 6 Cu- Mo and 10 Cu-Au porphyry deposits worldwide. The ratios are based only on the economic and mineralized hypogene alteration zones. The results indicate that (Ag×Au)/(Cu×Mo), Au/Cu and Cu/Mo ratios increase with dec...

The origin of hypogene alteration and mineralization features in the Escondida porphyry Cu deposit resulted from intense overprinting related to three main hydrothermal stages. beginning each stage is recorded by deposition bright quartz crystals on vein walls that precipitated high-temperature fluids. In deepest zones deposit, earliest started with exsolution intermediate-density fluids, which...

Base metal mineralization at the Baal Gammon and Isabel deposits of Herberton Mineral Field (HMF) is hosted in metamorphosed greywacke beds Hodgkinson Formation, which were intruded by granite, porphyry dykes overlain volcanic rocks Kennedy Igneous Association during Carboniferous Permian. The tin deposit a silicified, chlorite-altered, quartz-feldspar (UNA Porphyry). polymetallic veins hosting...

Čukaru Peki is a recently discovered porphyry- high-sulfidation Cu-Au deposit located 5km south of the mining town Bor in east Serbia. Three styles mineralization are distinguished system: type with massive sulfides (named Upper zone), porphyry Lower zone) and transition (between porphyries sulfides). This study investigates concentration distribution trace elements pyrite from these three zone...

The Kalmakyr deposit in Uzbekistan is one of the world’s largest gold-rich porphyry Cu deposits, and mineralization was proposed to be closely associated with emplacement latest intrusive phases, that is, granodiorite porphyry. However, it still unclear which features these ore-bearing intrusions are crucial for enormous metal enrichment how they correlate magmatic fertility. In this study, we ...

gomish-tappeh zn-pb-cu (ag) deposit is located 90 km southwest of zanjan, in northwestern part of urumieh-dokhtar volcano-plutonic zone. exposed rocks at the area include oligo-miocene volcano-sedimentary and sedimentary sequences as well as pliocene volcano-plutonic sequence (andesite porphyry dykes, dacitic subvolcanic dome and rhyodacitic volcanics). alteration in the deposit developed as si...
