The Tethyan Himalaya is the fourth metallogenic belt discovered to date within Tibetan Plateau and contains chromite, gold Sb–polymetallic mineralization. records a series of complex tectonic–magmatic events that include break-up, subduction, collision, detachment, obduction Eastern Gondwana continent, all which generated ideal conditions for ore formation. However, this area remains under-expl...

Exiguobacterium sp. AB2 is a haloalkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a hyperalkaline spring in Manleluag, Pangasinan, Philippines. Sequencing of bacterial DNA assembled a 2.85 MB draft genome. Analysis suggests the presence of genes for tolerance to stresses such as elevated pH and salt concentrations and toxic metals.

Absbvct New petrographic and chemical data of volcanic rocks from the Metales Belt, Rio de las Tunas area, in the Frontal Cordillera of Argentina are presented. The rocks display a broadly basaltic composition. ‘PNO varieties of basaltic dikes can be differentiated. One group, whose mineralogy comprise essentially tremolite-actinolite, plagioclase, pyroxene and limited amounts of olivine as the...
