Fe isotopes have been applied to the petrogenesis of ore deposits. However, behavior iron in mineralization porphyry-skarn deposits is still poorly understood. In this study, we report mineral separations (magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) from two different skarn deposits, i.e., Tonglvshan Cu-Fe deposit developed an oxidized hydrothermal system Anqing Cu a reduced system. both ca...

The article presents an overview of the main stages magmatism and ore mineralization copper other metals Tekturmas ophiolite belt related structures Central Kazakhstan. age, composition probable tectonic settings during formation Cu-Ni deposits in Kazakhstan associated with sulfide are discussed. includes formations three lithological types: basaltic Karamurun Kuzek formations, siliceous Bazarb...

Retranslocation of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu and Ni within the foliage of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was studied during autumnal needle senescence along a heavy-metal pollution gradient in western Finland. The stands were located at distances of 0.5 (Har 0.5), 4 (Har 4) and 8 km (Har 8) to the southeast of a copper-nickel smelter at Harjavalta. A background study stand was located a...

The phyllic alteration in a number of circum-Pacific porphyry Cu-Au deposits is related to high-temperature saline magmatic fluids. This contradicts the widely used genetic models wherein phyllic alteration formed as the result of mixing between magmatic and meteoric fluids. At the Endeavour 26 North porphyry deposit in eastern Australia, the transition from early potassic to the main-stage phy...

The Bolesław-Bukowno mining area in Poland is highly polluted by elements such as Zn, Pb, Cd and As. The reactivity and mobility of toxic elements such as Tl are poorly known. Here, we studied by sequential extraction the mobility of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Pb, Tl and Zn in sediments from two water reservoirs near Bukowno. Results show that available As, Co, Mn, Pb and Zn are found in carbo...

This paper describes the application of a new multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique called fuzzy outranking to map prospectivity for porphyry Cu Mo deposits. Various raster-based evidential layers involving geological, geophysical, and geochemical geo-data sets are integrated for mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In a case study, 13 layers of the Now Chun deposit located in the Ker...

Cu-Zn alloys have been electrodeposited from a pyrophosphate electrolyte containing Cu2P207> Zn2P207 salts and an excess of K4P2O7 and KN03. Current-potential data for both copper and zinc, as well their plating current efficiencies were determined from electrochemical polarisation experiments. Copper deposition commenced at potentials below -0.208 V whereas zinc was deposited only below -1.157...

The Dunnage Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians hosts diverse Cambrian–Ordovician volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. peri-Laurentian Notre Dame Subzone contains Cu–Zn–Au mafic and bimodal deposits in ∼501–485 Ma ophiolitic rocks Zn–Pb–Cu–(Au–Ag) ∼471–465 rifted continental arc sequences (e.g., Buchans). peri-Gondwanan Exploits host felsic, felsic siliciclastic, Zn–Ag–Au hybrid ∼513–...
