The Sonju Lake intrusion (SLI) is a 1200-m thick, sheet-like, tholeiitic layered intrusion located within the 1096 Ma Beaver Bay Complex of NE Minnesota. Its cumulus stratigraphy of Ol Pl+Ol Pl+Cpx+Ol Pl+Cpx+Ox±Ol Pl+Cpx+Ox+Ol+Ap indicates formation by closed-system fractional crystallization of a tholeiitic magma. In 1999, outcrop sampling revealed a stratiform PGE-enriched interval within oxi...

alteration of ophiolitic ultramafic rocks, formation of listwaenite and associated mineralization are interesting phenomena of metallogeny of khoy ophiolite. it seems that the hydrothermal circulations responsible for mercury mineralization were derived from geothermal systems caused by intermediate to acidic magmatism in neogene-pleistocene time. reactivation of brecciated serpentinite with hy...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

the analysis of geochemical data in frequency domain, as indicated in this research study, can provide new exploratory informationthat may not be exposed in spatial domain. to identify deep geochemical anomalies, sulfide zone and geochemical noises in dalli cu–au porphyry deposit, a new approach based on coupling fourier transform (ft) and principal component analysis (pca) has beenused. the re...

kuh-e-faryadoon and kouli kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan zone around deh-bid area. plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. a mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...

In this paper, correlation between rock types and Cu mineralization obtained by Concentration-Number (C-N) fractal model calculated in Kushk-e-Bahram Cu deposit, Central Iran. This deposit is located in the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA). The main subject in this study was determination of relation between the Cu grade populations and rock types based on subsurface data using logratio matr...

Resources potential assessment is one of the fields in geosciences, which is able to take great advantage of GIS technology as a substitution of traditional working methods. The gold resources potential in the eastern Kunlun Mountains, Qinghai Province, China was assessed by combining weights-of-evidence model with GIS spatial analysis technique. All the data sets used in this paper were derive...
