the sorkheh deposit in northwestern iran exhibits several readily visible general characteristics of sediment-hosted stratiform copper (ssc) mineralization. it consists of fine-grained disseminated base-metal sulfides within gray sandstones (gray beds, the basal whitish miocene sandstone and shallow-water) that overlie a thick sequence of red beds (miocene upper red formation). the host gray be...

Early diagenetic sediment-hosted stratiform copper (eSSC) mineralization results from low-temperature cuprous chloride complexes carried by saline aqueous solution circulating through footwall aquifers. Favorable copper solubilities are attained in moderately oxidizing, near-neutral pH solutions. That specific oxidation level is not determined by co-existence with hematite, with its near-indisc...

This study, carried out in tailings from two sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits the Lublin-Głogów Copper District Poland (Kupferschiefer-type deposit) and Zhezkazgan (cupriferous sandstone-type Kazakhstan, analysed mineralogy of copper, zinc, lead minerals as related to metal accumulation sediments. Microscopic study reflected light SEM–EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope—Energy Dispersiv...

The Hubi copper (cobalt) ore district, one of the largest typical examples sediment-hosted stratiform type in Zhongtiao Mountain area, is located on southern margin Trans-North China Orogen within North Craton (NCC) and has a reserve 0.79 Mt. Mineralization mainly hosted by Group, sequence metasedimentary rocks deposited from ~2168 Ma to ~2059 Ma. Subsequently, collisional orogeny (Trans-North ...
