The Late Devonian to Early Mississippian is an important metallogenic epoch within the Canadian cordillera resulting in the production of significant sediment exhalative massive sulphide (SEDEX) and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineral occurrences within rocks of cratonic or pericratonic affinity. Major belts include the Late Devonian Earn-hosted SEDEX deposits of the Selwyn and Gataga d...

Extracting and synthesizing information from existing and massive amounts of geology spatial data sets is of great scientific significance and has considerable value in its applications. To make mineral exploration less expensive, more efficient, and more accurate, it is important to move beyond traditional concepts and establish a rapid, efficient, and intelligent method of predicting the exis...

This study tests the hypothesis of Cretaceous Turn Geological Evolution (CTGE). It uses large dataset on mineral deposits NE Asia compiled by US Survey in collaboration with Russian, Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese geological institutions. As predicted, Triassic–Early Jurassic Late Cretaceous–Paleogene geodynamic activities were simple, producing a relatively small amount (94 132, respectively)...

The metallogenic belts (or regions) of the Sanjiang orogenic domain are divided under ideas systematic, hierarchical and correlated geological-tectonic unit, based on spatial–temporal structure MABT evolution → intracontinental convergence strike-slip tectonic transformation process.

Porphyry Cu and epithermal deposits are spatially and temporally related to specific volcanic and plutonic rocks emplaced during the formation of long-lived magmatic arcs formed along convergent plate boundaries (e.g., Sillitoe, 1972; Sutherland Brown, 1976; Titley, 1982; Sawkins, 1990; Bissig et al., 2003). Recognizing the presence, types of deposits, and age of the mineralized volcanoplutonic...

Most of geothermal areas are located in seismically active regions. Because of an intensive tectonic regime, discontinuities of their lithosphere play the role of channels for powerful metallogenic heat and mass transfer processes, especially for intrusion of ultra-basic magmas with Fe, Mn etc. into the crust. Proceeding from the presence of substantial low resistivity structures in seismic lit...
