چکیده

sar-kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman province, iran. based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the sar-kuh area. early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripheral parts. the late hydrothermal activity caused a limited phyllic and argillic alteration zones. the mineralized quartz veins are classified into four groups, on the basis of mineralogy and cross-cutting relationships. group i and ii veins are concentrated mainly in the potassic alteration zone, while group iii and iv are most abundant in the phyllic and propylitic alteration zones, respectively. fluid inclusion studies on group i and ii quartz veins show that potassic alteration has originated from a dominantly magmatic fluid with high salinity (30-50 wt % nacl equiv) and temperature (>300oc). the ?34s values of separated pyrite and chalcopyrite from samples range between +1.29‰ to +4.72‰ (mean value of +2.68‰), consistent with a magmatic origin for sulfur.

SOME SULFIDE-SILICATE ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE SAR CHESHMEH PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSIT, KERMAN, IRAN

Studies of three selected sulfide-silicate assemblages from ore samples from the Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit led to some ore genetic conclusions. The presence of chalcopyrite blebs in the groundmass orthoclase and quartz from the stock suggests liquid immiscibility in a cooling late-magmatic melt. This is in favor of the orthomagmatic model proposed for porphyry copper deposits. Th...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

Fluid inclusion characteristics and molybdenite Re-Os geochronology of the Qulong porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit, Tibet

The Qulong porphyry copper and molybdenum deposit is located at the southwest margin of the Lhasa Terrane and in the eastern region of the Gangdese magmatic belt. It represents China’s largest porphyry copper system, with ∼2200 million tonnes of ore comprising 0.5 % Cu and 0.03 % Mo. The mineralization is associated with Miocene granodiorite, monzogranite and quartz-diorite units, which intrude...
