چکیده

post-mineralization activities may cause difficulties in the process of ore modeling in porphyry deposits. sungun, nw iran, is one of the porphyry copper deposits, in which dyke intrusions have made ore modeling more complicated than expected. among different kinds of dykes, two types were chosen and the consequent geostatistical analyses were applied on. in this study, simple directional variograms were used for extracting relevant information from dyke systems on which the sequential indicator simulations were applied consequently. one hundred realizations were produced on the simulation grid considering the anisotropy characteristics and e-type map has been provided averaging all realizations. moreover, a binary state between dyke and non-dyke environments was produced putting threshold on the e-type grid node values to discriminate the ore from barren dykes. hole-effect models were fitted to the empirical variograms perpendicular to the dyke strike. dimensional information was elicited from these models and the results were compared with the previously carried out geological investigations, and finally a good numerical match was found between these two sources of information.

Calculation of Mass Transfer and Element Mobility During the Hydrothermal Alteration in the Sungun PORPHYRY Copper Deposit Iran

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit is located in northwestern Iran and is associated with diorite/granodiorite to quartz-monzonite of Miocene age, which intruded Eocene volcanosedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Copper mineralization was accompanied by both potassic and phyllic alteration. Three main mineralization related alteration episodes (potassic, transition, and phyllic alteratio...

Application of Discriminant Analysis for Alteration Separation; Sungun Copper Deposit, East Azerbaijan, Iran

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit that intruded Eocene volcano sedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks hosted by a diorite/granodioritic to quartzmonzonitic stock. Copper mineralization is essentially associated more with potassic and less phyllic alteration. Therefore separating these two kinds of alteration is so important. In this paper, by applying the discriminant, it was attempt to se...

Direct block-support simulation of grades in multi-element deposits: application to recoverable mineral resource estimation at Sungun porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit

mining companies to determine a resource model of the tonnage and head grade of a potential orebody, which is one of the first and most critical inputs underpinning any mining project. The prediction of the grade, tonnage, and recoverable metal for a particular mining plan and the corresponding financial forecast constitute the main technical risks in mineral resource evaluation. The convention...

Geology of the Poplar Porphyry Copper - Molybdenum Deposit

The Poplar copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit, 50 kilometres south-southwest of Houston, is centred near 54 degrees 01 minute north and 126 degrees 50 minutes west. The property is accessible from Houston via 80 kilometres of forest access roads along the Morice River, Owen Lake, Tahtsa Reach, and Poplar Lake. The deposit is situated on the northeast shore of Tagetochlain (Poplar) Lake in an ar...
