چکیده
One of the world's largest concentrations of sediment-hosted stratiform zinc-lead-barite deposits is (Figure 1). The largest and most developed of these is located in the Gataga area of northern British Columbia the CirqueiSouth Cirque deposit, with estimated geological reserves of 38.5 million tonnes averaging 8.0% Zn, 2.2% Pb and 47.2 gitonne Ag at Cirque and gitonne Ag at South Cirque (Maclntyre, 1992). The 15.5 million tonnes of 6.9% zinc, 1.4% lead and 32 Driftpile deposit, located 80 kilometres north of Cirque, by Archer, Catbro and Associates and from 1993 to the has been explored and drilled extensively in 1978-1982

متن کاملMineralogy and Geochemistry Studies of the Sorkheh Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper (SSC) Deposit, NW Iran
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...

The Nii Zn-Pb-Ag-Ba prospect is located in the headwaters of the Noosegolch River valley, approximately 23 kilometms north-east of Hagensborg in west-central British Columbia (Figure 1). The area lies within the Stikine Termne of the Coast Belt and is mostly underlain by various packages of matic to felsic volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentruy m&s @gore 1). Many of these packages are of unce...
متن کاملGeochemical Distribution of Heavy Metals and Assessment of Environmental Indicators in Chah-Shaljami Polymetal Ore deposit, South of Birjand, Iran
The Chah-Shaljami polymetal ore deposit contains heavy metal anomalies in various mineralization zones. Geochemical distribution and correlation of elements in surficial soilsindicate that sulfide, sulfate, sulfosalt and silicate mineral occurrences (e.g. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, molybdenite, enargite, hornblend and biotite) in mineralization and stockwork zones resulted in the...
متن کاملMineralogy and geochemistry of Nodoushan Zn-Pb deposit: A transitional deposit in UDMA, Central Iran
Eocene magmatism with intermediate-acid tuffs and volcanic rocks, the host to the Nodoushan deposit in Yazd province, intruded by Oligocene early diorite and later granite plutonic rocks. The former involved in iron skarn (containing epidote and euhedral grossularite) to the north and northern part of the deposit, the latter contributed to fault-controlled Zn-Pb deposit. The structural features...
