• A petrogenetic framework for textures in the archetypal Yerington porphyry system. textural toolkit deposit exploration. Formation of pegmatitic pods, USTs and massive silica bodies due to undercooling. Thermometry aplite dykes indicates intrusion hotter melts from depth. Miarolitic cavities record timing fluid exsolution mineralisation. Porphyry-type deposits are spatially temporally associa...

Identification of the vertical and horizontal distributions for elemental grades is of an important sign in different mineral exploration stages. The main aim of this work is to determine the vertical distribution directional properties of Cu values in the Milloieh Cu porphyry deposit, Kerman (SE Iran) using the power-law frequency fractal model. This work is carried out based on four mineraliz...

the iranian east magmatic assemblage (iema) in the central lut region, hosted porphyry and vein-type polymetallic mineralization. the galechah-shurab mining district is located in nw of the iema. volcanic and subvolcanic bodies in the area are composed of calc-alkaline porphyry quartz-latite, porphyry dacite and rhyodacite and hornblende-biotite andesite, equivalent to i-type granite. they empl...

the darreh-zar porphyry copper deposit, located in the urumieh – dokhtar magmatic belt, lies about 10 km southeast of sar-cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit. the ore body with hydrothermally altered zones including potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, argillic and propylitic all related to the darreh-zar porphyry stock intruded the eocene volcanic rocks. pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, with ...

Hydrothermally formed rutile is a common mineral in porphyry Cu (-Au-Mo) deposits and has the potential to provide versatile information about physical-chemical conditions timing of mineralization. In this study, we investigated trace element composition U-Pb dates hydrothermal by LA-ICP-MS together with its petrographic context, four well-studied systems: Batu Hijau (Indonesia), Bingham Canyon...

In this paper, we aim to achieve two specific objectives. The first one is to examine the applicability of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) technique in ore grade estimation. Different training algorithms and numbers of hidden neurons are applied to estimate Cu grade of borehole data in the hypogene zone of porphyry copper-gold deposit, Masjed-Daghi, East Azerbaijan Province (Iran). The ef...

Porphyry systems supply most copper and significant gold to our economy. Recent studies indicate that they are frequently associated with high Sr/Y magmatic rocks, but the meaning of this association remains elusive. Understanding the association between high Sr/Y magmatic rocks and porphyry-type deposits is essential to develop genetic models that can be used for exploration purposes. Here we ...

The Sungun Cu-Mo porphyry deposit forms part of the Ahar–Arasbaran Magmatic Belt (AAMB). Its host Miocene stock is quartz monzonitic in composition and cut by intermediate dykes that post-date mineralization. These contain pyroxene enclaves ambiguous origin. Dykes microdiorite are observed within diorite dykes, whereas later three different kinds (diorite, hornfels) sizes between 1 10 cm. Encla...

Increases in the magnitude of positive Ce anomalies zircons from igneous rocks are often interpreted to be controlled by progressive melt oxidation and have been used provide evidence for elevated redox state magmas associated with porphyry Cu deposits. In this paper, we test idea comparing trace element compositions Resolution Cu-Mo deposit, Arizona, numerical models systematics zircon-melt pa...
