Abstract The crustally derived Tungsten Plutonic Suite (TPS) in the northern Canadian Cordillera is responsible for several of world’s most important tungsten (W) resources, but actual source rocks to these exceptionally metallogenic magmas have never been identified. Detrital zircon studies improved our knowledge exposed supracrustal packages region, such that a U-Pb study inherited cores TPS ...

The Bridge River mining camp comprises five former producing mines and numerous currently active mining prospects. The camp may be roughly defined as those properties lying within the Bridge River drainage basin bounded by the Coast plutonic complex on the southwest and the Shulaps ultrabasic complex on the northeast. Reconnaissance work by ministry field parties in 1986 and 1987 covers approxi...

petrography, modal analysis of sandstones and major elements geochemistry of shales of early cambrian zagun formation in sarbandan section, central alborz, are used to identify their provenance (including parent rocks, tectonic setting and paleo-weathering). petrography of the sandstones and plotting their point counting data on qt44, f47, l9 and qm44, f45 ,lt11 diagrams imply that they are ark...

sarcheshmeh porphyry copper deposit is located 65 km southwest of rafsanjan in kerman province. the sarcheshmeh deposit belongs to the southeastern part of urumieh-dokhtar magmatic assemblage (i.e., dehaj-sarduyeh zone). intrusion of sarcheshmeh granodiorite stock in faulted and thrusted early-tertiary volcano-sedimentary deposits, led to mineralization in miocene. in this research, the mass ch...

Landscapes of high relief are often favoured tourist destinations and at the same time display complex geomorphology that may be result diverse geology summarised into concept geodiversity. In contrast areas subdued landscape, while topographically unappealing, also geodiverse but need careful explanation promotion to attract geotourist. The mid-west Western Australia is an area low with a long...
