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 peripher...

Wettability alteration is one of the most important methods for oil recovery from sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The effects of salinity, pH, temperature, and chemicals such as surfactants and fatty acids on the alteration of the wettability were described in previous studies. In recent years, attention has been directed to nanoparticles as a wettability alteration agent. The effect of som...

the tajroud vein system is located 190 km southwest of mashhad, and in the southern part of the sabzevar zone. the vein host rocks consist of eocene intermediate to silicic volcanic rocks. the mineralization occurs as open space filling, taking place as veins, veinlets and hydrothermal breccias. based on field geology and textural evidence, three main stages of mineralization were identified. s...

the study area covers the northern part of the baft geological map (scale of 1:100 000 ). several porphyry and vein-type mineralization are reported from this area. a topic that is discussed in the mineral exploration community is the use of remote sensing and airborne geophysics for porphyry type mineralization. which one is more reliable and efficient in hydrothermal alteration mapping? airbo...

BACKGROUND There has been plentiful evidence of kinesthetically induced rapid compensation for unanticipated perturbation in speech articulatory movements. However, the role of auditory information in stabilizing articulation has been little studied except for the control of voice fundamental frequency, voice amplitude and vowel formant frequencies. Although the influence of auditory informatio...

hydrothermal alteration processes are extensively took place on volcanic and pyroclstics of takestan area. existence of abundant, deep fracturing and subvolcanic intrusions are enhanced extend hydrothermal alteration zones. the following alteration zones are determined: propylitic, argillic, advanced argillic and sillicic. there are outcropped and widespread in different size and limit. formati...

Wettability alteration is an important method for increasing oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. Chemical agents like surfactants are known as wettability modifiers in carbonate systems. Oil can be recovered from initially oil-wet carbonate reservoirs by wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet condition with adding dilute surfactant and electrolyte solutions. This paper inv...

This paper presents a quantitative modeling for delineating alteration zones in the hypogene zone of the Miduk porphyry copper deposit (SE Iran) based on the core drilling data. The main goal of this work was to apply the Ordinary Kriging (OK), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal modelings on Cu grades to separate different alteration zones. Anisotropy was ...
