The Qulong porphyry copper deposit in Tibet is located the Tethis–Himalaya metallogenic domain, one of three major domains world. At present, mining area mainly used for surface mining. depth revealed by drilling project less than 2 km. potential deep resources unknown. Based on an analysis geochemical characteristics primary halos around No. 16 prospecting line, extension discussed this paper....

Whole-rock geochemical data and compositional balance analysis (CoBA), combined with a magnetic susceptibility model obtained from high-precision survey, are useful exploration tools in the Jiama porphyry–skarn deposit, southern Tibet, China. In this paper, three innovative aspects of described that have assisted deposit: an improved geological understanding thrust–nappe structure, hydrothermal...

The Yuleken porphyry Cu-Mo deposit located in the Chinese Altay-East Junggar, a section of Central Asian Orogenic Belt, world's largest Phanerozoic subduction-accretionary orogen, witnessed multistage tectonic-magmatic evolution and mineralization from arc to syn- post-collision environment over time span about 52 Ma. Four types molybdenite have been distinguished: (1) primary magmatic-hydrothe...

Abstract A current mineral exploration focus is the development of tools to identify magmatic districts predisposed host porphyry copper deposits. In this paper, we train and test four, common, supervised machine learning algorithms: logistic regression, support vector machines, artificial neural networks (ANN) Random Forest classify metallogenic ‘fertility’ in arc magmas based on whole-rock ge...

Knowing the grades of target elements within an explored region is a very important aspect. Such grade value properties and the element correlation is also the most important exploration parameters needed for any one who attempts to decrease the exploration cost and also the exploration risk. These could be achieved by sampling, laboratory analyses and core loggings within the boreholes. Becaus...

he Boddington Au-Cu mine is located in the southwestern corner of the Yilgarn craton in the Western Gneiss terrane in Western Australia. The mineralization is hosted in the northern part of the Saddleback greenstone belt which includes an early sequence of basaltic to dacitic volcanic rocks and associated shallow level porphyry intrusions emplaced between ~2714-2696 Ma. After two periods of def...

The Geological Survey Office (GSO) undertook a pilot study with the objective of assessing the ability of Survey data to support modern quantitative mineral potential modelling techniques. The Yarrol pilot project was designed to audit digital data sets routinely produced by the GSO, and to provide mineral assessment outputs relevant to both industry and Government decision-making processes. Th...

INTRODUCTION Regional metallogeny deals with broad aspects of the genesis of mineral deposits, particularly their distribution in time and space. Here we are concerned with such a study of a 28 700-square-kilometre area in the southwestern corner of British Columbia, including much of the Vancouver and Hope map-areas (NTS 92 G and H) and small parts of the adjoining mapareas to the north (NTS92...
