The genesis of deeply buried deposits in the Duobaoshan ore district, largest porphyry-related Cu-Mo-Au field northeastern China, is not well understood and their exploration lacking because fine velocity structure this region comprehensively understood. Herein, first-arrival seismic travel times were picked along a deep reflection profile inverted using tomographic method to obtain detailed up...

Abstract: The Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Belt (UDMB) is the host of many Iranian Cu porphyry deposits. Southern part of this belt, in the range of geological Jebal barez, has been less investigated because of the mountainous and rough topography and also some security confrontation. Porphyry deposits are associated with hydrothermal alteration zones can be mapped using remote sensing data such as...

Abstract Ore formation in porphyry Cu-Au-(Mo) systems involves the exsolution of metal-bearing fluids from magmas and transport metals magmatic-hydrothermal plumes that are subject to pressure fluctuations. Deposition ore minerals occurs as a result cooling decompression hydrothermal partly overlapping shells. In this study, we address role vapor-like through numerical simulations metal using G...

Kahang Cu Porphyry deposit is situated in the central part of a major Iranian magmatic belt, Urumieh-Dokhtar, in central Iran.There are several sub-volcanic stocks (e.g., porphyric granitoids rocks, quartz monzonite, diorite and monzodiorite-monzogranite)within Eocene volcanic and pyroclastic rocks consisting of basaltic, trachy-andesite and dacitic rocks. Hydrothermal alterations at the Kahang...

Resources/reserves classification is crucial for block model creation utilised in mine planning and feasibility study. Selection of estimation methods is an essential part of mineral exploration and mining activities. In other word, resources classification is an issue for mining companies, investors, financial institutions and authorities, but it remains subject to some confusion. The aim of t...

The Vathi porphyry Cu-Au ± Mo mineralization is located in the Serbo-Macedonian metallogenic province of Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt. It mainly hosted by a latite and genetically associated with quartz monzonite intrusion, which intruded basement rocks Vertiskos Unit latite, 18 to 17 Ma ago. A phreatic breccia crosscuts latite. was affected potassic alteration, whereas subjected local pro...

Abstract Porphyry-type deposits are the main global source of copper and molybdenum. An improved understanding most favorable structural settings for emplacement these is necessary successful exploration, particularly considering that future discoveries will be made under cover based on conceptual target generation. A common view porphyry preferentially emplaced in pull-apart basins within stri...
