• 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...

In this paper, we aim to present a quantitative modeling for delineating the alteration zones and lithological units in the hypogene zone of Masjed-Daghi Cu-Au porphyry deposit (NW Iran) based on the drill core data. The main goal of this work is to apply Ordinary Kriging (OK) and concentration-volume (C-V) fractal model based on Cu grades in order to separate the different alteration zones and...

Abstract Porphyry Cu ore deposits are a rare product of arc magmatism that often form spatiotemporal clusters in magmatic arcs. The petrogenetic evolution igneous rocks cover the temporal window prior to and during porphyry deposit formation may provide critical insights into processes key generating these systems. This study documents Palaeocene–Eocene Yarabamba Batholith, Southern Peru, was i...
