tertiary intrusive granitoids within the lut block in the khorasan razavi and south khorasan provinces are mainly sub-volcanic with porphyry texture and their composition varies from granite to diorite but monzonite is dominant. with the exception of hired, these are classified as belonging to the magnetite-series of i-type granitoids. chemically, these rocks are meta-aluminous. those with mine...

Base metal mineralization at the Baal Gammon and Isabel deposits of Herberton Mineral Field (HMF) is hosted in metamorphosed greywacke beds Hodgkinson Formation, which were intruded by granite, porphyry dykes overlain volcanic rocks Kennedy Igneous Association during Carboniferous Permian. The tin deposit a silicified, chlorite-altered, quartz-feldspar (UNA Porphyry). polymetallic veins hosting...

introduction the mn mineralization occurs in the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone (sz), north of the central iranian microcontinent (cim). this zone (sz) is located between the cim fragmentation in the south and the kopeh dagh sedimentary sequence in the north. the ore deposits of the northeastern segment of the sabzevar zone can be divided into three groups, each with different metal ...

Trace element compositions of sphalerite and chalcopyrite have been investigated for four arc-hosted Cretaceous VMS deposits (María Teresa, Perubar, Palma in Peru, Cerro de Maimón the Dominican Republic) using laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In sphalerite, Fe, Mn, Cd, Hg, Ag, Sb, Se, In, Ge, Ga are lattice-bound, whereas Sn, Tl, Bi, Pb occur at least partly as miner...

Gold is typically transported by mafic and evolved magmas into the upper crust to be deposited in shallow oxidized porphyry epithermal environments. However, magmatic behavior of gold still poorly understood warrants further attention. Additional insights evolution other noble metals can provided investigations primitive convergent zone products their differentiation that contain primary-textur...

The ore mineralogy of a new promising target the Aldan–Stanovoy gold province—the Spokoininsky cluster—is considered. Gold mineralization is represented by volumetric, nonlinear type, unconventional for region; it related to elements fold structures and reverse fault in enclosing metamorphic basement rocks. Vein-disseminated sulfide–(pyrite)–quartz ores build up deposit-like bodies beresites fr...
