molybdenite occurs in five forms in the sar cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit, namely, (1)-veinlets with quartz-molybdenite, (2)-veinlets with quartz-molydenite that were filled with pyrite, (3)-veinlets with quartz-molybdenite-pyrite–chalcopyrite, (4)-molybdenite veinlets with very low quartz and (5)-disseminated molybdenite grains. because of their large size, the veinlet-related molybdenite g...

introduction the sar cheshmeh copper deposit and indications of other deposits are located in the dehaj-sarduieh belt in the kerman region (khadem and nedimovic, 1973). this belt is one of the most important provinces of cu mineralization in iran, with approximately 300 cu deposits and prospects, includingtwenty of the porphyry copper type (ghorbani, 2013). this belt, 300 km in length and 30–45...

The accurate Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image registration is important for exact analyses of mine deformation and ecological environment change. Currently, many image registration algorithms have been proposed, but these registration algorithms cannot be directly applied to SAR image, so an integrated registration approach is presented in this paper. Firstly, it is the coarse matching with...

Copper-mine tailings are the residual products after the extraction of precious copper metal from copper ores, and their storage can create numerous environmental problems. Many researchers have used copper-mine tailings for the preparation of geopolymers. This paper studies the enhancement of the cementitious activity of copper-mine tailings in geopolymer systems. First, copper-mine tailings a...

sarcheshmeh copper mine, with the final reserves of 828 million tons of sulfur ore and average grade of 0.74%, is known to be the largest open pit of iran and most probably the second largest copper mine in the world. this mine is located in the seismotectonic zone of central-iran, and 23 km away from the 150 km long rafsanjan active fault.in this study the vulnerability of the west wall of the...

Yeylagh-e-Gharechi porphyry copper deposit is located in the Arasbaran metallogenic belt at northwestern Iran, 25 kilometer of Ahar. Porphyry mineralization at the Yeylagh-e-Gharechi deposit occurred in post-Oligocene quartz monzonite and monzonite bodies which was hosted by Eocene volcanic rocks. Mineralization occurred as veins, veinlets and dissemination in hypogene zone. Supergene zone has ...

the darreh-zar porphyry copper deposit, located in the urumieh – dokhtar magmatic belt, lies about 10 km southeast of sar-cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit. the ore body with hydrothermally altered zones including potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, argillic and propylitic all related to the darreh-zar porphyry stock intruded the eocene volcanic rocks. pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, with ...

Since 1971, Island Copper Mine has been operating an open-pit mine, mainly for copper on the north shore of Rupert Inlet. Rupert Inlet is the most easterly inlet of Quatsino Sound on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Fig. i). The ore body was estimated to contain 250 million tons of reserves. Mining is proposed to be continued until 1996, at which time the reserves will have been dep...
