Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

supergene oxidation-leaching and secondary sulfide enrichment in the sarcheshmeh porphyry cu-mo deposit generated a supergene profile to depths of 20 to 80 meters with oxide ore reserve about 22 mt. @1.08% cu and sulfides ore [email protected]% cu. geochemical distribution and behavior of trace metals associated with cu namely mo, au, and ag in the supergene profile of the sarcheshmeh were po...

acid mine drainage (amd) containing high concentrations of iron and sulphate, low ph and variableconcentrations of heavy metals leads to many environmental problems. the concentrations of cu and mnare high in the amd of the sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine, kerman province, south of iran. in thisstudy, the bio-remediation of cu and mn ions from acid mine drainage was investigated using two nati...

The effects of ferrous and ferric iron as well as redox potential on copper and iron extraction from the copper flotation concentrate of Sarcheshmeh, Kerman, Iran, were evaluated using shake flask leaching examinations. Experiments were carried out in the presence and absence of a mixed culture of moderately thermophile microorganisms at 50 ̊C. Chemical leaching experiments were performed in the...

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...

Background & Aims of the Study: Welder’s exposure to welding fumes can cause occupational diseases. The current study sought to examine exposure to welding fumes among welders who work in the repair shop of Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex and design a local exhaust ventilation system to control exposure to welding fumes. Materials & Methods: This applied analytical study was co...

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rocks is an important geotechnical parameter required for designing geotechnical and mining engineering projects. Obtaining accurate estimates of the rock mass UCS parameter throughout a 3D geological model of the deposit is vital for determining optimum rock slope stability, designing new exploratory and blast boreholes, mine planning, optimizi...

the ali-abad porphyry copper deposit is located in the central iranian magmatic belt. as a result of subduction magmatism, oligo-miocene leucogranitoid rocks have intruded into conglomerates of lower cretaceous age. due to contact metamorphism the following mineral assemblage has occurred in the altered conglomerate: garnet (andradite-grossular) + epidote+ quartz + calcite + pyrite skarnificati...
