A ship building grade of carbon steel has been coated with copper by a furnace brazing process starting from a brass braze. An argon protective atmosphere was used to prevent oxidation of the steel. However, when the deposit was produced a low gas flow rate ensured that zinc was lost from the brass by oxidation leaving a copper deposit on the steel surface. The copper was found to be zinc free ...

The study area is located in Jabal-Barez Ranges, southeastern part of Kerman Copper Belt (KCB), where the porphyry copper mineralization such as Kerver occurs. This article deals with the enhancement of hydrothermal alteration minerals for exploration of porphyry Cu mineralization, and differentiates intense hydrothermal alteration zones from those with low intensity. Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) ...

With the development of hyperspectral technology, it has become possible to classify alteration zones using data. Since various altered rocks are comprehensive manifestations mineral assemblages, their spectra highly similar, which greatly increases difficulty distinguishing among them. In this study, a Semi-Supervised Adversarial Autoencoder (SSAAE) was proposed zones, drill core data collecte...

This paper focuses on the relationships between the geological model and exploration techniques for porphyry Cu ± Au deposits, with reference to the discovery record and exploration practices over the past fifteen years. The porphyry model is built on a long record of study dating back to the 1960s which has been gradually refined to encompass differences and complexities in mineralization and ...

The Shand Cu-Mo deposit is located in the Orkhon-Selenge depression, Northern Mongolia. It lies near Erdenetiin Ovoo porphyry deposit, which together define one of Mongolian’s most economically significant metallogenic belts. In (Au?) several ore related breccia types are associated with porphyritic granodiorite intrusions, and they contain pre-, synand post-mineralized stocks, magmatic-hydroth...
