maherabad prospect area, which is studied in detail, is the first porphyry cu-au mineralization in the east of iran. based on relation of mineralization with subvolcanic intrusive bodies mostly monzonitic with porphyry texture, extent and types of alteration including potassic, sericitic- potassic, quartz- sericite- carbonate- pyrite, quartz- carbonate- pyrite, silicification- propylitic, propy...

This paper describes the application of a new multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique called fuzzy outranking to map prospectivity for porphyry Cu Mo deposits. Various raster-based evidential layers involving geological, geophysical, and geochemical geo-data sets are integrated for mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In a case study, 13 layers of the Now Chun deposit located in the Ker...

In order to improve our understanding of the mineral potential of northern Vancouver Island beyond the wellknown intrusion-related Cu-Au-Ag(-Mo) porphyry deposits (e.g., Hushamu, MINFILE 092L 240 and the former Island Copper mine, MINFILE 092L 158) and base and precious-metal skarns (e.g., Merry Widow, MINFILE 092L 044), we need a better understanding of the stratigraphy of the Bonanza island a...

Porphyry Cu–Au deposits are the major global source of copper, an essential metal for green transition, and a significant gold. They occur both in thick continental thin oceanic arcs at depths between ∼1 ∼6 km above parental magma chambers situated ∼5–15 depth. Although it is believed that precipitation processes these same arcs, not clear why porphyry two environments display different Cu Au e...

The main goal of this research work was to detect the different Cu mineralized zones in the Sungun porphyry deposit in NW Iran using the Spectrum-Volume (S-V) fractal modeling based on the sub-surface data for this deposit. This operation was carried out on an estimated Cu block model based on a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) using the C++ and MATLAB programing. The S-V log-log plot was gene...

Fe isotopes have been applied to the petrogenesis of ore deposits. However, behavior iron in mineralization porphyry-skarn deposits is still poorly understood. In this study, we report mineral separations (magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) from two different skarn deposits, i.e., Tonglvshan Cu-Fe deposit developed an oxidized hydrothermal system Anqing Cu a reduced system. both ca...

the area is located 20 km northwest of kashmar and about 4 km of kalateh taimour in khorasan razavi province. the study area is part of tertiary volcanic-plutonic belt north of daruneh fault and its situation in tectonic inliers between two important active faults, doruneh and taknar. volcanic rocks are mainly intermediate to acid pyroclastic type. they formed during early tertiary. the volcani...

Prospectivity modelling has been completed over the Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales, Australia, using the GIS based weights of evidence modelling technique to target porphyry Cu-Au, associated skarn Cu-Au, orogenic Au and VMS Au mineralisation. The Lachlan Fold Belt is a 700 km wide belt of Paleozoic accretionary terrains, stretching from Queensland to Tasmania. Porphyry and skarn mineralisa...

Hydrothermally formed rutile is a common mineral in porphyry Cu (-Au-Mo) deposits and has the potential to provide versatile information about physical-chemical conditions timing of mineralization. In this study, we investigated trace element composition U-Pb dates hydrothermal by LA-ICP-MS together with its petrographic context, four well-studied systems: Batu Hijau (Indonesia), Bingham Canyon...
