introduction the kahang cu- mo deposit is situated approximately 73 km northeast of isfahan. asadi (2007) identified a geological reserve of 40 mt (proven reserve) grading at 0.53 cu, 0.02 mo and estimated reserve of 120 mt. all the rock types in the region have been subjected to hydrothermal solutions which gave rise to three different alteration facies. the dacite and rhyodacite volcanic rock...

sar-kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman province, iran. based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the sar-kuh area. early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

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...

A scalable, low-cost process for fabricating copper-based microwave components on flexible, paper-based substrates is demonstrated. An inkjet printer is used to deposit a catalyst-bearing solution (tailored for such printing) in a desired pattern on commercially-available, recyclable, non-toxic (Teslin®) paper. The catalystbearing paper is then immersed in an aqueous copper-bearing solution to ...

Consideration of the mining method is an essential component of ore reserves evaluation. This is particularly true where the profitability of a project is conditioned by the ability to mine selectively. Linear estimation methods such as Ordinary and Simple Kriging commonly fail to provide unbiased estimates of recovered ore tonnage and metal content which means that a mining project can be expo...
