Base metal mineralization at the Baal Gammon and Isabel deposits of Herberton Mineral Field (HMF) is hosted in metamorphosed greywacke beds Hodgkinson Formation, which were intruded by granite, porphyry dykes overlain volcanic rocks Kennedy Igneous Association during Carboniferous Permian. The tin deposit a silicified, chlorite-altered, quartz-feldspar (UNA Porphyry). polymetallic veins hosting...

Magmatic zircon tends to present characteristic trends in trace element compositions response magma petrogenesis and metallogenesis, such that may provide a window into melt evolution not accessible by whole rock chemistry. The Yangla large Cu deposit is located the central part of Jinshajiang Suture Zone, southwest China, constrained between Faults. In this study, elements hafnium isotopic zir...

Mechanical cells have seen an exponential increase in size over the past 60 years. However, a possible limitation due to carrying capacity constraints has been raised. Taking Cu porphyry case, cell sizing exercise is used show that can be tested using available techniques. A range of conditions explored suggest continued above current maximum size, ca. 600 m3, does not seem warranted.

Abstract Most known porphyry Cu deposits formed in the Phanerozoic and are exclusively associated with moderately oxidized, sulfur-rich, hydrous arc-related magmas derived from partial melting of asthenospheric mantle metasomatized by slab-derived fluids. Yet, whether similar metallogenic processes also operated Precambrian remains obscure. Here we address issue investigating origin, f O 2 , S ...

The trace element composition of detrital magnetite grains recovered from six local streams around the Casino high-grade porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, west-central Yukon, is compared with igneous and magmatic-hydrothermal mineralized unmineralized host rocks at deposit. Linear discriminant analysis 12 elements (Mg, Al, Ti, V, Mn, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga Ge) plots Ti versus Ni/Cr are used to discrim...
