the cu, pb, zn, ag-au deposit of amensif is located on the northern flank of the western high atlas. this deposit is hosted in lower cambrian carbonate bars and is structurally controlled by ne-sw to e-w trending fault structures and is spatially associated with the permian 273 ma azegour granite. ore reserves are around 0.5 mt and grades are 3.21% zn, 0.58% pb, 0.86% cu with 83.31 ppm ag and 0...

The Maliping large-scale Pb-Zn deposit is located in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou polymetallic metallogenic triangle area (SYGT), where ore body hosted interlayer fracture zone at interface between siliceous cataclastic dolomite and clastic rocks Lower Cambrian Yuhuchun Formation tectonically driven. Unlike other de-posits Sinian Carboniferous carbonate area, mechanism deep peripheral prospecting...

The Cabaçal deposit is located in SW Amazonian Craton, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, with important Au-Zn-Cu mineralization. ore hosted by the Alto Jauru orogenic rocks (1.79-1.74 Ga) comprised of felsic volcanic and volcanoclastic mineralizations occur as bands concordant mylonitic foliation, breccias, quartz-carbonate veins rock-disseminated, polymetallic comprises chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasit...

We present a study on the Dongguashan quartz diorite stock which is largest Early Cretaceous intrusion associated with skarn-porphyry polymetallic ore deposit in Tongling Ore Cluster, Middle-Lower Yangtze Metallogenic Belt East China. The show massive texture without obvious foliation, and intrusive contact was locally observed inside of stock. anisotropy magnetic susceptibility (AMS) results t...

Ring a ring of roses: Spectacular nanoscale molecular assemblies have been created by design of individual polymetallic components that are then linked together through simple reactions. These include an assembly where six octametallic rings surround a dodecametallic central ring.

The supergiant Shizhuyuan W–Sn–Bi–Mo deposit is hosted by the Qianlishan granite, a small, highly fractionated granitic pluton (∼ 10 km) with multiple phases of intrusions within the Early Yanshanian granitoid province of SE China. Strong alteration of skarn and greisen that formed in the contact zone between the first and second phases of granite intrusions and Devonian limestone is responsibl...

With increasing demand for mineral resources, extraction of polymetallic sulphides at hydrothermal vents, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts at seamounts, and polymetallic nodules on abyssal plains may be imminent. Here, we shortly introduce ecosystem characteristics of mining areas, report on recent mining developments, and identify potential stress and disturbances created by mining. We analyz...
