Comparison of mineralization of the Sungun and Kighal porphyry copper deposits, NW Iran: with an emphasis on fluid inclusion studies

Journal of Economic Geology, 2019
Introduction Nowadays, more than half of the word’s copper production is obtained from porphyry copper deposits, large (greater than 100 Mt), low- to moderate-grade, disseminated, stockwork-veinlet, carrying at least trace elements, such as molybdenum ...

The Occurrence and Morphology of Naturally Occurring Respirable Mordenite Mineral Fibres in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mordenite is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral that is the seventh most common zeolite mineral globally, forming at low temperatures (≥100°C) in hydrothermal systems. In New Zealand, extensive deposits of mordenite are commonly associated with areas of hydrothermal alteration, particularly in the Coromandel and Taupo Volcanic Zones.

Porphyry indicator zircons (PIZs): Application to exploration of porphyry copper deposits

Ore Geology Reviews, 2020
Abstract Magmas with a high oxidation state (FMQ +1 to +2), a high-water content (≥ 4 wt % H2O) and a high degree of fractionation are necessary to form porphyry copper deposits (PCDs). Different proxies, such as Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio of whole-rock, minerals indicative of high oxygen fugacity (fO2) and water content as well as geochemical signatures of ...

Middle Cretaceous Andean‐Type Arc Evolution in the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Shalair Valley), Iraq: New Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

Risk quantification with combined use of lithological and grade simulations: Application to a porphyry copper deposit [PDF]

, 2016
The uncertainty in the recoverable tonnages and grades in a mineral deposit is a key factor in the decision-making process of a mining project. Currently, the most prevalent approach to model the uncertainty in the spatial distribution of mineral grades ...

Finite Element Modelling of Synthetic Normal Resistivity Logging Tool: Insights Into Vein Parameters, Borehole Fluids and Electrode Configuration

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Borehole resistivity logging can play an important role in subsurface exploration by enhancing the accuracy of surface data inversion models. However, its application in the mining industry remains limited due to challenges posed by complex geological formations, particularly in vein‐hosted deposits such as orogenic gold and porphyry copper ...

Major elements geochemistry of chlorite in different ore deposits and its genesis and exploration significance: a case study from Naruo porphyry Cu deposit in Duolong ore district, Tibet

Frontiers in Earth Science
Chlorite is present extensively in many types of deposits. The mechanism underlying the chemical variations in chlorite remains unclear. The Naruo porphyry deposit is a giant copper porphyry deposit in the Duolong ore district of Tibet.

Porphyry style copper mineralisation at Black Stockarton Moor, south-west Scotland [PDF]

, 1979
Reconnaissance soil sampling within the catchment of streams containing anomalous levels of copper in drainage samples led to the discovery of disseminated copper mineralisation in the Black Stockarton Moor area of Galloway, Scotland.
