The michiquillay porphyry copper deposit
Mineralium Deposita, 1974Michiquillay is a mineralized intrusive quartz monzonite porphyry displaying typical porphyry copper alteration zones as found in metallized intrusives of that composition. From the interior outward these are the phyllic, argillic and propylitic zones. The potassic zone is not exposed at the surface.

Porphyry tin deposits in Bolivia
Economic Geology, 1975Tin production from the central and southern parts of the Bolivian tin province has been derived largely from lode systems associated with high-level, late Tertiary stocks of intermediate composition. This paper proposes that several of these stocks, including those at the major Llallagua, Potosi, Oruro, and Chorolque mineralized centers, geological ...

Porphyry and Related Deposits of Northern Eurasia
Geology of Ore Deposits, 2023It is hard to overestimate the economic importance of the ore deposits of the “porphyry family” and related ones, in particular, epithermal, in the modern world. These deposits are represented by industrial concentrations of a wide range of metals, mainly copper, gold, molybdenum, tin, etc.

How to make porphyry copper deposits
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020Abstract Much of the world's economic copper resources are hosted in porphyry copper deposits (PCDs), shallow level magmatic intrusions associated mostly with thick ( > 45 km ) magmatic arcs, such as mature island arcs and continental arcs. However, a well-known, but unresolved paradox, is that arc magmas traversing thick crust, particularly ...

The Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper deposit
Economic Geology, 1975The Sar Cheshmeh porphyry copper, located in southern Iran, was mined in ancient times, "rediscovered" about 1966, explored during 1966-1969, and will be in full production in 1977 at a rate of 40,000 tons of ore per day. Mineralization is associated with a late Tertiary granodiorite porphyry stock, cut by a series of genetically related intramineral ...

Marcopper porphyry copper deposit, Philippines
Economic Geology, 1976Marcopper porphyry copper deposit is located in the Philippines near the center of the island of Marinduque, 180 km south of Manila. The island9s tectonic history is dominated by northwesterly trending elements of the Philippine mobile belt. Mineralization is related to differentiated intermediate intrusives which occupy the core of a northwesterly ...

Porphyry-Cu Deposits of Turkey
2019Turkey, located within the western Tethyan-Eurasian Belt contains numerous porphyry copper deposits formed by the subduction, collision and post-collisional events during the closure of NeoTethys Ocean between the latest Cretaceous and late Miocene. These porphyry systems and associated epithermal and skarn deposits are associated with the subduction ...

The formation of porphyry copper deposits
Acta Geochimica, 2016Copper is a moderately incompatible chalcophile element. Its behavior is strongly controlled by sulfides. The speciation of sulfur is controlled by oxygen fugacity. Therefore, porphyry Cu deposits are usually oxidized (with oxygen fugacities > ΔFMQ +2) (Mungall 2002; Sun et al. 2015).
