In the past decade, significant research efforts have been devoted to mineral chemistry
studies to assist porphyry exploration. These activities can be divided into two major fields of …

Apatite is a common resistate mineral occurring in a range of host rocks and ore-related
hydrothermal alteration assemblages. Apatite in several porphyry copper deposits in British …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest from geoscientists in potassic igneous
rocks. Academic geoscientists have been interested in their petrogenesis and their potential …

This study comprises the first systematic classification of native gold geochemistry within
alkalic porphyry Cu-Au systems and the placer expression of such systems. The …

Abstract The Red Chris porphyry Cu-Au deposit is located in the Stikinia island-arc terrane
in northwest British Columbia. It is hosted by the Red Stock, which has five phases of …

Propylitic alteration, characterized by the occurrence of chlorite and epidote, is typically the
most extensive and peripheral alteration facies developed around porphyry ore deposits …

Abstract The giant Pulang porphyry Cu-Au district (446.8 million tonnes at 0.52% Cu and
0.18 g/tonne Au) is in the southern segment of the Yidun arc (Zhongdian arc), part of the …

Abstract The Tuwu porphyry Cu deposit is located in the northern segment of the Jueluotage
metallogenic belt in Eastern Tianshan, on the southern margin of the Central Asian orogenic …

Timing of the major Baiyun gold deposit (~ 70 t Au) in the northeastern North China Craton is
controversial. A textural and geochronological study of high-grade gold ores identifies three …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is one of the most significant Cu poly-metallic mineralization
regions in the world and preserves important information related to subductional and …
