Mineral systems with their core of ore deposits require a rare conjunction of geodynamic
settings, crustal or lithospheric fertility, crustal architecture and suitable host rocks, and …

Deep mineral exploration is increasingly important for finding new mineral resources but
there are many uncertainties. Understanding the factors controlling the localization of …

Abstract The North China district has been subjected to significant research with regard to
the ore-forming dynamics, processes, and quantitative forecasting of gold deposits; it …

The Patterson Lake corridor (PLC) in the southwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin hosts
several high-grade uranium deposits. These deposits are located in the basement up to 900 …

Unconformity-related uranium (URU) deposits in the Athabasca Basin occur in local areas
near the intersections of the basal unconformity of the basin and regional-scale, basement …

Résumé The potential of high-temperature (> 150 C) geothermal systems in crustal fault
zones (fault cores and hundreds of meters wide networks of interconnected fractures in the …

Finding new, effective predictive variables for 3D mineral prospectivity modeling is both
important and challenging. The 3D ore-forming numerical modeling quantitively …

A review of descriptive and genetic models is presented for unconformity-type uranium
deposits with particular attention given to spatial representations of key process components …

Granite-type uranium deposits are spatially associated with granitic rocks but structurally
controlled and hydrothermal in nature. The Miaoershan-Yuechengling region is regarded as …

Crustal fault zones provide interesting geological targets for high-temperature geothermal
energy source in naturally deep-fractured basement areas. Field and laboratory studies …
