Download or read book Geophysical Signatures of Copper-gold Porphyry and Epithermal Gold Deposits, and Implications for Exploration written by Terence Graham Hoschke and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geophysical data are presented for a number of deposits including the Batu Jijau, Elang, Grasberg, and Alumbrera porphyry copper-gold deposits; the Martabe and Yanacocha high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits; and the Pajingo and Waihi low-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits. The physical properties of the mineralisation and alteration are discussed with emphasis on those properties that can be measured with standard exploration techniques. Mineralisation in porphyry Cu-Au deposits is commonly associated with magnetite that can produce strong discrete magnetic anomalies. This is usually within a zone of magnetite-destructive alteration that can be identified with a high-resolution magnetic survey. Magnetic surveys are also useful in defining regional structure and geology in the porphyry environment. Strong chargeabilities due to sulphides are typically associated with porphyry systems. Mineralisation and clay-pyrite alteration can produce strong anomalies, and late-stage and post-mineral intrusions can be mapped as chargeability lows within the system. These systems may be more conductive than the host rocks because of clay-pyrite alteration and sulphide veining, and airborne EM can be useful in locating and defining their extent. Gravity, radiometrics, remote sensing and topography may also be useful in exploration for porphyry Cu-Au deposits. In high-sulphidation epithermal systems gold is commonly associated with massive silica alteration. This alteration results in resistivities in the order of thousands of ohm-metres compared with background resistivities of tens of ohm-metres in argillic and propylitic alteration. Both ground resistivity and airborne EM surveys have been successful in locating and defining these deposits. Alteration in high-sulphidation epithermal deposits is magnetite destructive over a large area, although it does not appear to have a large vertical extent as the subdued character of the underlying lithologies can be observed. Typically, gold in low-sulphidation epithermal deposits is in thin quartz veins that are associated with major structures. The alteration associated with the veins is magnetite destructive, and high-resolution magnetics can be very useful and cost-effective technique to map the structures and alteration. Some deposits are associated with broad zones of magnetite destruction which is apparent in the regional magnetics. The mineralised quartz veins are within broader zones of silicification, and resistivity surveying can be used to map these zones. Generally, the high resistivity zones due to silicification are coincident with the structures identified in the magnetics. High-resolution magnetics and electrical surveys are the most useful geophysical techniques in exploration for porphyry and epithermal deposits. Airborne magnetic and EM surveys are fast and cost effective, particularly in areas of rugged topography. Regional magnetics, gravity, remote-sensed data and topographic data can also be used to identify major structures, intrusive complexes and alteration. Radiometric surveys can be useful in mapping geology and alteration.

Download or read book Helium Isotopes in Nature written by B.A. Mamyrin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in Geochemistry, Volume 3: Helium Isotopes in Nature presents the isotopic investigations of noble gases. This book describes the origin, the history, and the contemporary distribution of isotopes of helium. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of mass-spectrometric methods and measurements of the helium isotope abundance. This text then discusses the methods of collecting various terrestrial samples as well as the apparatus for helium extraction, volumetric measurements, and purification. Other chapters consider the isotope composition of primordial, radiogenic, and spallogenic light noble gases. This book discusses as well the origin and distribution of helium isotopes in meteorites, in the Earth's mantle, the crust and ocean, and in the atmosphere. The final chapter deals with the scientific and applied problems that can be resolved to the progress in helium isotope geochemistry. This book is a valuable resource for scientists. Research workers and students interested in the geochemistry of helium will also find this book useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral deposits have supplied useful or valuable material for human consumption long before they became objects of scientific curiosity or commercial exploitation. In fact, the earliest human interest in rocks was probably because of the easily accessible, useful (e. g. , red pigment in the form of earthy hematite) or valuable (e. g. , native gold and gemstones) materials they contained at places. In modem times, the study of mineral deposits has evolved into an applied science employing detailed field observations, sophisticated laboratory techniques for additional information, and computer modeling to build complex hypotheses. Understanding concepts that would someday help geologists to find new mineral deposits or exploit the known ones more efficiently have always been, and will continue to be, at the core of any course on mineral deposits, but it is a fascinating subject in its own right, even for students who do not intend to be professional economic geologists. I believe that a course on mineral deposits should be designed as a "capstone course" that illustrates a comprehensive application of concepts from many other disciplines in geology (mineralogy, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structure and tectonics, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, geomorphology, etc. ). This book is intended as a text for such an introductory course in economic geology, primarily for senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. It should also serve as a useful information resource for professional economic geologists.

Download or read book Potassic Igneous Rocks and Associated Gold-Copper Mineralization written by Daniel Müller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been increasing interest from geoscientists in potassic ig neous rocks. Academic geoscientists have been interested in their petrogenesis and their potential value in defining the tectonic setting of the terranes into which they were intruded, and exploration geoscientists have become increasingly interested in the association of these rocks with major epithermal gold and porphyry gold-copper deposits. Despite this current interest, there is no comprehensive textbook that deals with these aspects of potassic igneous rocks. This book redresses this situation by elucidating the characteristic features of potassic (high-K) igneous rocks, erecting a hierarchical scheme that allows interpre tation of their tectonic setting using whole-rock geochemistry, and investigating their associations with a variety of gold and copper-gold deposits, worldwide. About two thirds of the book is based on a PhD thesis by Dr Daniel Muller which was produced at the Key Centre for Strategic Mineral Deposits within the Department of Geology and Geophysics at The University of Western Australia under the supervision of Professor David Groves, the late Dr Nick Rock, Professor Eugen Stumpf!, Dr Wayne Taylor, and Dr Brendon Griffin. The remainder of the book has been compiled from the literature using the collective experience of the two authors. The book is dedi cated to the memory of Dr Rock who initiated the research project but died before its completion.
