The Fe-Cu Dominga deposit (2082 Mt at 23% Fe, 0.07% Cu), located in the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile, is hosted by volcanic rocks of the Punta del Cobre Formation (131.5 +/- 1.5 Ma zircon U-Pb) and into subvolcanic ...

Stratabound Cu-(Ag) deposits located in north-central Chile have been grouped into two NS parallel belts according to the age of their volcanic and volcanoclastic host rocks. Deposits from the Cretaceous belt are characterized ...

Iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) and iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits are major sources of Fe, Cu, and Au. Magnetite is the modally dominant and commodity mineral in IOA deposits, whereas magnetite and hematite are predominant ...

The Patricia ore deposit represents an unusual example of economic Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization at the northernmost end of the Late Eocene-Oligocene metallogenic belt in Chile. It is hosted by volcano-sedimentary units, which ...

The superlarge Dongfeng gold deposit is located in the Potouqing faults-alteration belt of the eastern part of the ‘Zhao-Lai-gold ore belt’, which belongs to the northwestern part of the Jiaodong area. Tectonically, ore ...

Apatite grains from the Los Colorados iron oxide–apatite (IOA) deposit, the largest IOA deposit in the Chilean Iron Belt (CIB), exhibit significant intracrystalline spatial variability with respect to the concentrations ...

During the Late Jurassic–Early Oligocene interval, widespread hydrothermal copper mineralization events occurred in association with the geological evolution of the southern segment of the central Andes, giving rise to ...

Measurable molybdenum isotope fractionation in molybdenites from different ore deposits through time provides insights into ore genesis and a new technique to identify open-system behavior of Re–Os in molybdenites. Molybdenite ...

In oxide copper deposits, the acid soluble copper represents the fraction of total copper recoverable by heap leaching. Two difficulties often complicate the joint modeling and simulation of total and soluble copper ...
