Porphyry copper deposits are among the most significant sources of copper globally, accounting for over 60% of the world’s copper production . 1. Geological Overview a) Geological Background Porphyry copper deposits are typically associated with magmatic arcs related to subduction zones, where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental or another oceanic plate. This tectonic […]Table of Contents Toggle 1. Geological Overviewa) Geological Background

Introduction Ore-bearing hydrothermal fluids are one of the most important agents in the formation of mineral deposits. These fluids, which originate from various geological processes, have the ability to dissolve, transport, and deposit metals in economic concentrations. The study of hydrothermal fluids is crucial for understanding ore genesis and guiding mineral exploration. This article provides […]Table of Contents Toggle Introduction1.

Introduction Alteration in geology refers to mineralogical, textural, and chemical changes in rocks due to interactions with fluids, temperature variations, and pressure changes. This process occurs in diverse geological settings, including hydrothermal systems, weathering environments, and metamorphic terrains. Understanding alteration is essential in mineral exploration, petrology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental studies. This article explores the […]Table of Contents Toggle IntroductionTypes and Processes of Alteration

Introduction The Induced Polarization (IP) method is one of the most effective geophysical techniques used in the exploration of sulfide ore deposits. This method is particularly useful for identifying disseminated sulfide minerals, which are commonly associated with copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) deposits. This article provides a detailed overview […]Table of Contents Toggle Introduction1. Understanding the Induced Polarization ...
