Indicator mineral methods in mineral exploration M. Beth McClenaghan Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0E8, Canada (email: bmcclena) ABSTRACT: Indicator minerals are mineral species that, when appearing as transported grains in clastic sediments, indicate the presence in bedrock of a specific
Abstract Origin and emplacement processes of oredeposits connected with intrusions remains poorly understood. Here we propose a new model ''Magmatic Conduit Metallogenic System'' to explain the origin of oredeposits.

A model is proposed for the origin and emplacement of the ca. 341 Ma Aguablanca magmatic NiCu(platinum group element [PGE]) sulfide deposit (SW Iberia) integrating petrological, geochemical, structural, and geophysical data.
Salt formations worldwide. Rock salt formations are found all over the world on every continent. They extend deep underground. Some wellknown deposits such as the Permian Zechstein deposit in Europe, the Jurassic Gulf Coast deposit in the Americas and the Miocene Red Sea and Persian Gulf deposits in the Middle East have salt pillars which rise nearly 4 km above the top of the main salt body.
The Origin of Rocks and Mineral Deposits is the fruit of many years of ongoing research and practical application, resulting from a passionate attention to research and detailed field observations. It is recommended reading in the earth sciences. John Elliston started his geology education under the ...

Tectonic Origin of The Colorado Mineral Belt. by Rob Rice ES767 Spring 2015 What is the Colorado Mineral Belt? The Colorado Mineral Belt (CMB) is a ribbon of metalliferous hydrothermal deposits, resulting from Laramideaged magmatic activity at the forefront of the Rocky Mountain orogenic event (Tweto and Sims, 1963).
An ore is defined as a mineral or rock from which some valuable constituent, usually a metal, can be profitably extracted. Thus hematite and magnetite are ores of iron; galena is an ore of lead; zinc blende is an ore of zinc. With the oremineral is more or less material of no value, called gangue; and whether the ore as a whole can be profitably mined or not depends partly on the proportion ...
Porphyry copper deposits are copper orebodies that are formed from hydrothermal fluids that originate from a voluminous magma chamber several kilometers below the deposit itself. Predating or associated with those fluids are vertical dikes of porphyritic intrusive rocks from which this deposit type derives its name. In later stages, circulating meteoric fluids may interact with the magmatic ...
of methods available to ascertain the PT history of pegmatites and hydrothermal deposits, the fluid generation and migration. Open questions still remain on the timing of the mineralization, the emplacement history and generation of fluids to form pegmatite and hydrothermal deposits in the Matale district and its relationship to the

Mineral deposit Mineral deposit Formation of mineral deposits: Mineral deposits form because some medium serves as a concentrating and transporting agent for the ore minerals, and some process subsequently causes the transporting agent to precipitate, or deposit, the minerals. Examples of concentrating and transporting agents are groundwater, seawater, and magma; examples of .
Excellent outcrops in Matale Sri Lanka provide unique insight into the emplacement and evolution history of hydrothermal and pegmatitic rocks in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Field, structural, petrological, thermobarometric studies in the metamorphic basement rocks in the central highlands and related hydrothermal deposits are presented in this study.
Many gemstones are found in "alluvial deposits". These deposits have their origin in the destruction of the original rocks and the resulting materials by rivers, floods and glacial movement. During this movement the heavier minerals tend to remain relatively close to the source, whilst lighter minerals are carried further away.
The Cornubian batholith is a large mass of granite rock, formed about 280 million years ago, which lies beneath much of the southwestern peninsula of Great Britain. The main exposed masses of granite are seen at Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, St Austell, Carnmenellis, Land''s End and the Isles of Scilly.

Ore Deposits and Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics, like crustal evolution, provides a basis for understanding the distribution and origin of mineral and energy relationship of plate tectonics and mineral deposits is significant on three counts: Geological processes operating due to energy released at plate boundaries control the process of mineral deposition.

Volcanic Minerals . Can your knowledge of volcanic rocks make you rich? Yes!! That is, if you combine it with knowledge of mineral deposits and global economic factors. Volcanoes directly or indirectly produce or host deposits of aluminum, diamonds, gold, nickel, lead, zinc, and copper.
A mineral deposit is a natural concentration of minerals in the earth''s crust. The degree of concentration is called the "grade" of a mineral deposit. An "ore deposit" is a mineral deposit which has high enough grades of metal that makes it economic to mine.
(1983c) and Killick (1986). The mineral deposits of the orogen cover a wide range of types and their genesis can be related to: A rifting or extensional phase, during which mineral deposits of hydrothermal origin were formed in intracontinental rifts and in continental shelf environments; a convergence and collision phase which was ac
