In the past decade, significant research efforts have been devoted to mineral chemistry
studies to assist porphyry exploration. These activities can be divided into two major fields of …

This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of potassic igneous rock
complexes, and investigates the various tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The …

Apatite is a common resistate mineral occurring in a range of host rocks and ore-related
hydrothermal alteration assemblages. Apatite in several porphyry copper deposits in British …

This study comprises the first systematic classification of native gold geochemistry within
alkalic porphyry Cu-Au systems and the placer expression of such systems. The …

Abstract The Red Chris porphyry Cu-Au deposit is located in the Stikinia island-arc terrane
in northwest British Columbia. It is hosted by the Red Stock, which has five phases of …

Propylitic alteration, characterized by the occurrence of chlorite and epidote, is typically the
most extensive and peripheral alteration facies developed around porphyry ore deposits …
