Figure 1: Features and formation environments of porphyry copper deposits. The experiments reported here provide strong evidence for the extremely rapid disproportionation of SO 2(g) to sulphate and ...

Researchers from the University of Exeter, the British Geological Survey and the University of Surrey have published a study that addresses the missing link in models that explain the formation of ...

Giant ore deposits contain anomalously large quantities of metal and are priority targets for mineral exploration companies. It is debated whether these giant deposits have a unique mode of formation.

UK-based researchers have discovered that porphyry-type copper deposits form due to a rapid change in the underlying magmatic plumbing system which forms them. According to the group led by Lawrence ...

Copper is one of the most widely used metals on the planet today due to its electrical and thermal conduction properties. The greatest natural resources of this metal are the so-called 'porphyry' ...

Copper-gold porphyry mineralization at Bayan Tal is confirmed within a large scale Devonian "Oyu Tolgoi style" complex supporting priority drilling Geological and geophysical activities ongoing to ...
