Trace element characteristics of zircon : a means of assessing mineralization potential of intrusions in northern Nevada

Creator:: Farmer, Lucian P.
Abstract:: Oxidized hydrous intermediate composition magmas are responsible for porphyry copper (Cu ±Mo ±Au) deposits and epithermal Au ore deposits formed globally in the shallow crust (Sillitoe, 2010; Seedorff et al., 2005). Recently, zircon geochemistry has been used to characterize both productive and barren intrusions associated with porphyry Cu-Au ore deposits....

Geology of the Cretaceous Lascano-East intrusive complex : magmatic evolution and mineralization potential of the Merin Basin, Uruguay

Creator:: Cernuschi Rodilosso, Federico
Abstract:: The Cretaceous Merín aborted-rift basin of eastern Uruguay is composed of sub-alkaline Paraná-Etendeka province basaltic flows and shallow intrusives (~133 to 131 Ma), rhyolitic ignimbrites (~130 to 128 Ma) and associated mildly alkaline to alkaline intrusions and volcanic rocks (~128 to 127 Ma). Four intrusive complexes from 20 to >30...

The geology, geochronology, and geochemistry of the Kaskanak Batholith, and other late Cretaceous to Eocene magmatism at the Pebble porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit, SW Alaska

Creator:: Olson, Nansen H.
Abstract:: The Pebble porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit in Alaska is one of the world's largest Cu-Au mineral resources. Late Cretaceous magmatic evolution in the Pebble district culminated with the intrusion of the Kaskanak Batholith and associated porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization. The Kaskanak Batholith is a multiphase granodiorite intrusion with an estimated footprint of...

Geochemistry of Plutonic Rocks of the Western Cascades, Washington & Oregon : Relationship to Crustal Segmentation and Ore Genesis

Creator:: Utevsky, Elinor S.
Abstract:: The volcanic (~45-10 Ma) and plutonic rocks (~37-12 Ma) comprising the Western Cascades extend from northernmost California to southern British Columbia and are ancestral to modern arc magmatism. The ancestral arc hosts a series of small plutons that are locally associated with porphyry (Cu-Mo) and epithermal (Au) ore deposits. Three...

Petrology and geochemistry of the Emigrant Pass volcanics, Nevada : implications for a magmatic-hydrothermal origin of the Carlin gold deposits

Creator:: Johnson, Curtis L.
Abstract:: The Emigrant Pass volcanics (EPV) are a 38.3 to 36.4 Ma calc-alkaline volcanic center that erupted andesite and dacite, and a late series of felsic dikes along the south flank of the Carlin gold district in north-central Nevada. The EPV includes dacite and rhyolite porphyry dikes indistinguishable from porphyry dikes...

The Geology and Geochemistry of the Haquira East Porphyry Copper Deposit of Southern Peru : Insights on the Timing, Temperature and Lifespan of the Magmatic-hydrothermal Alteration and Mineralization

Creator:: Cernuschi Rodilosso, Federico
Abstract:: This dissertation is informally divided into three major sections. In the first section (Chapter 2) I use data from field mapping, isotopic geochronology, whole rock geochemistry and trace element concentrations in zircons to examine the petrology, geochemistry and ages of the Haquira East porphyry copper deposit of southern Peru. In...

Compositional variations in hydrothermal white mica and chlorite from wall-rock alteration at the Ann-Mason porphyry copper deposit, Nevada

Creator:: Cohen, Julia F.
Abstract:: The detection of subtle variations in mineral chemistry in zoned hydrothermal alteration associated with the formation of porphyry copper deposits by short-wave infrared spectroscopy and rock chemistry are potentially valuable vectoring tools for mineral exploration. In order to correctly interpret the data collected by these methods, results must be calibrated...

Mineralogy and geochemistry of copper deposits of the Lights Creek Stock, California : an assessment of porphyry versus iron-oxide copper origin

Creator:: Stephens, Abigail E.
Abstract:: The Lights Creek Stock is an 18 square kilometer copper-bearing granitoid intrusion within the Plumas Copper Belt in the northern California Sierra Nevada. Engels Mine, Superior Mine, and Moonlight Valley represent the main copper-mineralization in the Lights Creek district and small prospects include the Ruby Mine, and Moonlight Creek. The...

Intrusion Sequence and Hydrothermal Fluid Evolution of Encuentro Porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposit, Northern Chile

Creator:: Osorio C., Jaime
Abstract:: This dissertation is divided into two major chapters. The first chapter covers the geologyof the Encuentro deposit with emphasis in the intrusion sequence, vein mineral assemblages and distribution, and age of mineralization. The data used for this section includes field mapping, petrography, elemental analysis of biotite, and isotopic geochronology. The...
