Steeple Rock Epithermal Mineralization

see: related abstracts ia McLemore — January 3, SUMMARY The Steeple Rock district in the Summit Mountains in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona offers an excellent opportunity to examine the relationship between the distribution and timing of the alteration and the formation of fissure veins in an epithermal environment.

1 Introduction Hypogene alteration in iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) systems is characterized in terms of a sequence of paragenetic mineral assemblages that result from fluid-rock interaction at scales ranging from regional to district to deposit.

CSMS GEOLOGY POST: BUTTE, MONTANA: COPPER MINERALS

Nov 11, &#; Chalcocite is a sulfide mineral (Cu 2 S) and primary disseminated grains and/or massive grains are common in hypogene rocks at all levels at Butte, and is an important copper ore However, Butte chalcocite also was deposited as a secondary mineral in thick, rich copper beds and may have altered from bornite, and in some localities replaced pyrite.

Copper Ore Types: Sulfides versus Oxides

Oxide Minerals Image Gallery and Descriptions

May 25, &#; The oxide minerals are compounds of metallic elements plus oxygen, with two prominent exceptions: ice and quartz Ice (H 2 O) always gets left out of the mineral books Quartz (SiO 2) is treated as one of the silicate mineralsSome of them are primary minerals that solidify deep in the Earth in magmas, but the most common oxide minerals form near the surface where oxygen in the.

Supergene Oxidation of Copper Deposits: Zoning and

copper oxides comprise a series of distinct assemblages that characterize a variable pH, oxidizing geochemical environment known as “the oxide zone” Development of oxide copper minerals is a function of source-rock and host-rock mineralogy, pyrite and other (copper) sulfide abundance and distribution, fracture density and.

Minerals, Rocks & Rock Forming Processes

A new set of minerals (or mineral assemblage) will form that is stable under the new conditions In other words, a new equilibrium mineral assemblage will appear (equilibrium being a state where the mineral assemblage is stable and does not change).

Mineral Resources

The complex geology of Oklahoma is the reason for its abundant mineral resources including petroleum (oil and natural gas), coal, metals (examples include copper, lead, zinc), and industrial minerals (examples are limestone, gypsum, iodine, sand and gravel)Typically Oklahoma ranks within the top 30 states in the production of nonfuel minerals with a value of about $500 million per year.

Primary Ore Mineral Assemblage and Fluid Inclusion Study

At such temperature-pressure conditions, the principal and initial Cu-Fe sulfide mineral assemblages are thought to be chalcopyrite + bornite solid solution (bnss) for the chalcopyrite-bearing assemblage, and chalcocite-digenite solid solution and bnss for the chalcopyrite-free assemblage.

Chalcopyrite mineral information and data

Named from the Greek words for “copper,” chalkos, and for “fire,” pyr, likely in reference to the color of the mineral as well as its copper content While similar to pyrite, Chalcopyrite is distinguished physically and visually as being softer and a brighter yellow with a green hue when wet.
