Exploration Guides for High-Grade Hypogene Porphyry Copper Deposits

Hypogene porphyry Cu deposits, unaffected by supergene enrichment, are generally perceived as relatively low-grade orebodies, in keeping with a current average production grade of 0.53% Cu. Nonetheless, all or large parts of some deposits exceed 1% Cu, and smaller deposit components can be much higher in grade, locally >6% Cu.

Porphyry Copper Deposit Model

This report contains a revised descriptive model of porphyry copper deposits (PCDs), the world's largest source (about 60 percent) and resource (about 65 percent) of copper and a major source of molybdenum, gold and silver. Despite relatively low grades (average 0.44 percent copper in 2008), PCDs have significant economic and societal impacts ...

Geology and Genesis of Major Copper Deposits and …

For example, development of major porphyry copper deposits/districts is favored by the presence of clustered alteration-mineralization centers, mafic or massive carbonate host rocks, voluminous magmatic-hydrothermal breccias, low sulfidation-state core zones conducive to copper deposition as bornite ± digenite, hypogene and …

(PDF) Porphyry deposits

porphyry copper deposits, such as Bingham and Bajo de la. Alumbrera, sulphide deposition was primarily due to cooling. of metal-rich, saline brines below 400ºC (Ulrich et al., 2001;

The largest known porphyry copper deposit is located at Chuquicamata (Chile) with total reserves (proved + probable + possible) of about 10 billion tonnes averaging 0.56% Cu. …

Porphyry Copper Deposits

Porphyry copper deposits are typically very-low grade with between 0.4 and 1% copper. The main mineral is chalcopyrite, which is finely disseminated through the host porphyritic rocks. The only reason these ore bodies are economic is because porphyries are huge, with hundreds of millions of tonnes available in a fairly low-cost …
