Mineral potential mapping of porphyry copper deposit by translating the mineral system using soil geochemistry data at Kahang, Iran
Identification of geochemical anomalies is a critical task in mineral exploration targeting. Decades of research and technology have resulted in new algorithms and techniques for recognizing anomaly detection methods at various scales and sample media. However, algorithms cannot always reveal the true nature of geological processes. The mineral system concept may contribute to a better understanding of the geological processes required to form and preserve ore deposits at all spatial and temporal scales. The mineral systems concept investigates the geochemical processes occurring within mineral subsystems in soil samples from the porphyry prospect area. The Cu/(Al + Ca) index was used to compare Cu, Mo, and (Pb* Zn)/(Cu*Mo) to highlight the region of interest for mineral potential mapping and pioneer borehole drilling based on fluid-rock interaction and secondary processes (e.g., alteration, weathering, and leaching). Exploratory boreholes validate a better performing Cu/(Al + Ca) index for detecting and refining soil geochemical anomalies.
